Senior Simulation & FEA Engineer
The ASMPT team is looking to fill the above position immediately:
Join us where we’re enabling the digital world to realise the incredible potential, and we’ll support you to realise yours too.
Our technology powers everything with a digital component. We produce innovative equipment that enables the world's biggest names in electronics to bring their technology to market. We also enjoy a forward-thinking environment where continuous investment powers opportunities to work on exciting new projects on a global scale.
While we have offices – and career opportunities – around the world, the real magic happens at our Product Innovation Centre in Weymouth, where our people are quietly but confidently enabling and evolving digitisation on a global scale.
Our teams enjoy challenge and opportunity in equal measure, continually developing their skills, collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines, and working at the cutting edge of technology. We do it all in an environment where people come first, collaboration is second nature, and everyone benefits from living and working in a location that offers the best of city, country and coast.
We think you'll like it too.
The Role
As our portfolio of innovative products continues to grow, we're expanding our Mechanical Engineering team.
We are looking for a Senior Simulation & FEA Engineer to join our R&D department in Weymouth.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced simulation specialist to play a key role in the development of advanced printing and factory automation solutions. You'll provide expert simulation and finite element analysis (FEA) support throughout the product development lifecycle, helping to solve complex engineering challenges through technical expertise, innovation and analytical thinking.
