Job Description

Minimum Requirement

• Grade 12
• Degree in Mechanical or Design Engineering OR a National Diploma in Mechanical or Design Engineering.
• Min 3 - 5 years of experience in a Simulation Engineering role.
• Previous simulation experience in linear and non-linear finite element analysis would be greatly advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Develop concepts and perform problem-solving to meet the design criteria under the supervision of the Chief Engineer.
• Define, create, solve, and interpolate simulation models according to the specifications provided by the Chief Engineer.
• Evaluate finite element simulations.
• Prepare simulation models of components; sub-assemblies and assemblies, using the business file structure guidelines, number protocol, and design standards.
• Prepare simulation solutions of design concepts, using own initiative and incorporating the inputs of members of the development team.
• Responsible for the technical integrity of the allocated simulation, including the integrity of the results and conclusions made.
• Document and record simulation results.
• Ensure traceability of simulation models or results.
• Follow the development process and procedures as described in the quality system, ensuring that the relevant reviews and procedures are completed, to reduce design risk.
• Assist during the testing of prototypes, ensuring that closed-loop feedback can take place during the simulation process.
• Communicate with the testing and design team, to ensure the flow of information during prototyping and development.
• Ensure all project documentation is generated and gathered, as well as filled according to business processes.
• Communicate and incorporate inputs from the test and design parties during the design process.
• Include the test and design parties to perform tests to complete the design cycle utilising business processes.
• Plan and schedule tests as required on allocated simulations.
• Ensure that projects are executed according to the time, mass, and budget targets.
• Represent the business at design reviews.
• Attend design reviews internally and externally with the client.
• Management of simulations throughout the acquisition phase, being accountable.
• Manage a simulation group, within a program.
• Planning the work loading of simulation personnel and license requirements.
• Drafting, approval, and sign-off of simulation tasks.
• Responsible for the execution of simulation projects, under the supervision of the Senior Simulation Engineer.
• Design support, capturing of requirements during the development phase.
• Assist ILS with feedback to design on repair, maintenance, and other information required.
• Responsible for the allocated simulation from inception up to sign-off.
• Ensuring components are assessed with the correct load cases during the development phase.
