Accountabilities: How You Will Make an Impact

Kinectrics UK has a pipeline of power transmission and distribution materials development and innovation projects, requiring finite element analysis (FEA) Multiphysics modelling and simulation of high voltage electrical cable systems. This new position, Electrical Engineer (FEA Modelling) will contribute to project activity through electrical, thermal and mechanical modelling to enable us to achieve high quality outcomes and support technology commercialisation.

You will join a multidisciplinary team of chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and field test engineers, providing insight to development work gained from decades of combined experience. Our team will work with you to develop your skills and range of expertise.

• FEA modelling of electrical assets, specifically high voltage cable systems, will comprise the majority of your work. Modelling activities of various other power generation, transmission and distribution systems can be expected.
• Perform finite element simulations on mechanical components and systems to evaluate performance under various loading conditions, including stress, strain, vibration, thermal, and fatigue analysis.
• Develop accurate FEA models, applying appropriate boundary conditions and material properties.
• Interpret simulation results, identify potential issues, and suggest design modifications. Collaborate with design teams to optimise product performance, manufacturability, and cost.
• Generate detailed reports with analysis results, visualisations, and recommendations for design and operational improvements.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, specifications, and design.
• Ensure all system-related documentation aligns with project-specific needs and regulatory standards.
• Provide design and technical support by clarifying requirements and assessing proposed.
• Ensure interface requirements and cross-design approvals are managed efficiently within the project timeline.
• Stay updated on the latest FEA techniques, tools, and industry best practices. Recommend and implement improvements to FEA processes and workflows.

What You Need to Succeed

• PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus on FEA modelling of high voltage electrical systems, preferably cable systems.
• Significant working experience of FEA modelling methods is compulsory.
• Solid knowledge of material science.
• Good knowledge of high voltage electrical systems.
• Proficient in FEA software such as ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL or similar platforms.
• Familiarity with post-processing software for results visualisation.
• Strong in written and spoken English and able to communicate in a clear concise manner.
• Willing to develop knowledge (team or personal) relevant for the role, the team and personal development.
• Aware of the importance of delivering results and can see a pathway to achieve them.
• Able to work in all situations while being amiable and empathic to those around them.
• Able to change behavioural style and approach (technical or personal) as the situation arises.
• Able to accurately assess a situation, communicate the intention and create a positive outcome.
