Job summary

EDGE, headquartered in the United Arab Emirates and based in Abu Dhabi, seeks an experienced engineer to perform FEA, structural simulation, and analysis to support design and validation of mechanical and vehicle systems. You will ensure structural integrity, durability and design optimization through static, dynamic, modal, and thermal analyses.

The role requires 10+ years in engineering with strong CAE software skills (ANSYS, Creo, Windchill) and familiarity with defense/ automotive contexts.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical / Automotive / Mechatronics Engineering is essential; relevant Master’s Degree would be an advantage.
• Minimum 10+ years relevant engineering experience is essential, with strong practical FEA/structural-analysis expertise.
• Automotive, defense, heavy-vehicle or special-purpose vehicle experience would be an advantage.
• Strong experience with ANSYS or equivalent CAE software is essential.
• Experience with Creo Simulation, Creo and Windchill would be an advantage.
• Experience with Geomagic Design X, Control X and Artec Studio would be an advantage.

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.
• Learn, understand and comply with contractual obligations and established Quality and HSE standards.
