Description:
We are seeking an experienced Simulation Engineer with a strong background in modeling, analyzing, and developing solutions for a wide variety of mechanical and hardware challenges. Our ideal candidate approaches complex problems with an analytical mindset firmly rooted in engineering first-principles. They are unafraid to challenge underlying assumptions, consistently validate their analysis through rigorous prototyping and empirical testing, and are dedicated to delivering solutions in addition to insight. We want someone who works well in a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment, can drive clarity from ambiguity, communicates complex concepts clearly, and is unafraid to tackle new challenges. If you are passionate about using your analytical skills to push the boundaries of what is possible, we want you on our team.
Simulation Engineer, Mechanical/Structural Responsibilities:
- Deliver mechanical and physics-based modeling, simulation, and analysis
- Collaborate with designers, engineers, and other cross-functional partners to identify risks, strategically create simulations, plan and conduct validation testing, and deliver objective, data-driven engineering guidance and solutions
- Contribute to the creation of product requirements and technical specifications
- Provide data and technical guidance for product architecture development efforts
- Organize and lead structural design reviews, solution brainstorms, and implementation efforts
- Drive failure analysis, root cause efforts, and design of experiments to resolve problems
- Present results in a form actionable by cross-functional team members and leadership
- Advance team capabilities through the use of new methods, materials, technologies, and software tools
Minimum Qualifications:
- BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
- Knowledge of engineering and physics-based first-principles
- Experience using a data-driven approach to analyze problems and deliver robust, optimized solutions
- Experienced with designing, building and testing prototypes to validate analysis
- Understanding of the mechanical properties for a broad spectrum of materials, for example glass, ceramic, plastic, polymers, and adhesives
- Hands-on experience with advanced material analysis for developing numerical models
- 5+ years experience using commercial Finite Element Analysis and numerical modeling tools such as Abaqus, ANSYS Mechanical, LS-Dyna, Cosmos, Matlab, etc.
- 5+ years experience with implicit and explicit analysis of mechanical systems
- 3+ years experience with 3D modeling software (NX, SolidWorks, Creo)
- 3+ years experience architecting products around thermal and structural solutions
- 3+ years experience in design, development and launch of consumer electronic products
- Experience building relationships and working cross-functionally with multidisciplinary teams
