Product Design FEA Engineer

A globally leading technology company is looking for a Product Design FEA Engineer to use understanding of mechanics, materials, and numerical methods to play a key role in predictive engineering and directly impact the success of new products. The engineer will drive the structural design of new products using predictive system-level finite element simulation. This includes participating in building and running system-level models for important design load cases and interacting closely with cross-functional design teams to iterate and improve designs. We invite qualified candidates to apply!

Responsibilities:

Setting up and running simple to complex system FEA simulations.
Post-processing large amounts of simulations.
Summarizing and presenting FEA simulation results to Product Design Engineers.
Providing recommendations for design improvements and iterating on the design quickly & collaboratively.

Minimum Qualifications:

Experience in Abaqus, implicit and explicit finite element analysis (FEA).
Strong knowledge of solid mechanics.
Excellent cross-functional collaboration and written and verbal communication skills.
Desire to work in a fast-paced environment with passion for creating cutting edge products.
MS in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, or similar discipline required along with 3+ years of relevant experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with ANSA and META.
Experience with system level modeling and simulation.
Experience in IC packaging, board level solder joint reliability, shock & thermal cycling.
Experience with the mechanical behavior of materials and constitutive modeling.
PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Material Science, or similar discipline.

Type: Contract
Duration: 4 months (with possibility to extend up to 18 months)
Work Location: Cupertino, CA (Hybrid)
Pay range: $ 97.00 - $ 112.00 (DOE)
