Principal Simulation & Analysis Engineer
Job Description:

Principal Simulation & Analysis Engineers - FEA

Job duties:

  • Directly support New Product Development (NPD) and Advanced Engineering projects with Finite Element Analysis of components and assemblies, with a focus on stress/strain evaluations.
  • Guide the development and use of other complex models, tools and algorithms related to stress/strain evaluations to support NPD projects and Advanced Development activities.
  • Mentor, train, and share FEA knowledge to increase the department's overall capabilities.
  • Model operational environments, perform trade studies via ANSYS, and provide decision support for alternative architectures.
  • Consult with teams on loading and boundary conditions and verify through failure analysis.
  • Recommend geometry or material changes for design robustness as well as weight, size, and cost optimizations.
  • Conduct linear and non-linear static analysis, modal analysis, frequency response, deflection analysis, and dynamic analysis (e.g. drop test analysis).
  • Conduct fatigue analysis and durability calculations.
  • Validate simulation results with theory and/or test data.
  • Regularly articulate complex simulations and their results in an easy-to-understand format with teammates, senior management, and executives.
  • Execute analysis on competitive parts and products.
  • Use highly effective communication skills to quickly understand the depth of work required and provide trade-offs of accuracy versus time to complete analysis; articulate and prioritize time constraints where needed.
  • Receive analysis requests from a variety of customers- must be strong in prioritization, timing, and scope discussions.
  • Grow organizational capability through knowledge sharing and collaboration with own and other departments across business units as required.
  • Collaborate with Design Engineers on Finite Element Analysis methods/techniques to ensure proper setup and interpretation results.

Bachelor's or equivalent degree in Modeling & Simulation, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related engineering field and 7 years of relevant design experience and Finite Element Analysis or a Master's or equivalent degree in Modeling & Simulation, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or related engineering field and 4 years of relevant design experience and Finite Element Analysis. Experience must include:
  • 3D CAD experience such as Solidworks or NX
  • Ansys, LSDYNA, Abaqus and Abaqus Explicit FEA software
  • Hypermesh and Optistruct software
  • Mechanical principles such as kinematics, structural materials and standard machine and mechanism components
  • Linear and Non-linear material modeling and evaluation of different load-based failure modes (yield, ultimate, and fatigue)
  • Engineering materials, mechanical properties, and the manufacturing processes associated with these materials
  • Root cause and failure analysis
  • Nonlinear FEA and fatigue analysis of on-road or off-road machine components

Ability to travel up to 10% domestically and internationally.
