Senior Lead Stress Engineer

Cyient; Hyderabad; On-site; INR 2,000,000 - 4,000,000; Full time

Job summary

Cyient seeks a senior CAE engineer to perform structural analysis on aero engine components using FEA tools. You will coordinate with offshore and global teams, develop APDL macros, and deliver 100% quality on time. Strong background in static, modal and transient analyses is required.

Experience with ANSYS and HyperMesh essential; scripting in MATLAB/Python a plus. This role demands independent work and effective communication with Design, Aerodynamics and Structures teams.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in stress analysis of aero engine components using commercial FEA tools.
• Strong grounding in FEA theory, solid mechanics, machine design and fatigue.
• Expertise with ANSYS Classic, ANSYS Workbench and HyperMesh.
• 2D/3D FEA modeling of complex components using ANSYS APDL or Workbench.
• Proficient in linear and non-linear static stress analysis.
• Modal, harmonic and transient dynamic stress analysis.
• Experience with APDL macros development.
• Ability to build/update FE models in HyperMesh.
• Desirable scripting: MATLAB, VB, TCL/Tk, Python.

Responsibilities

• Perform structural analysis on aero engine components and turbomachinery.
• Conduct complex analyses using hand calculations and computational methods.
• Coordinate with offshore and global teams to define analysis scope and material models.
• Act as coordinator across Design, Aerodynamics and Structures for project inputs.
• Prioritize multiple projects and work autonomously.
• Review technical presentations, interpret results and present to customer.
• Ensure 100% quality and on-time delivery.
• Lead project review meetings to share lessons and best practices.
• Provide alternative field solutions and process improvements by automation.
• Work on complex CAE problems to support product development.
• Prepare technical proposals and business cases for new improvements.
• Modify designs and validate with FE analysis.
• Demonstrate strong technical, PM, interpersonal and problem-solving skills.
