Analysing large datasets from sensors, simulations, and operational logs to uncover valuable engineering insights
Translating core engineering principles into data-driven algorithms and analytical tools
Collaborating with product, analytics, and software teams to ensure seamless platform integration
Training and validating models using both experimental and real-world operational data
Contributing to technical documentation, system monitoring, and client-facing reports and visualisations
What you'll need Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent (Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field)
Strong background in structural dynamics, fatigue analysis, and materials behaviour
Proficiency in Python for engineering and data analysis tasks
Experience working with large, complex datasets, particularly from sensor systems
Familiarity with signal processing, time-series analysis, or machine learning
Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts clearly to diverse stakeholders
Desirable skills Understanding of SCADA systems, strain gauges, accelerometers, or similar structural health monitoring technologies
Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) tools and interpreting simulation results
Exposure to cloud-based data platforms and software tools such as Git, Docker, or Databricks
Experience with condition monitoring systems across various engineering sectors
