About the job
Delivers customer-facing FEA and multi-body simulation workflows, building and validating engineering models and generating datasets for AI models.
What you'll do
- Build, run, post-process, and validate structural and multi-physics models, including integrating experimental data.
- Work with customers and data science teams to develop simulation-based AI solutions and datasets; communicate findings and document work.
- Use cloud and on-premise HPC resources to accelerate modelling, with customer-site travel of up to 2–3 weeks per quarter.
What they ask for
- Hands-on expertise in structural dynamics and vibration.
- High proficiency in at least one FEA solver (Nastran, Abaqus, or ANSYS) and one MBS solver (e.g., Adams, SIMPACK, Virtual Dynamics, or Excite M), plus working knowledge of pre/post-processing tools.
- Proficiency in Python for scripting and automation.
- Ability to own end-to-end simulation workflows and make independent engineering judgments.
Nice to have
- Proficiency in parametric CAD modelling (NX or CATIA).
- Exposure to open-source tools such as Calculix or OpenRadioss.
