The ideal candidate will be responsible for all pre-processing steps, including geometry clean-up, material definitions and meshing techniques as well as occasionally running, and interpreting FEA simulations using Abaqus software to support various engineering projects. This role requires in-depth knowledge of finite element modeling, expert skills regarding FEA model and meshing skills. The role also requires experience in NX CAD software for geometry preparation and cleanup skills, analysis techniques, and the ability to translate real-world mechanical problems into effective simulation models. Working level skills in other preprocessors including ANSA and Hypermesh is a strong plus.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop detailed finite element models using Abaqus CAE software to be used for simulating mechanical, structural, and thermal performance.
• Pre-process and post-process complex simulations, ensuring accurate model setup, meshing, and analysis.
• Apply expert techniques and best practices for building high quality mesh models and apply necessary element grouping and keywords using manual methods and scripting
• Troubleshoot and resolve modeling issues, refining models to improve convergence and computational efficiency.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of simulation best practices and advancements in FEA technology.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in finite element modeling using Abaqus CAE.
• Proficiency in finite element modeling, with a strong grasp of model preparation and meshing, material models, boundary conditions, and load applications.
• Experience with scripting in Python or other programming languages to automate tasks in Abaqus is a plus.
• Experience in NX CAD software for importing and exporting model geometries.
• Experience in ANSA and Hypermesh a strong plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with keen attention to detail.
• Excellent communication skills for reporting and collaborating with team members.

Preferred Skills:

• Background in mechanical design or structural analysis.
• Familiarity with other FEA pre-processing and modeling tools (e.g., ANSA, Hypermesh, ICEPAK, COMSOL).
• Experience with composite materials modeling or advanced material properties.
• Certification in Abaqus or FEA-related training courses a plus.
