Description

The Analysis & Simulation engineering function provides a vital role in Ultra's complex engineering projects.

The engineers use technical expertise and knowledge of computer simulation technologies to test the performance, durability and functionality of engineering solutions in a virtual environment.

They also perform testing in non virtual environments to support product qualification.

A professional at this grade applies technical / professional knowledge, making independent judgements based on practice and significant previous experience to support decision making.

Often seen as a referral point or more senior team member to escalate more complex problems. Roles will act independently with mínimal guidance, and may act as project managers/formal mentors for junior staff.
