CAE Analyst – AI-Enabled Simulation Workflows

Saratech•Mission Viejo, CA

About The Position

We are looking for a hands-on CAE Analyst to help evaluate, test, and refine AI-assisted simulation workflows. This role sits at the intersection of engineering judgment and emerging AI tooling, ensuring that AI-generated CAE workflows are technically sound, practical, and production-ready. You will act as a power user and technical reviewer, stress-testing AI-driven setups across FEA, CFD, and Multiphysics use cases while providing structured feedback to improve accuracy, robustness, and usability.

Requirements

5+ years' experience in CAE / simulation engineering
Strong fundamentals in structural FEA (linear/nonlinear, modal, frequency response)
Experience in at least one of: CFD Thermal / Multiphysics Vibration / fatigue
Proficiency with commercial solvers (ANSYS, NX Nastran, etc.)
Solid understanding of modeling assumptions and limitations
Comfortable questioning results and explaining why something works or doesn't
Interest in AI-assisted engineering workflows (you don't need to be an AI expert)

Nice To Haves

Consulting or multi-industry experience
Experience reviewing or approving analysis work
Familiarity with automation, scripting, or DOE
Exposure to validation & verification (V&V) practices

Responsibilities

Execute and validate AI-generated CAE workflows in tools such as ANSYS, SolidWorks, and Abaqus
Compare AI-driven setups against best-practice, manually built models
Identify gaps in: Boundary conditions Meshing strategies Solver selections Post-processing and reporting
Run benchmark case studies (structural, thermal, vibration, CFD, Multiphysics)
Provide clear, engineer-to-engineer feedback to AI and product teams
Help define validation criteria and "acceptable use" guidelines for AI in CAE
Document findings in concise technical summaries and example workflows
