You will collaborate closely with design, testing, and engineering teams to validate concepts, optimize performance, and provide data-driven recommendations.

Key Responsibilities
  • Set up, run, and monitor finite element analysis (FEA) simulations using internal systems and processes.
  • Interpret simulation results and prepare clear reports and recommendations for engineering teams.
  • Develop and maintain scripts, macros, and automation tools to improve simulation efficiency and workflow.
  • Collaborate with engineers and cross-functional teams to support design and development activities.
  • Assist with correlation and validation of simulation models using test and instrumentation data.
  • Create and deliver detailed technical presentations for engineering reviews and project discussions.
  • Support continuous improvement efforts within simulation and analysis processes.


Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
  • 2-4 years of experience in simulation, FEA, or product development engineering.
  • Strong understanding of statics, dynamics, and material behavior.
  • Experience with analytical problem solving and engineering fundamentals.

Preferred Skills
  • Working knowledge of Dassault Abaqus and CATIA.
  • Programming experience with Python, MATLAB, Java, or similar languages.
  • Knowledge of internal combustion, hybrid, and electric powertrain systems.
  • Familiarity with Design of Experiments (DOE) methodologies and optimization techniques.
  • Understanding of control systems and their application to automotive powertrain systems.
  • Experience correlating simulation results with physical testing data.

Desired Attributes
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality work.
  • Excellent documentation, organization, and record-keeping skills.
  • Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and in a team environment.
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills.
