Quest Global; Finspångs kommun; On-site; SEK 650,000 - 850,000; Full time

Job summary

Quest Global in Sweden seeks an experienced FEA engineer to perform complex thermal and thermo-mechanical analyses for turbomachinery components such as combustors and transition pieces using Abaqus. You will contribute to reports and reviews with internal and external customers.

Required are 4–6 years of FEA experience in turbomachinery, strong fundamentals in finite element methods and solid mechanics, and familiarity with ASME BPV Sec VIII; rotor dynamics is a plus.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience performing static/dynamic, transient, linear and non-linear thermal and thermo-mechanical analysis using Abaqus.
• Experience in PRE-POST in Abaqus for similar turbomachinery components.
• Graduate or Post Graduate in mechanical engineering with 4–6 years in FEA, preferably in turbomachinery.

Responsibilities

• Execute complex FEA jobs with minimal supervision within a high-performing FEA team.
• Develop hand calculations and leverage engineering fundamentals for analyses.
• Perform steady state and transient thermal, structural and thermo-mechanical analyses.
• Define contacts, nonlinear behavior, and vibration/buckling analyses; assess HCF/LCF, creep and fracture mechanics.
• Produce analysis and certification reports and support technical reviews with customers.
