Simulation Engineer

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Simulation Engineer to join our engineering and R&D organization. This role focuses on the development, execution, and integration of particle-based
simulations with structural
, mechanical
, and thermal multiphysics simulations to support advanced manufacturing and materials development.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams—including materials, process engineering, QC, and manufacturing—to model complex physical phenomena, validate against experimental data, and deliver actionable insights to accelerate product development.

• Particle Simulation Development
  :
  Build and optimize discrete element method (DEM) simulations for particle systems, including powder flow, compaction, mixing, and segregation. Model particle-to-particle and particle-to-surface interactions with high fidelity. Develop simulation workflows to capture particle geometry, size distributions, and material properties from experimental characterization.
• Multiphysics Integration
  :
  Couple particle simulations with structural, mechanical, and thermal finite element analysis (FEA) or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. Simulate how particle behavior influences macro-scale mechanical integrity, heat transfer, and thermal stresses. Support multiphysics workflows linking discrete particle results into continuum simulations for tool design and process optimization.
• Validation & Data Integration
  :
  Collaborate with metrology/QC teams to align simulation parameters with experimental data from real processes and equipment. Incorporate sensor, time series, and process parameter data into simulation boundary conditions. Analyze d

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Computational Physics, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in particle simulations using tools such as Ansys Rocky, Altair EDEM, or comparable DEM software.
• Experience with structural, mechanical, and thermal simulation tools (e.g., Ansys Mechanical, Opti Struct, COMSOL).
• Demonstrated ability to integrate DEM with FEA/CFD multiphysics environments.
• Strong understanding of contact mechanics, particle dynamics, and thermomechanical coupling.
• Proficiency in scripting/simulation automation (Python, MATLAB, etc.).
• Familiarity with CAD integration, mesh generation, and solver setup.
• Experience with HPC or GPU-accelerated simulations is a plus.
• Knowledge of manufacturing workflows involving powders, compaction, and thermomechanical processing is strongly preferred.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong communication skills to present results to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment.

• Coupling simulation results to digital twin systems.
• Familiarity with manufacturing and QC workflows in materials processing.
• Knowledge of materials used in electrode and battery manufacturing.

• Collaborate with a cross-disciplinary team of innovators, engineers, and scientists.
• A chance to work on high-impact problems with real-world applications.
• Apply AI not in theory, but in mission-critical manufacturing systems.
• A culture that values curiosity, initiative, and getting your hands dirty.
• Influence the future of manufacturing AI from the ground up.
