ResearcherWeir GrouSantiagoPurpose of Role:This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and motivated individual over a 30 month period in using advanced simulation tools and validation techniques to further enhance the Weir's foundational engineering capabilities. For this post, emphasis will be given to the simulation and experimental validation of minerals processing equipment. The quality of the simulations are dependent upon pre-calibration of the models, which will require repeatable laboratory test methodology development before undertaking product specific simulations and tests. Working as part of a consortia, the R&D engineer will develop and pioneer the simulation tools to reflect Weir's needs, allowing integration into the wider business.Why choose Weir: Be part of a global organization dedicated to building a better future: At Weir, the growing world depends on us.
