• Simulation & Analysis: Performing thermal simulations, seismic vibration testing/analysis, and electric field simulations to validate mechanical integrity.
• Production Support: Managing design changes, overseeing successful implementation into production, and providing hands‑on technical support during manufacturing ramp‑up.
• Tool Utilization: Utilizing 3D CAD platforms and Advanced Simulation software to model and test components.

We are looking for

• A relevant degree (B.Sc. or M.Sc.) in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
• Previous experience using Ansys Mechanical for simulations (e.g., thermal, structural, or seismic analysis).
• Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling tools, particularly Creo and/or SolidWorks.
• A proactive, analytical, and quality‑driven mindset with the ability to bridge design and production phases.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken).

Any of the following is considered a plus

• Previous experience in power electronics, high‑voltage equipment, or FACTS/HVDC systems.
• Background in New Product Introduction (NPI) processes or R&D environments.
• Practical understanding of thermal management, busbar design, or sheet metal manufacturing.
