Responsibilities

  • Set up and run FEM analyses: linear/nonlinear static, modal transient, random, frequency response, explicit, durability.
  • Analyze vibrational behavior, derive FRFs, and interpret mode shapes to optimize performance.
  • Apply DOE, response surfaces, optimization, and uncertainty analyses to explore design space and quantify risk.
  • Plan and perform tests for model correlation and validation.
  • Partner with test teams on accelerated life testing, translating field data into test requirements and simulation inputs.
  • Script pre/post-processing (Python, MATLAB) to scale studies and improve modeling quality.
  • Document standards, templates, and best practices; propose new methods to capture physics and speed up iteration.
  • Work closely with product development, manufacturing, supplier quality, and production teams, guiding decisions with technical data.
  • Deliver clear reports and presentations explaining assumptions, modeling choices, limitations, and design implications.
  • Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or related engineering field.
  • Strong understanding of FEM fundamentals, with hands-on experience.Ability to explain model behavior and link results to underlying physics.
  • Experience in test-based model calibration/validation and correlating simulation with experimental data.
  • Knowledge of fatigue analysis and durability assessment.
  • Proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB for data processing, automation, and custom tool development.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate in a multidisciplinary environment.
  • Proactive, self-directed learner who goes beyond the brief to resolve issues.
