Finite Element (FE) Analyst

• Conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate the structural and thermal performance of components and systems.
• Develop and implement FEA models using appropriate software tools. Preferably ANSYS
• Collaborate with design engineers to optimize product designs for performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
• Analyse and interpret simulation results, providing recommendations for design improvements.
• Validate FEA models through correlation with physical testing and field data.
• Stay abreast of industry trends, advancements, and best practices in FEM analysis.
• Generate clear and concise technical reports and documentation of analysis results.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of FEM analysis into the design process.
• Provide technical support and guidance to junior analysts as needed.

Experience Required:

• Proven experience in conducting FEA using relevant software (e.g., Abaqus, ANSYS, Nastran).
• Strong understanding of structural mechanics, heat transfer, and material science principles.
• Proficiency in interpreting and validating FEA results against experimental data.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Effective communication skills to convey complex technical concepts to non-experts.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
• Familiarity with industry standards and regulations related to structural analysis.

Preferred Skills:

• Linear and Nonlinear Analysis: Support for both linear and nonlinear analyses.
• Static and Dynamic Analysis: Capabilities for static, dynamic, and transient analysis, steady state thermal analysis
• Material Models: A range of material models for different materials and behaviours.
• Contact Analysis: Ability to simulate contact and interaction between components.
• Knowledge of scripting languages (Ansys APDL, Python, MATLAB) for automation and customization.
• Familiarity with CAD software for geometry preparation.
