A leading engineering and technology company in the offshore renewables sector is seeking an experienced Electro-Thermal Analysis Specialist to join its Research & Development team. This role focuses on the development and optimisation of MV/HV submarine cable systems and hybrid power transmission products for floating offshore wind applications.

You’ll be part of a specialist R&D function responsible for advancing cable technologies and supporting product innovation. The team provides technical expertise across electrical engineering, materials science, and cable system design.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and contribute to R&D projects focused on electro-thermal analysis of MV/HV cable systems.

  • Develop and maintain cable rating methodologies and simulation tools.

  • Conduct electromagnetic and thermal simulations using industry-standard software.

  • Provide technical support across the product lifecycle, including risk assessments and client specification reviews.

  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal standards and documentation.

  • Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to drive innovation and ensure technical excellence.

    Essential Qualifications & Experience:

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Mechanical Engineering with relevant experience.

  • Strong background in electromagnetic and thermal analysis for high-voltage cable systems.

  • Proficiency in simulation tools (e.g., COMSOL, ANSYS) and scripting languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB).

  • In-depth knowledge of submarine cable design, construction, and relevant industry standards (IEC, CIGRE).

Where to Advertise Materials Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise materials science jobs UK in 2026: specialist boards, academic channels and societies that reach physicists, chemists and metallurgists. The candidate pool spans physicists, chemists, metallurgists, ceramicists, polymer scientists and computational materials researchers — a highly multidisciplinary community with distinct professional identities, academic networks and job search behaviours. The strongest candidates are typically embedded in university research groups, national laboratories, government-funded programmes or deep tech R&D teams, and move between roles through specialist academic channels, professional societies and sector-specific networks rather than mainstream job boards. This guide, published by MaterialsScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise materials science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
