Job Purpose

Perform FEA, structural simulation and engineering calculations to support the design, development and validation of mechanical and vehicle systems, ensuring structural integrity, durability and design optimization.

Major Duties & Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Senior Engineers and Design teams to define analysis requirements, load cases and acceptance criteria.
• Perform static, dynamic, modal/vibration and thermal/thermo-mechanical analysis; relevant practical experience is essential.
• Perform fatigue, buckling and nonlinear/contact analysis is essential.
• Define boundary conditions, material properties, contacts, meshing strategy and convergence criteria and ensure appropriate FEA modelling practices.
• Perform engineering calculations, load-path assessment, structural sizing and factor-of-safety calculations to validate simulation results.
• Evaluate stress, strain, deformation, stiffness, natural frequencies, durability and structural margins and recommend design improvements is essential.
• Support design optimization, weight reduction, failure investigation and root-cause analysis are essential.
• Correlate FEA results with physical testing and support prototype validation and qualification is essential.
• Prepare analysis reports and present technical recommendations during design reviews is essential.
• Experience in blast, shock and impact analysis for defense applications would be an advantage.
• Knowledge of materials, GD&T, manufacturing, welding/fabrication and DFM/DFA would be an advantage.
• Experience in CAD/PLM, reverse engineering, 3D scanning and 3D printing would be an advantage.
• Implement and monitor mitigating measures identified through risk treatment and approved risk-management processes.
• Report operational risks and follow approved risk-management procedures, including applicable ISO 31000 and ISO 45001 requirements.
• Support other members of the Engineering Department and perform other duties as required.
