I'm working with an innovative company at the forefront of condition monitoring technology. They're looking for a technically skilled Engineering Analyst to join their growing team and help develop cutting-edge analytics that improve the safety and efficiency of complex engineering systems. This is a fantastic opportunity to work at the intersection of mechanical engineering, data science, and software development – transforming complex performance data into scalable, real-world solutions that make a genuine impact. As an Engineering Analyst / Data Scientist you will be doing: Developing and implementing analytical models to monitor structural health, performance, and loads Analysing large datasets from sensors, simulations, and operational logs to uncover valuable engineering insights Translating core engineering principles into data-driven algorithms and analytical tools Collaborating with product, analytics, and software teams to ensure seamless platform integration Training and validating models using both experimental and real-world operational data Contributing to technical documentation, system monitoring, and client-facing reports and visualisations Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent (Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field) Strong background in structural dynamics, fatigue analysis, and materials behaviour Proficiency in Python for engineering and data analysis tasks Familiarity with signal processing, time-series analysis, or machine learning Understanding of SCADA systems, strain gauges, accelerometers, or similar structural health monitoring technologies Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) tools and interpreting simulation results Exposure to cloud-based data platforms and software tools such as Git, Docker, or Databricks Experience with condition monitoring systems across various engineering sectors This position offers the chance to work on meaningful engineering projects, combining your mechanical engineering expertise with modern data analytics. You'll be part of a collaborative environment where your technical skills will directly contribute to advancing condition monitoring technology and infrastructure. Following a major private equity investment last year, the company is experiencing significant growth with substantial backing for new technology, team expansion, and product development. If you're a mechanical engineer looking to apply your analytical skills in an innovative technical environment, I'd welcome a conversation about this opportunity. I've been specialising in IT and engineering recruitment across the Midlands for 25 years, and I'm known for straight-talking, honest advice throughout the recruitment process.
