Manufacturing Engineer - Modelling & Tooling
Coventry £32,000 - £45,000 p.a. Contract
Job Reference: 013429
The High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC) is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham and Rolls-Royce. The facility will enable a halving of the lead-time for the design & make of turbine components; develop novel techniques to enable future design styles and manufacturing systems and accelerate cost reduction & casting yield improvement activities. This is a chance to work within a co-located design and manufacturing engineering teams within the HTRC and in close collaboration with a wide range of research engineers from the relevant academic fields. Working in partnership with Consilium Recruit they are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer-Modelling and Tooling. The purpose of the role is to contribute to research and project delivery in manufacturing technologies. With a focus on CAD/CAM tooling modelling processes.
Benefits: 33 days holiday, flexible working week, Smart Holiday system, Life Assurance, Payment of professional subscriptions, Plus many others.
The Role
The role of Manufacturing Engineer-Modelling and Tooling will focus on the following key duties and responsibilities:
Work with the design and manufacturing leads to ensure that details for the relevant tooling, fixture and modelling challenges are captured.
Work with the Specialists, Plant CA teams and toolmakers to co-ordinate, manage and help execute modelling activity that allows concepts and hardware for tooling (and their ancillaries) to be delivered on time that addresses the technology challenges.
To ensure that research work is undertaken to meet or exceed the customers` quality expectations and within the budgets and timescales allocated to each project.
Prepare material to support Capability Acquisition Reviews (CAR), Manufacturing Capability Readiness Level (MCRL) packs and technology updates aligned to the HP components.
Support & build up the tooling design capability for small, complex parts exhibiting novel features.
The Person
The successful candidate for the Manufacturing Engineer-Modelling and Tooling will have knowledge and experience in CAD/CAM Tooling modelling processes. A good exposure to the industrial environment would be beneficial with an ability to pragmatically facilitate solution implementation. Further attributes and experience and qualification required includes:
A degree or equivalent in an engineering, science and/ or materials discipline is essential.
The post holder will need to be able to demonstrate a level of autonomy with supervision required in more complex projects / tasks.
Strong stakeholder management skills and able to articulate themselves confidently; good communication and presentation skills are necessary.
Design for manufacture and assembly of tools and fixtures for investment casting and CNC machining processes.
Proficiency to write optimisation algorithms using linear algebra and transformation matrices.
Finite Element and CAD/CAM experience, worked with modelling package: Siemens NX
Be able to liaise with supply chain network for non-conventional machining activity.
To apply for the Manufacturing Engineer-Modelling and Tooling please forward an up to date copy of your CV to Matthew Fielding.
