FEA Engineer
Job Description
Key Responsibilities
• Understand and define the engineering problem, project scope, objectives and expected deliverables in coordination with global engineering counterparts.
• Develop an appropriate engineering analysis/simulation approach for assigned projects, seeking guidance for complex or unfamiliar problems as required.
• Independently execute assigned FEA and engineering analysis projects supporting Product Development, Submittal, Sustaining Engineering and field failure investigations.
• Interpret and critically evaluate simulation results, identify potential structural or vibration-related concerns, and provide sound engineering recommendations.
• Perform appropriate hand calculations and engineering assessments to support design decisions and validate/interrogate simulation results.
• Support product design optimization, troubleshooting and resolution of engineering issues, including field failure investigations and vibration-related problems.
• Prepare and communicate engineering calculations, FEA reports and technical deliverables to meet project requirements and applicable engineering standards.
• Coordinate with global and cross-functional teams to discuss analysis requirements, communicate findings, incorporate feedback and complete assigned engineering deliverables.
• Willing to travel to local/global sites for short- to long-duration assignments based on business needs.
Must have
• Strong understanding of Mechanical Engineering fundamentals, structural mechanics and FEA principles.
• Hands-on experience with ANSYS Mechanical / Workbench or equivalent FEA software.
• Good working knowledge of static structural analysis, including appropriate material properties, boundary conditions, contacts and loading conditions.
• Understanding of material and contact nonlinearities and their appropriate application in FEA.
• Good understanding of vibration fundamentals and structural dynamics.
• Ability to perform engineering hand calculations and critically evaluate FEA results using sound engineering judgment.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with global and cross-functional teams.
Good to have
• Experience with pumps, rotating equipment or other mechanical equipment and vibration-related engineering problems.
• Experience with field failure investigation, troubleshooting and root-cause analysis using FEA and engineering calculations.
• Knowledge of engineering standards such as ASME, API, Hydraulic Institute or equivalent.
• Experience with Creo/NX or other 3D CAD software.
Qualifications
• Full Time M.Tech. / M.E. in Machine Design, Mechanical Engineering or CAD/CAM.
• 2–3 years of relevant hands-on FEA / structural simulation experience in a product development or engineering environment.
