At Zenvo, balancing extreme performance, low mass, durability and vehicle refinement requires advanced simulation methods and deep engineering insight from the earliest concept phases through validation and homologation.\nWorking closely with Design, Vehicle Engineering, Safety Engineering, Program Management and Manufacturing, you will be responsible for delivering structural analysis and optimization activities across the vehicle. This includes carbon-fibre composite structures, aluminium and titanium components, suspension systems, subframes and other critical load-carrying assemblies.\nYou will play a key role in enabling innovative engineering solutions through advanced finite element analysis, helping shape vehicle architecture, structural performance and engineering decisions throughout the development process.\nIn addition to structural development, you will support vehicle attribute development through stiffness, vibration and NVH-related assessments, contributing to overall vehicle performance and quality.\nThis is a hands-on technical role requiring extensive experience in automotive CAE, lightweight design, structural optimization and composite engineering, with a strong understanding of both metallic and composite vehicle structures.\nKey Responsibilities\nPerform structural CAE assessments for vehicle, subsystem and component development from concept through production.\nDevelop and maintain high-quality finite element models for stiffness, strength, durability, fatigue and vibration assessments.\nLead structural development of carbon-fibre composite, aluminium, titanium and mixed-material vehicle structures.\nSupport the design and optimization of suspension systems, subframes, chassis structures and vehicle load paths.\nConduct static, dynamic and non-linear structural analyses to support engineering decision-making throughout vehicle development.\nDrive optimization activities to achieve ambitious targets for mass, stiffness, durability and performance.\nDevelop and evaluate composite laminates, bonded joints and hybrid material concepts.\nWork closely with Design and Engineering teams to improve structural efficiency while maintaining manufacturing feasibility and serviceability.\nSupport vehicle-level stiffness, modal and vibration development, contributing to overall vehicle attribute performance and refinement.\nCorrelate simulation results with test data and drive continuous improvement of modelling methodologies.\nEstablish and improve CAE standards, processes and best practices across structural analysis and optimization activities.\nCollaborate with suppliers and engineering partners to assess and validate component and system performance.\nClearly communicate technical findings, risks and recommendations to engineering teams and management.\nQualifications\nMinimum 5 years of automotive CAE experience within structural analysis, optimization or vehicle development.\nProven experience delivering structural development programs from concept through validation and production release.\nAdvanced proficiency with industry-standard CAE tools for structural simulation, optimization and post-processing.\nStrong experience with finite element modelling, structural analysis and optimization of vehicle systems and components.\nDemonstrated experience developing lightweight carbon-fibre composite and mixed-material vehicle structures.\nExtensive experience working with aluminium, titanium and composite load-carrying structures, including suspension systems, subframes and chassis components.\nStrong understanding of stiffness, strength, durability, fatigue and vibration analysis methodologies.\nExperience applying topology, shape, size and composite laminate optimization techniques to achieve demanding performance and mass targets.\nExperience correlating CAE results with physical testing and validation activities.\nGood understanding of vehicle attribute development, including structural dynamics, vibration behaviour and NVH fundamentals.\nDegree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a related technical field.\nFluent English.\nWillingness to travel to test facilities and engineering partners.\nApplication Process:\nZenvo is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4780,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced
