- Develop, execute, and review Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations using commercial Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools to evaluate structural performance
- Perform a range of analyses, including:
- Linear and nonlinear static analysis
- Dynamic analysis (Modal Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, Random Vibration Analysis, Impact/Drop Analysis)
- Thermal and thermo-mechanical coupled simulations
- Fatigue analysis (High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) / Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF))
- Build simulation models with appropriate material models, boundary conditions, contacts, and loading scenarios
- Apply knowledge of material behavior (metals, plastics, hyper elastic materials, and basic failure models) in simulations
- Evaluate simulation results to identify stress, deformation, fatigue life, and failure risks
- Perform hand calculations and engineering checks to validate FEA results using first principles
- Support Verification and Validation (V&V) efforts by correlating simulation outcomes with physical test data
- Assist in root-cause analysis and failure investigations using simulation results
- Prepare clear technical reports and documentation for internal stakeholders and customers
- Collaborate with design, test, and manufacturing teams to support simulation-driven design improvements
- Ensure simulation approaches align with industry standards and guidelines (e.g., American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM))
- Contribute to continuous improvement of modeling practices, templates, and workflows
