Simulation Analysis Engineer

About the role

The Simulation Analysis Engineer is responsible for performing engineering simulation and structural analysis to evaluate product performance under real-world conditions including structural loading, vibration, thermal effects, pressure, fatigue, and impact forces. This role supports product development, design optimization, testing, and validation efforts through the use of analytical modeling and simulation tools. The SA Engineer works closely with engineering, product development, manufacturing, and testing teams to improve product reliability, reduce design risk, and support the successful development of engineered solutions.

Responsibilities

• Develop and refine 3D simulation models from CAD geometry
• Perform structural, thermal, dynamic, fatigue, and nonlinear analysis as required
• Define engineering loads, material properties, and boundary conditions for simulation studies
• Evaluate stress, deflection, stability, vibration, and failure modes
• Interpret simulation results and identify design risks or performance limitations
• Recommend design improvements to enhance strength, durability, manufacturability, and performance
• Support prototype development and validation testing activities
• Correlate simulation analysis results with physical test data and field performance
• Absorb engineering troubleshooting and failure investigations
• Support product development projects from concept through production
• Prepare technical reports, engineering documentation, and analysis summaries
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, manufacturing, quality, and product management
• Support code compliance and product qualification activities where applicable

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Structural Engineering, Materials Engineering, or related engineering discipline
• Experience performing finite element analysis and engineering simulations
• Strong understanding of mechanics of materials, structural behavior, and engineering fundamentals
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and technical requirements
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment
• 5 plus years of engineering experience is required

Preferred Experience

• Experience supporting product development and prototype testing
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes and design-for-manufacturing principles
• Experience evaluating products for structural performance and reliability
• Knowledge of applicable engineering codes, standards, and testing methodologies
