Develop and debug complex finite element models independently.
Perform nonlinear structural simulations for battery packs at the system, subsystem, and component levels using CAE tools.
Conduct pre-processing, meshing, simulation setup, post-processing, and result evaluation.
Provide technical recommendations and design guidance based on simulation results.
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to obtain simulation boundary conditions.
Support correlation of CAE models with physical testing data.
Coordinate with CAE teams supporting meshing and geometry cleanup activities.
Prepare clear, organized technical reports documenting analysis, conclusions, and recommendations.

Graduate-level coursework in Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
Thesis, research, or project experience involving structural analysis.
Experience with nonlinear FEA projects.
Minimum 4 years of experience working with structural components and designs in an engineering environment.
Minimum 3 years of experience using ABAQUS for nonlinear finite element analysis (5+ years preferred).
Strong expertise in:
- ABAQUS
- HyperMesh
- nCode or fe-safe
- 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX)
Experience building and setting up finite element models.
Experience evaluating simulation results and correlating CAE results with physical testing.
Ability to independently modify and assess finite element meshes.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.

M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
Experience with:
- OptiStruct Non-Linear
- HyperView
- ABAQUS Viewer
- Teamcenter
- ANSYS or equivalent CAE tools
Experience with fatigue analysis tools such as FEMFAT, nCode, or fe-safe.
Knowledge of structural materials, fracture mechanics, crack propagation, and energy flow analysis.
Experience with Python scripting in ABAQUS.
Familiarity with thermal-mechanical coupled analysis.
Experience using optimization tools such as modeFRONTIER, iSight, HEEDS, Tosca, or OptiStruct.
Experience with physical testing and validation.
Ability to mentor junior engineers and collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams.
Knowledge of variability, robustness, and Six Sigma methodologies.
