  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills with teams and customers, including managing client expectations
  • Advanced skills in meshing, including mesh manipulation and adaptive/dynamic mesh techniques
  • Experience in workflow automation, parametric CAD, and coupling with other software/code for co-simulation and optimization
  • Additional experience in other numerical methods (e.g., Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Electromagnetics), with interest in data science or machine learning
  • Expertise in model correlation and real-world validation
  • Ideally advanced Python and Java coding skills
  • Right to work in the US (no visa sponsorship)

Responsibilities

  • Set up and build complex multi-physics models to simulate and understand complex real-world phenomena
  • Automate simulation pipelines to enable fast optimization and parametric CAD coupling
  • Use on-premise HPC and cloud resources to accelerate high-fidelity models beyond smart model setup and meshing choices
  • Own the delivery of technical work streams, potentially mentoring more junior colleagues
  • Work at the intersection of CAE and data science, generating highly accurate results and predictions with advanced machine learning and deep learning models
  • Work closely with data scientists, machine learning engineers, and clients to develop understanding of physics and engineering challenges
  • Continuously apply and improve engineering best practices and standards, coaching colleagues in their adoption
