Graduate Mechanical Analysis Engineer

Graduate mechanical engineering role focused on using CAE simulation and analysis tools to evaluate, test, and improve complex mechatronic devices such as ATM systems.

Position Summary

This is a fantastic opportunity to work within the Hardware Engineering team based in Dundee. This is a multi discipline team developing and supporting complex Mechatronic devices used in banking machines (ATMs) that are deployed worldwide.

We are seeking a Graduate Analysis Engineer who will work as part of a cross functional design team on development projects that deliver new devices and improvements for our 24/7 high availability solutions.

The role will involve planning and executing analyses using specialist CAE tools to provide clear and concise design direction to the wider engineering team. A mechanical background is required with strong knowledge of mechanical engineering first principles. Basic hands-on mechanical skills would be advantageous.

The successful candidate will be a self-motivated team player able to demonstrate good analytical and problem-solving skills, understand the importance of attention to detail and have excellent written and spoken communications skills.

Graduate Analysis Engineer

The successful candidate will be a highly focused, self-motivated individual who already has a keen interest in analysis using CAE tools.

He/She should have some knowledge and understanding of:

• Structural analysis

• Multi-body dynamics

• Engineering material property knowledge – metals, plastics and rubbers

• Design of plastic components

• Design of sheet metal components

• Design of mechanisms

• Data analysis and result reporting (Excel, Word, PowerPoint etc.)

• Reading 2D drawings (dimensioning & tolerancing)

• Basic mechanical practical skills

Qualifications

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering (Hons 2:1 or better preferred)

Key Responsibilities

With the support and mentoring from our senior engineers:

• Support existing and new media (banknotes/cheques/vouchers) handling products from a mechanical perspective

• Use data points available to select the appropriate analysis approach

• Use CAE tools such as Ansys Mechanical and RecurDyn to evaluate different technologies and provide design direction

• Backup CAE tool findings using hand calculations or physical testing

• Collaborate with Engineers from different disciplines

• Produce clear and concise reports to easily share findings with wider team

• Recommend solutions

• Keep up to date with the latest developments in modelling and simulation
