The Role
Leads finite element analysis and simulation for industrial valve components and assemblies. Performs linear and nonlinear structural, thermal, fatigue, wear, sealing, and fluid-structure interaction analyses. Applies advanced material models, optimization, and automation to improve structural integrity, manufacturability, sealing, and cost. Ensures compliance with ASME, API, ISO, and PED standards, validates models against testing, supports root cause investigations, and owns project delivery, resources, schedules, and customer expectations.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:
  • Work with the Global Engineering team and technical leads to perform FEA on valve components, assemblies with the goal to provide design and development recommendations. The simulation is giving guidance how to reduce weight of components and assemblies. 

  • Lead the problem identified in a design phase and provide solution using simulation.

  • Define and implement appropriate simulation strategies to solve engineering problems, including design exploration, Design of Experiments (DoE), sensitivity studies, optimization, and regression-based analyses.

  • Should be familiar with ASME section VIII div. 2 part 5 (Design by Analysis) 

  • Conduct linear and nonlinear structural analyses, including: 

    • Static stress analysis

    • Transient structural and thermal analysis

    • Low and High cycle Fatigue and life assessment

    • Thermal stress analysis

    • Contact and sealing simulations

    • Wear analysis

  • Evaluate valve performance under high pressure, temperature, and corrosive environments. 

  • Perform fluid-structure interaction (FSI) or support CFD–FEA coupling for flow-induced stresses and vibrations.

  • Should have understanding of APDL and Ansys ACT

  • Leverage the AI to automate the repetitive tasks in simulation 

  •  Provide recommendations for improving: 

    • Structural integrity

    • Sealing performance

    • Manufacturability

    • Cost efficiency

  • Support product development from concept to validation

  •  Ensure designs comply with relevant industry standards such as: 

    • ASME (e.g., Section VIII, B16 series)

    • API (e.g., API 6D, API 600, API 602)

    • ISO and PED requirements

  • Conduct analyses for pressure boundary qualification and safety factors.

  • Correlate simulation results with experimental data (pressure tests, burst tests, fatigue testing). 

  • Support root cause analysis (RCA) for field failures and non-conformances. 

  • Develop and maintain simulation validation methodologies

  • Owns project delivery, schedule, resources, and customer expectations

  • Capability development as the need may be during project execution

  • Should possess experience in advanced material modelling, including Hyperelasticity, Viscoplasticity, plasticity, cyclic plasticity, and other nonlinear constitutive material models as applicable


 
Who You Are:
 
You consistently deliver results by translating complex technical challenges into practical solutions and maintaining focus on organizational objectives. You build collaborative relationships across diverse teams and leverage different perspectives to achieve the best outcomes. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, making sound decisions based on analysis and engineering judgment, and adapting approaches when new information becomes available. You actively seek opportunities to improve processes, embrace innovation, and use emerging technologies to enhance efficiency, quality, and business value.
 

 
For This Role, You Will Need:
 
  • Proven experience of using FEA tools like Ansys, Abaqus
