Jobbeschreibung

Committed and with passion for precision we create digital reality solutions combining sensor, software, and autonomous technologies to empower a sustainable future.

As a Simulation Engineer, you'll help shape the next generation of Leica Geosystems' high-precision products. By using advanced multi-physics simulations and virtual prototyping, you'll turn complex engineering challenges into innovative solutions long before the first physical prototype is built.

This appeals to you

• Support product development through multi-physics numerical simulations (structural linear/non-linear, shock & drop, thermal, fluid, electromagnetic, and multi-body dynamics)
• Collaborate with Hexagon teams worldwide to accelerate innovation and development cycles
• Set up high-accuracy FEA models tailored to precision instrument requirements
• Contribute to research and technology projects focusing on simulation-driven development
• Develop and refine simulation methods and modelling techniques to continuously expand our capabilities
• Build automated toolchains and evaluation pipelines using scripting (e.g. Python)
• Evaluate, benchmark, and advance commercial and open-source solvers to meet specific application needs
• Work in a highly specialized international simulation team, collaborating with experts from various engineering disciplines

This is you

• University degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field
• Minimum of 3–5 years of experience in numerical simulation (FEA, multi-physics, or related areas)
• Solid understanding of physics and numerical methods
• Experience in mechanical design and productisation is an advantage
• Experience with or an affinity for process automation (e.g. Python scripting)
• Knowledge of MSC Software tools, LS-DYNA and Siemens NX is beneficial
• Strong communication skills with an interest in mutual learning and knowledge sharing
• Passionate about simulation engineering and motivated by solving complex technical challenges
• Fluent in English; German is nice to have

Hands-on, proactive, with a collaborative mindset while also being able to work independentl

We offer you

• Flexible annual working hours based on a 40-hour week, with 100% employment
• Vacation entitlement: 25 days from the age of 20, 27 days from the age of 40 and 30 days from the age of 50
• Bonus system and extra-mandatory pension fund contributions
• Individual training opportunities (internal and external)
