Job Description
This role is being advertised at 2 different grades depending on relevant experience. The salary will be either 40609 or 54376 (inclusive of a Specialist Allowance) and Onsite working is expected for 3 days each week however we actively support requests for Flexible Working.
Please include a covering letter detailing your motivation for applying and highlighting your relevant skills and experience.
This role is can be based at the following sites; Culham Oxfordshire Rotherham South Yorkshire.
This role requires employees to complete an online Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) including The Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) checks for criminal convictions and possibly a search of open source data.
Who are we looking for
As we are growing the UKAEA virtual engineering programme we currently have an exciting opportunity for computational engineers or physicists who want to work at the forefront of their field leading in research and of integrated multidisciplinary and multiphysics simulation tools to solve some of our most complex problems.
As an experienced engineering analyst you will be adept in performing computational engineering or physics analyses have experience in supervising others or leading teams and bring enthusiasm flair and diversity to our dynamic team.
What will you be responsible for
In this role you will work as part of a growing team helping to foster and implement a strategy for the development of analysis and simulation capability to provide progressive and continual enhancement to the delivery of engineering projects. You will support the development and deployment of integrated simulations and realisation of a fusion reactor digital twin. You will help in identifying and exploiting opportunities for growth writing research proposals making links between related disciplines and holding deep knowledge of the landscape of computational analysis and simulation both within and outside the fusion community.
