Techtronic Industries North America, Inc. Principal Simulation & Analysis Engineers – FEA in Brookfield, Wisconsin
Principal Simulation & Analysis Engineer
Job Description:
Principal Simulation & Analysis Engineers – FEA
Job duties:
Directly support New Product Development (NPD) and Advanced Engineering projects with Finite Element Analysis of components and assemblies, with a focus on stress/strain evaluations.
Guide the development and use of other complex models, tools and algorithms related to stress/strain evaluations to support NPD projects and Advanced Development activities.
Mentor, train, and share FEA knowledge to increase the department’s overall capabilities.
Model operational environments, perform trade studies via ANSYS, and provide decision support for alternative architectures.
Consult with teams on loading and boundary conditions and verify through failure analysis.
Recommend geometry or material changes for design robustness as well as weight, size, and cost optimizations.
Conduct linear and non-linear static analysis, modal analysis, frequency response, deflection analysis, and dynamic analysis (e.g. drop test analysis).
Conduct fatigue analysis and durability calculations.
Validate simulation results with theory and/or test data.
Regularly articulate complex simulations and their results in an easy-to-understand format with teammates, senior management, and executives.
Execute analysis on competitive parts and products.
Use highly effective communication skills to quickly understand the depth of work required and provide trade-offs of accuracy versus time to complete analysis; articulate and prioritize time constraints where needed.
Receive analysis requests from a variety of customers– must be strong in prioritization, timing, and scope discussions.
Grow organizational capability through knowledge sharing and collaboration with own and other departments across business units as required.
Collaborate with Design Engineers on Finite Element Analysis methods/techniques to ensure proper setup and interpretation results.
Job Requirements:
Bachelor’s or equivalent degree in Modeling & Simulation, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related engineering field and 7 years of relevant design experience and Finite Element Analysis or a Master’s or equivalent degree in Modeling & Simulation, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or related engineering field and 4 years of relevant design experience and Finite Element Analysis. Experience must include:
3D CAD experience such as Solidworks or NX
Ansys, LSDYNA, Abaqus and Abaqus Explicit FEA software
Hypermesh and Optistruct software
Mechanical principles such as kinematics, structural materials and standard machine and mechanism components
Linear and Non-linear material modeling and evaluation of different load-based failure modes (yield, ultimate, and fatigue)
Engineering materials, mechanical properties, and the manufacturing processes associated with these materials
Root cause and failure analysis
Nonlinear FEA and fatigue analysis of on-road or off-road machine components
Ability to travel up to 10% domestically and internationally.
