• Proficiency in Finite Element Analysis or Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation (ANSYS preferred).
• Proficiency in CAD modeling (NX, SolidWorks or other commercial code).
• Proficiency in a computational language (MatLab, Simscape, Simulink, Python).
• Experience in empirical testing, setup, and measurement with knowledge of data acquisition best practices and signal processing.
• Relevant work experience includes but is not limited to: FEA/CFD, multiphysics simulations, system modeling in Matlab/Simscape/Simulink/Python, laboratory testing and data acquisition.

Responsibilities

• Lead a team of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineers responsible for simulation, design, and development of new and mature products.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams to determine the scope, role, and contribution of the Analytical Engineering team.
• Assess the merits of multiple design directions and balance performance, quality and cost.
• Meet with direct reports regularly to provide technical guidance, manage direction, set priorities and deadlines.
• Provide training and guidance to direct reports for career development, establish goals and conduct performance reviews.
• Serve as SME in simulation, prediction and measurement of structural, dynamic, aerodynamic, acoustic, and vibrational performance of consumer power tools.
• Serve as SME in ROM to predict system performance using MATLAB, Simscape, Python, or similar languages.
• Support NPD and Advanced Engineering in R&D of new-to-market products and technology.
• Research and implement multi-physics simulation techniques (e.g., conjugate heat transfer, aeroacoustics, SPH/DEM, etc.).
• Manage annual budget including software licensing fees and contract negotiations for future purchases.
