About The Position

We are seeking a highly motivated Simulation Engineer to push the boundaries of virtual product development by combining traditional finite element analysis with modern automation and data-driven methods. In this role, you will go beyond standard analysis by building scalable workflows, uncovering hidden sensitivities, and applying guaranteed-by-design concepts to ensure robust solutions across mechanical and thermal challenges. You will work with advanced FEA and CFD tools to analyze structural, dynamic, and thermal performance, while also developing automated processes that improve efficiency and consistency. This position offers the opportunity to shape design decisions early, drive innovation in simulation practices, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact engineering solutions.

Requirements

• BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.
• Strong knowledge of solid mechanics and heat transfer.
• Hands-on experience in FEA.

Nice To Haves

• M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline, with 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Advanced experience in FEA and CFD, preferably in high-volume consumer electronic products.
• Direct experience with sensor technologies.
• Proficiency in Abaqus, ANSYS (Mechanical/Icepak), COMSOL, or similar simulation tools.
• Proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB for scripting and automation.
• Experience with data and statistical analysis methods (Monte Carlo, DOE, statistical process control).
• Additional exposure to electromagnetics and electrostatics, acoustics, fatigue, fracture mechanics, or biomechanics.
• Applied knowledge of material testing and modeling for nonlinear materials (e.g., adhesives, elastomers, polymers).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Conduct structural, thermal, and dynamic analysis of sensing technology.
• Build scalable workflows for finite element analysis.
• Uncover hidden sensitivities in product designs.
• Apply guaranteed-by-design concepts to ensure robust solutions.
• Analyze structural, dynamic, and thermal performance using advanced FEA and CFD tools.
• Develop automated processes to improve efficiency and consistency.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver engineering solutions.
