Join ThrustEdge Simulations: Graduate Engineer (Mechanical/Aerospace Focus)

Are you a passionate engineer with a knack for pushing boundaries in CleanTech and Aeronautics? ThrustEdge Simulations is a cutting-edge R&D startup founded by a former international student, dedicated to designing proprietary hardware and intellectual property that addresses critical performance challenges in advanced systems like EV batteries, next-gen UAVs, and lightweight structures. We are builders of future technology, leveraging advanced simulation to accelerate our internal R&D, not consultants.

We’re looking for a talented Innovation Engineer to join our lean, dynamic team and contribute directly to our exciting internal projects. You will play a key role in developing innovative hardware designs and validating their performance virtually.

Our primary mission is not profit but building industry-relevant expertise. Working with us, you’ll develop your skills, contribute to groundbreaking projects, and create a professional portfolio that helps you stand out. Any future revenue from our projects will be equitably shared among team members.

What You’ll Do, not alone but in a team:

• Lead and contribute to the design and optimization of proprietary hardware concepts for high-performance applications in CleanTech (e.g., advanced battery thermal management) and Aeronautics (e.g., aerothermal UAV components).
• Conduct advanced numerical simulations (CFD, FEA, Multiphysics) to validate and refine our designs, significantly reducing the need for costly physical prototyping.
• Develop and implement innovative simulation methodologies for complex engineering problems.
• Collaborate closely with the founding team to transform cutting-edge ideas into tangible, high-performance IP.
• Generate detailed technical reports and compelling visualizations of simulation results to support IP development and future partnerships.

What We’re Looking For:

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, or a related field from an accredited institution (IMECHE preferred).
• We encourage international students to apply.
• Theoretical and practical understanding of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and heat transfer principles.
• Knowledge of CAD software for complex part and assembly design.
• A passion for innovation, problem-solving, and a drive to contribute to sustainable technologies.
• Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail.

Why Join ThrustEdge Innovations?

• Gain professional experience working with other graduates on innovative projects.
• Cutting-Edge Work: Be at the forefront of hardware innovation in high-growth sectors.
• Impactful IP Development: Your work will directly contribute to creating proprietary designs and methodologies shaping future technologies.
• Unrivaled Tool Access: Work with industry-leading simulation and design software, including SOLIDWORKS, CATIA V5, FUSION 360, COMSOL Multiphysics, and Ansys. We equip our team with the best tools for groundbreaking results.
• Dynamic Startup Environment: A flexible, collaborative, and fast-paced setting where your ideas matter.
• Professional Growth: Develop deep expertise in advanced simulation and design, with continuous learning opportunities.
• Access to simulation software.
