Job summary

Focused Energy in Darmstadt seeks a Mechanical Engineer – Design & Simulation to perform structural, thermal, and fluid-system analyses and drive design decisions. You will use FEA tools to validate designs, develop CAD models, and support multidisciplinary teams across mechanical and systems engineering.

Responsibilities include translating simulation results into actionable recommendations, ensuring manufacturability, and collaborating on verification plans and design reviews.

Qualifications

• Experience performing structural, thermal, dynamic, and fluid-system analysis in a professional mechanical engineering environment.
• Proficiency with FEA tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL) and validating results.
• Experience with CAD tools, preferably Autodesk Inventor, and linking analysis outputs to design decisions.

Responsibilities

• Perform structural, mechanical, and thermal analysis using FEA tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, or equivalent.
• Carry out fluid-system analysis and thermal modelling to support mechanical design decisions.
• Assess vibration, stability, and dynamic behaviour of mechanical assemblies and identify potential design risks.
• Validate simulation outputs against design requirements, engineering standards, and operating conditions.
• Translate analysis results into practical design recommendations to improve performance and manufacturability.
• Develop and maintain 3D CAD models and engineering drawings using Autodesk Inventor or similar tools.
• Define and execute verification activities and provide simulation evidence for design reviews.
