Senior Mechanical Engineer - FEA

Senior Mechanical Engineer will support product design and development through finite element and thermo-mechanical analysis of mechanical components and systems. This position will develop simulation models, perform structural and thermal analyses, interpret results, and collaborate with design and test teams to improve product performance, durability, and reliability.

Job Responsibilities

• Develop and execute finite element models for mechanical components and systems.
• Gather geometry, loads, boundary conditions, material properties, and other required analysis inputs.
• Perform structural, thermal, fatigue, and thermo-mechanical analyses.
• Interpret simulation results and identify opportunities to improve product performance, durability, and reliability.
• Evaluate design alternatives and recommend improvements.
• Support investigation and resolution of product and component issues.
• Document analysis methods, results, conclusions, and recommendations.
• Collaborate with design, simulation, test, and product engineering teams.
• Improve simulation tools, methods, automation, and analysis processes.
• Manage multiple analysis projects and priorities simultaneously.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Professional experience with finite element analysis or structural simulation.
• Understanding of mechanics of materials, stress analysis, fatigue, and heat transfer.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Ability to clearly communicate technical results and recommendations.
• Ability to work effectively within a collaborative engineering environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ABAQUS, NASTRAN, HyperMesh, Simcenter 3D, or similar FEA software.
• Experience with structural, thermal, fatigue, or thermo-mechanical analysis.
• Experience with linear elastic and plastic material analysis.
• Experience with Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue (TMF).
• Experience analyzing components subjected to high mechanical loads and temperatures.
• Experience with bolt, gasket, contact, or creep analysis.
• Experience with engines, power systems, machinery, heavy equipment, or other complex mechanical products.
• Experience correlating simulation results with physical test data.
• Experience working with designers to optimize component geometry and product performance.
• Graduate-level coursework or advanced knowledge of solid mechanics, fatigue, heat transfer, or related topics.
• Interest in simulation automation, AI-enabled analysis methods, or improving engineering simulation processes.
