An ability to apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking across a range of technical problems and propose appropriate software solutions.
Good communication and presentation skills at all levels of the organisation.
Preferred Requirements:
Technical knowledge of aerothermal and/or mechanical design methodologies.
An understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts, which may include manufacturing engineering, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, thermal and mechanical analysis, cost engineering and product definition.
Knowledge or experience of digital technologies such as AI/ML, Model-Based Systems Engineering, Physics-Based Modelling and Simulation, and Statistical Analysis.
Experience of working within cross-functional and multi-disciplinary teams.
