Job Objective: 

Perform Finite Element analyses to support design and validation decisions, with clear and traceable reports. Includes conventional structural analyses and simulations of short events (e.g., shock/impact and fast transient loads).

Responsibilities: 

Execute structural FEA analyses (stresses, strains, stiffness, and safety factor), including contact and nonlinearities when necessary.

Perform stability (buckling) and vibration/modal assessments when applicable.

Conduct simulations of short-duration events (explicit dynamics/fast transient), such as shock/impact and transient mechanical effects, including cases related to fragmentation/detonation.

Define and record assumptions: load cases, boundary conditions, materials, and acceptance criteria.

Prepare model and mesh, verify quality and consistency of results.

Issue formal technical reports with objective conclusions and design improvement recommendations. Work collaboratively with Product Engineering/Designers and support correlation with tests when necessary. Maintain organization and version control of models and analysis evidence.

Requirements: 

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Materials, Aerospace, Naval, Mechatronics or related fields).
• Full-level FEA experience in an industrial context.
• Solid foundation in solid mechanics and strength of materials; knowledge of structural dynamics.
• Ability to document and communicate results formally and objectively.

Desirable Skills: 

• Experience with explicit dynamics and simulation of short events (shock/impact, fast transients).
• Experience with tools such as Abaqus, ANSYS/LS-DYNA, Nastran (or equivalents).
• Familiarity with CAD (SolidWorks/Inventor/Fusion) and pre/post-processors.
• Technical English.
