About the role

Simulation Engineer focused on finite element analysis (FEA) and multi-body simulation (MBS) across automotive and aerospace, delivering end-to-end CAE workflows integrated with AI-tools, and collaborating with data scientists and customers.

Responsibilities

  • Owning the technical delivery of building complex structural and multi-physics models from geometry clean-up and meshing, to simulating and post-processing complex real-world phenomena, integrating experimental data for model validation.
  • Partnering with customers to address their most complex engineering challenges through advanced FEA & AI solutions; communicate results clearly
  • Working at the intersection of CAE and Data Science to generate high-quality simulation datasets for training Machine/Deep Learning models. Leveraging data sampling techniques to efficiently capture the design space, reduce computational cost, and enhance model accuracy.
  • Accelerating high-fidelity modelling by using Flux (our cloud platform) and on-premise HPC resources, going beyond smart meshing and model setup to achieve real performance gains.
  • Documenting work through clear technical reports and process notes, contributing to the team's shared knowledge base.
  • Traveling domestically and globally (North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania) up to 2–3 weeks per quarter to work on-site with customers.

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of industry experience (post Masters or PhD) delivering FEA, MBS, or structural dynamics analysis in a commercial engineering environment
  • Hands-on expertise in at least one FEA solver (Nastran, Abaqus, or ANSYS) and at least one MBS solver (e.g., Adams, SIMPACK, Virtual Dynamics, or Excite M)
  • Working knowledge of pre/post tools (e.g., SimLab, HyperMesh, OptiStruct, Hypergraph)
  • Proficiency in Python for pipeline scripting and automation
  • Proficiency in parametric CAD modelling (NX or CATIA)
  • Exposure to open source tools (Calculix, OpenRadioss) is an advantage
  • Comfortable owning a workflow end-to-end: model build, solver setup, run management, results interpretation
  • Ability to collaborate with customers and work on-site
  • Excellent communication to present results clearly
