Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Analyst to join our multidisciplinary engineering team for a 2-year fixed term contract. You will play a key role in the mechanical design and structural integrity assessment of components critical to the Diamond-II upgrade, including high-precision accelerator and beamline systems. Many of the FEA applications at Diamond include the ability of optical and mechanical components to handle high heat loads without excessive deformation, vibration or a material durability issue.


Responsibilities will include:

  • Performing advanced FEA simulations (static, thermal) on complex mechanical systems.

  • Supporting the design and optimisation of accelerator and beamline components, including vacuum vessels, support structures, precision assemblies and X-ray optics.

  • Collaborating with mechanical engineers, scientists, and external partners to ensure robust...
