• You will be reporting to the Director of Mechatronics & Structures in the mechanical engineering team.
• We are looking for someone who can drive robustness and optimality in the structural design of our subsystems through CAE simulations (Structural Analysis) for future Laboratory Diagnostic instruments and automation platforms.
• In this role, you would also champion improvement of our existing simulation methods and best practices.

Your role:

• You will perform Structural Analysis simulations to guide structural design of our future Instrument platforms as well as to aid reliability improvements and design changes to existing Instruments.
• You will apply best-in-class CAE methods and practices to Structural Analysis to enable optimally robust structural designs.
• Proficiency in the client NX (CAD) and Simcenter 3D Structures is required.
• Must be familiar with basic Material Science, structural failure mechanisms and theories.
• Knowledge of nonlinear FEA is highly desirable.
• Must possess good knowledge of commonly used Engineering/Structural plastics.
• Experience with development of Multibody Dynamics models in Simcenter 3D Motion is highly desirable.
• Exposure to Design Optimization methods (particularly, HEEDS), is highly desirable.
• You will develop designs and CAD models in support of test platform development as well as new concept prototypes.
• You will contribute to developing prototypes and test platforms for new design concepts.
• Experience with CAE tools for other Physics and Mechanics simulations (Electromagnetics, Fluidics, Thermal-structural coupled simulations, Acoustics) would be a plus.
• You will be responsible for guiding design engineers in executing the mechatronics design cycle that involves understanding design requirements, concept generation, design selection, and driving simulation-based mechanical / structural design optimization and robustness.
• You will work with mechatronics specialists as well as design and test engineers from Mechanical Engineering to develop and integrate novel, improved and cost-effective Structural Design solutions for Instrument and Automation platforms.
• You will participate in design reviews with cross-functional teams.
• You will actively be part of the continuous improvement efforts within the Mechatronics Engineering function by contributing to development of improved modeling and simulation techniques, and authoring CAE / Structural Analysis best practices.
• You will actively participate in the identification of potential technical problems and provide effective solutions through original and innovative thinking.

Your expertise:

• You possess a solid understanding of fundamentals of mechanics, dynamics, mechanical engineering and CAE methods & tools
• You have a strong background and experience in CAE-based Structural Analysis.
• You have working knowledge of the client NX CAD software and Simcenter 3D Structures.
• Your working knowledge of structured design optimization methods (including Bayesian Optimization) schemes would be a plus.
• Prior experience with Simcenter 3D Motion would be highly desirable.
• Experience with Multiphysics / Coupled Physics modeling involving Structures, acoustics, fluidics would be a plus.
• Experience with scripting using NX Open is highly desirable
• Your familiarity with statistical methods, Design of Experiments, and data analysis is highly desirable.
• You have a strong "system thinking" approach to problem solving.
• You are a team player with experience of working in multi-disciplinary teams.

Required skills and education to have for the success of this role

• Bachelors/Masters/Doctoral degree in Mechanical/Electrical/Aerospace/Biomedical/Mechatronics Engineering or Engineering Physics.
• Knowledge of the NX CAD software is required.
• Relevant prior work experience of 2-15+ years is preferred. However, candidates of all experience levels may be considered depending on their prior academic and work background, experience, and education level.
• Prior experience in product development for medical, aerospace, automotive, factory automation, robotics, and Precision Instruments industry is preferred.
• Work authorization: TBD
