JOB RESPONSABILITIES AND TASKS

• • Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for structural components using tools like ANSYS Workbench, including linear, non-linear, static, dynamic, thermal, and fatigue analyses.
  • Develop detailed Finite Element Models based on CAD data and technical specifications, ensuring accuracy in boundary conditions, material properties, and mesh quality.
  • Collaborate with design and product development teams to provide simulation-driven design feedback, optimize geometry, and enhance product performance and reliability.
  • Generate comprehensive technical reports and presentations summarizing calculation methods, assumptions, results, and design recommendations for both internal stakeholders and external customers.
  • Conduct hand calculations to validate FEA results and support preliminary design studies using classical mechanical engineering methods (beam theory, stress/strain equations, etc.).
  • Perform modal and vibration analysis of rotating and stationary components; experience with MADYN or equivalent tools is a plus.
  • Support root cause analysis and failure investigations through simulation and calculation to identify corrective actions and design improvements.
  •  Continuously improve analysis processes by identifying automation opportunities, developing macros/scripts, and integrating advanced simulation methodologies & DoE etc.
  • Participate in design reviews and provide proactive input based on analysis to influence early-stage design decisions.
  • Maintain documentation of calculations, analysis assumptions, and validation procedures to support traceability and audits.
