About the role

We are seeking a Modeling and Simulation Engineer to join our growing AI and Modeling & Simulation team.
You should also have a strong foundation in structural mechanics and thermal effects.
The ideal candidate thrives in a collaborative environment and is effective at documenting, communicating, and presenting technical work.

Identify critical system attributes and develop computational models for current and future manufacturing machines, with an emphasis on structural and thermal.
Build and deploy multiphysics simulations, including thermal and mechanical models, using finite element methods for both steady-state and dynamic analyses.
Deliver executable computational models that support sensitivity analysis, design exploration, and optimization.
Propose validation experiments and use experimental results to calibrate, validate, and improve models.
Document simulation methods, assumptions, and validation results, and communicate findings clearly to the broader team.
Collaborate cross-functionally with prototype engineers, designers, and AI engineers.
Programming experience, especially in Python, and experience automating simulation workflows for design and optimization.

4+ years of hands-on experience in multiphysics modeling and simulation following completion of a bachelor's degree (or recent PhD).
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
Bachelor's, master's, or PhD in engineering, physics, or a related field.

Experience with other modeling domains such as CFD and robotic kinematics
Experience with thermal and mechanical contact modeling for industry applications.
Experience with CAD tools such as Onshape, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, NX, or similar.
Experience with data analysis and visualization tools such as JMP, MATLAB, pandas, or matplotlib.
Industry experience with product development processes such as Agile or similar frameworks.
Familiarity with other simulation domains, such as CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and robotic kinematics is a plus.
Experience with COMSOL and/or Ansys
experience with Abaqus, Siemens tools, or related software is a plus.
