This post seems to be quite old, but I have a BS in Physics and I am learning more about CFD, FEA, and simulation analysis techniques right now through certificate programs online. I have used SEM before and CVD years ago when I was getting my Nanoscale Materials Technology Associates Degree. I have a strong knowledge of chemistry as well and love learning about new materials in science. BAE Systems I know to be a great company and I would be willing to relocate to the UK if I saw a future career path laid out for me with BAE Systems. My number is 5183966919 so give me a shout if this position or other applicable positions are still available. Thank you so much and look forward to talking to you.
