Structural FEA Engineer (ANSYS)

Key Responsibilities

• Support structural FEA projects using ANSYS Workbench (Mechanical), Design Modeler/SpaceClaim and Meshing as per customer requirements.
• Perform structural stress, deformation, fatigue and durability analysis of fuel system components such as fuel pumps, injectors and rails.
• Perform both component- and assembly-level analysis, considering appropriate loads, boundary conditions, contacts and operating conditions.
• Perform linear and non-linear analysis, including contact and material non-linearities.
• Perform dynamic analysis, including modal, transient/impact and thermal analysis as required.
• Obtain and thoroughly review analysis inputs and understand the component/system requirements and operating environment.
• Perform first-principles/engineering calculations and sanity checks to validate FEA results; develop Excel-based calculators when required.
• Interpret analysis results and provide appropriate design recommendations, considering manufacturing, assembly and cost aspects.
• Understand and apply fatigue and durability principles in structural assessments.
• Resolve analysis and convergence-related issues.
• Prepare clear and concise technical documentation and reports, and present/discuss analysis results with global customers and stakeholders across India, US, China and Sweden.
• Maintain regular customer communication, understand requirements and deliver customer-focused solutions.
• Continuously develop technical and professional skills.
