FEA Simulation Engineer: Drive Design & Reliability

UL INTERNATIONAL-SINGAPORE PRIVATE LIMITED; Singapore; On-site; SGD 60,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job summary

UL International-Singapore Private Limited is seeking an Mechanical/CAE Engineer to develop high-quality finite element models and run simulations under varied loading conditions. You will correlate analytical results with physical test data to ensure designs meet safety, reliability, and regulatory requirements.

You will collaborate with design, testing, and manufacturing teams to enable simulation-driven design decisions while supporting customer and compliance objectives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
• 2–4 years of relevant experience in mechanical simulation, structural analysis, or CAE.
• Strong fundamentals in mechanics of materials, FEM theory, and structural dynamics.

Responsibilities

• Develop, execute, and review FEA simulations using CAE tools to evaluate structural performance.
• Perform analyses: static, modal, harmonic, random vibration, impact/drop, thermal and thermo‑mechanical, fatigue (HCF/LCF).
• Build simulation models with appropriate material models, BCs, contacts, and loads.
• Apply material behavior knowledge to simulations (metals, plastics, hyperelastic materials).
• Evaluate results for stress, deformation, fatigue life, and failure risks.
• Perform hand calculations to validate FEA results using first principles.
• Support V&V by correlating simulations with physical test data.
• Assist in root‑cause analysis and failure investigations via simulations.
• Prepare technical reports for internal stakeholders and customers.
• Collaborate with design, test, and manufacturing to drive design improvements.
• Ensure approaches align with ASME, ISO, ASTM standards.
