Senior Analytical Design Engineer
Location:Horsham
Who We Are:We are a leader in the field of clean energy technology, enabling the world's most progressive companies to decarbonize at scale and pace. Our technology includes advanced power generation and alternative energy solutions. Our partnerships with global companies have paved the way for developing clean energy systems that revolutionize power generation, transportation, industry, and everyday living.
Purpose of the role
This role sits within the department of Modelling and Digitalisation, consisting of highly skilled and dedicated modelling and simulation engineers, data scientists, and data engineers. ?The department does advanced multi-domain computational modelling, specialist data analysis, and creates bespoke data products and cloud data platform solutions to support all core areas of the business, with a focus on accelerating the companys product and technology development. The scope of the modelling work for this role is versatile, ranging from creating reduced order physics-based models to using commercial multi-physics modelling tools to solve challenging problems for a wide variety of internal and customer facing projects. Whilst the role focuses primarily on structural and finite-element analysis (FEA) based computational modelling work, a versatile computational modelling background is highly beneficial. ???
?
Key Accountabilities:

  • Responsible for delivering high quality and verified modelling tools, modelling output and analysis to accelerate our core product development.
  • Responsible for ensuring that new design elements are de-risked, optimised, and robust to variations in operation over the product lifetime primarily in the structural and FEA domain.
  • Where required, take responsibility for technical leadership of a modelling team to deliver work packages to an internal or customer facing project.
  • Collaborate and work with a wide range of internal and customer facing projects to solve business-critical problems.
  • Present modelling results in a clear and consistent manner to internal and external project teams.
  • Support IP creation through modelling - explore new design ideas for our products.
  • Support the roll-out of modelling tools to different parts of the organisation; deliver training and advice on the use of tools, interpretation of results, modelling approaches & best practices.
  • Contribute to the long-term strategy and the future direction of the department.

?
Knowledge and skills required for the role:

  • Degree qualified in a relevant discipline to a Bachelor or Master level (e.g. Mechanical-, Automotive-, Aerospace-Engineering, Chemical & Process Engineering, or another STEM related field)
  • Several years of industrial experience in computational modelling especially in the FEA domain using tools such as Ansys, COMSOL, Star CCM, Abaqus a wider modelling domain background and experience is highly beneficial
  • Deep understanding of analytical design and verification methods, and limitations of computational models
  • Ability to create physics-based models from first principles and solve problems using these (e.g. using programming languages such as MATLAB or Python)
  • Excellent communicator: capable of communicating and building and maintaining effective relationships at all levels
  • Fast learner of new domain knowledge, proactive, self-starter able to work with minimal instructions in a fast-paced environment, not afraid to fail and try again

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.
