• Experience with NX CAD software for importing and exporting model geometries
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with keen attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills for reporting and collaborating with team members
• Valid US work visa, with no export compliance restrictions

Nice To Haves

• Experience with ANSA and Hypermesh
• Background in mechanical design or structural analysis
• Scripting experience (Python or similar) to automate tasks in Abaqus
• Experience modeling composite materials or advanced material properties
• Experience in battery technology

Responsibilities

• Develop detailed finite element models using Abaqus CAE software to simulate mechanical, structural, and thermal performance
• Pre-process and post-process complex simulations, ensuring accurate model setup, meshing, and analysis
• Apply expert techniques and best practices for building high-quality mesh models, including manual methods and scripting for element grouping and keywords
• Develop material models using material testing data
• Troubleshoot and resolve modeling issues, refining models to improve convergence and computational efficiency
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of simulation best practices and advancements in FEA technology
