You’ll collaborate with cross‑functional teams to drive innovation, validate designs through simulation‑testing correlation, and develop cutting‑edge methodologies that directly impact product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

Responsibilities

• Perform complex finite element analyses for structural integrity, stress distribution, fatigue life, and failure prediction.
• Conduct thermal‑mechanical coupled simulations to evaluate product performance under various operating conditions.
• Down‑select suitable glue material properties for the assembly supporting product and process development using simulation tools.
• Validate simulation models through correlation with physical testing data.
• Model and simulate adhesive dispensing patterns and flow behavior using CFD tools.
• Predict bond line thickness, coverage areas, and potential void formation.
• Optimize adhesive application processes for manufacturing efficiency.
• Develop new modeling techniques and use modeling and simulation tools to support process development and failure analysis.
• Stay current with advances in modeling techniques and simulation tools to contribute to the development of new techniques and methodologies.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree with 10 years of experience or master’s degree with 5 years of experience or PhD with 3 years of simulation and modeling experience working in an R&D setup is preferred.
• In‑depth understanding of various computational methods, such as FEA, CFD.
• Proficiency in simulation tools, such as ANSYS (STRUCTURAL, APDL, FLUENT), ABAQUS, STAR CCM+, COMSOL or similar.
• Hands‑on skill on 3D and 2D CAD design software, like NX, SolidWorks or ProE/Creo.
• Experience in programming languages, such as Python, C++, Fortran or similar.
• Excellent problem‑solving, analytical and critical thinking skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong analytical, coding and simulation knowledge is preferred.
• Knowledge of AI/ML development for simulation is preferred.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Familiar with Design for Manufacturability (DFM), and Design for Assembly (DFA), stack‑up tolerance analysis techniques.
