Modeling Engineer

Key Responsibilities Build and manage detailed finite element models for mechanics analysis and potentially heat conduction problems, components, and materials under static, dynamic, thermal, and nonlinear loading conditions. Perform linear non‑linear structural, thermal, impact, and fatigue analyses using commercial FEA tools such as ABAQUS, ANSYS, LS‑DYNA, COMSOL. Interpret results to assess design performance, identify critical stress strain locations, and recommend design improvements. Develop and calibrate constitutive models for metals, polymers, composites, or coatings based on experimental data. Apply Design of Experiments DoE, parametric studies, and topology shape optimization techniques to support customer product design. Collaborate with material scientists to design validation experiments, compare simulation predictions to physical test results, and refine models for improved accuracy and predictive power. Work with design, manufacturing, and product development teams to translate engineering insights into relevant design or process changes. Prepare technical documentation, analysis reports, and presentations summarizing modeling work. Qualifications A BS or MS degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or related technical subject, with CAD and FEA course studies, hands‑on experience with Abaqus or Ansys tools. 2 years or more validated related experience. Record of accomplishments in mechanics analysis: coursework, projects, publications and conference presentations. Hands‑on laboratory experience on mechanical experimental techniques. Proficiency in using commercial CAD tools. Must be a U.S. Person as defined by U.S. export control regulations (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident) to comply with government project.
