FEA Engineer
About The Position
The FEA Engineer is an individual contributor on the IPSD-L Thermo-Fluids Team, providing Virtual Product Development analysis and simulation to support the design and issue resolution of 9–18L internal combustion engines. The role focuses on technical delivery and contributes to identifying, analyzing, and resolving complex Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Thermo-mechanical Fatigue (TMF) problems. The engineer collaborates with design, simulation, test, and platform teams to analyze and optimize engine components, including heads, blocks, pistons, and exhaust manifolds. The role also explores AI-enabled simulation practices and new tools and processes to improve simulation efficiency and velocity. Typical tasks include gathering boundary conditions and model geometry, setting up and meshing FEA models, running analyses, analyzing results, and reporting findings and discussing design changes to optimize performance.
