- Conduct and coordinate nonlinear structural finite element analysis (FEA) for short fiber reinforced plastic & copper alloy-based high-speed interconnect systems, through Hypermesh & Abaqus tools or ANSYS tools.
- Deliver reliable FEA results in a timely manner and effectively communicate them with product design engineers through clear written and verbal presentations.
- Provide design recommendations to improve and optimize product structural performance based on FEA results, ensuring that design targets are met.
- Participate in the correlation of CAE simulations to real-world tests and improve existing modeling methods as needed.
- Develop new FEA techniques and modeling methods, working both independently and collaboratively with vendors to improve their accuracy and efficiency.
- Lead the development of new products and oversee the activities of global teams, ensuring alignment with engineering management priorities.
- Publish technical papers and patents.
Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)
- B.S. Degree in Mechanical or Related Engineering Discipline.
- 6+ years’ experience with nonlinear implicit and explicit finite element analysis.
- 6+ years of ABAQUS or ANSYS FEA Simulation Software Experience.
- 2+ years’ experience with parametric CAD systems (UG NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, etc.)
- Good verbal and written English communication skills that demonstrate the ability to express complex technical concepts clearly and concisely.
- Customer service skills that demonstrate the ability to respond to user problems with a sense of urgency.
What Will Put You Ahead
- M.S. or Ph.D. Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Related Engineering Discipline.
- 10+ years’ experience with Altair (Hyperworks, Simlab) family products.
- 5+ years’ experience with CAE modeling applications in predicting nonlinear structural behavior on short fiber reinforced plastics & metals.
- Experience with explicit solver, e.g., LS-DYNA, Abaqus Explicit.
- Experience with molding simulation software, e.g., Moldflow, Moldex-3D, Digimat, Converse, etc.
- Experience with Python scripting & CAE process automation tools (modeFrontier, Isight, optiSLang, etc.)
- Established records of invention such as patent ownership or technical paper authorship.
