Job summary

Range Energy seeks a Mechanical Engineer to own complex structural analysis for trailer subsystems, from CAE to hardware integration. You’ll perform FEA, develop load cases, and ensure designs are robust and manufacturable through close collaboration with systems, electrical, and manufacturing teams.

The role offers hands-on design ownership, with opportunities to lead durability, fatigue, and thermal analyses and to contribute to real hardware development in a fast‑moving environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field
• 2+ years of experience in mechanical design and/or structural analysis (internship and project team experience considered for strong candidates)
• Hands-on proficiency with FEA tools, preferably Ansys (Mechanical, Workbench)
• Experience with CAD tools (CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks)
• Solid understanding of structural mechanics, fatigue, and material behavior
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple tasks in parallel, and communicate findings clearly

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute structural FEA models using CATIA & Ansys to validate trailer subsystems — chassis, suspension, enclosures, and structural interfaces
• Build and maintain load cases, boundary conditions, and simulation workflows that support design decisions across the mechanical team
• Perform durability, fatigue, and thermal analyses to ensure designs meet real‑world operating requirements
• Lead or contribute to mechanical design efforts — component design, tolerance analysis, and drawing release — commensurate with experience level
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and manufacturing teams to integrate analysis into the design cycle and drive design‑for‑manufacturability
• Correlate simulation results with physical test data; own root‑cause analysis when designs don’t perform as expected
• Document analysis methods, assumptions, and results to support design reviews and build institutional knowledge
