FEA Engineer

Overview

Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the US without sponsorship at any point.

We are seeking an experienced FEA Analyst to conduct structural, thermal, and dynamic analyses on products and assemblies. The ideal candidate is a proactive self-starter, adept at working in fast-paced environments, and able to effectively communicate results and optimization opportunities to our engineering team.

• Perform various types of FEA analysis, including linear/non-linear static, quasi-static, and dynamic analysis
• Normal modes, frequency response, and random response analysis
• Optimization studies using physics-based and data-driven methods
• Independently determine boundary conditions for large, complex non-linear models under implicit and explicit environments
• Generate 2D shell and 3D tetra meshes on intricate geometries meeting stringent quality criteria
• Debug solution sequences and update models for convergence
• Develop internal FEA methods and specifications to align with customer requirements
• Provide technical feedback to customers and/or engineers on FEA outputs, design, and optimization results
• Conduct correlation studies between FEA and test data, identify discrepancies, perform root cause analysis, and update models
• Conduct fatigue and thermal mechanical analyses
• Generate material curves from raw stress-strain data

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Mechanics, or a related field
• Industry experience: 3-5 years of experience in FEA or automotive design is preferred
• Proficiency in FEA meshing tools and pre/post processors
• Strong understanding of structural mechanics and dynamics, failure theories, heat transfer, and manufacturing processes
• Experience with implicit/explicit and NVH FEA simulations
• Familiarity with CAD software/models
• Experience with plastics, elastomers, and anisotropic materials is preferred
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
