Alloyed is a venture-funded company consisting of more than 160 world-class metallurgists, mechanical/design engineers, and software developers working across offices in the UK, Japan, and Seattle. We specialise in developing advanced metal components for industries including consumer electronics, AR/VR, liquid cooling systems, and additive manufacturing (AM) applications. Our proprietary software packages leverage advanced machine learning and physical modelling to create innovative alloys, optimise processing techniques, and design high-performance, 3D-printed components.

We are seeking a highly skilled Simulation Engineer to support and advance our simulation-driven design activities, specifically targeting structural and thermal analysis of additive manufactured components. Your primary focus will include consumer electronics products, with particular emphasis on AR/VR systems and liquid cooling solutions. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to validate simulation accuracy, optimise designs, and improve performance outcomes.

• Conduct structural (FEA) and thermal simulations (CFD) to support the design and optimisation of additive manufactured components and product assemblies using those components.
• Prepare and execute simulation campaigns, defining boundary conditions, material properties, and performance metrics.
• Collaborate with design and production teams to refine simulation models.
• Define and execute experimental campaigns to validate simulations.
• Generate technical reports and present simulation findings, highlighting implications and recommendations for design enhancements.
• Generate and present technical reports to customers highlighting added value of design development.
