Full Job Description
Job Description:
Simulation & Analysis Engineer II - Structural Analysis
The Simulation & Analysis Engineer II - Structural Analysis will use their significant design and analysis background to analyze static and dynamic load cases on power tool components and assemblies - offering fast, reliable recommendations for revisions to increase robustness and optimize weight, size, and cost. The ideal candidate will be extremely strong in mechanical design with a passion for linear and non-linear Finite Element Analysis.
You'll also be DISRUPTIVE through these duties and responsibilities:
Directly support New Product Development and Advanced Engineering projects with Finite Element Analysis of components and assemblies, with a focus on stress/strain evaluations
Conduct linear and non-linear finite element analyses
Conduct dynamic, modal, drop and deflection analyses
Conduct fatigue analysis and durability calculations
Correlate FEA models to physical durability testing, including drop tests, vibration tests, and strain gauge measurements.
Consult with teams on loading and boundary conditions
Consult with teams and technicians on strain gauge placement
Estimate or verify loading conditions based on failure analysis
Recommend geometry or material changes for design robustness as well as weight, size, and cost optimizations
Execute analysis on competitive parts and products
Be highly agile - use highly effective communication skills to quickly understand the depth of work required and provide trade-offs of accuracy versus time to complete analysis. Articulate and prioritize time constraints where needed
Will receive analysis requests from a variety of team members - must be strong in prioritization, timing, and scope discussions at kickoff and efficiently document findings and recommendations at closure
Mentor, train, and share knowledge to increase overall FEA capabilities of the department
What TOOLS you'll bring with you:
Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master's preferred)
5+ years of mechanical design & Finite Element Analysis experience
Proficient with linear & nonlinear FEA, dynamic analysis, and fatigue analysis
Extensive experience with Ansys & LS-Dyna
Working knowledge of other analysis types such as CFD, NVH, gear and transmission analysis, and analysis of rotational components
Proficient in CAD - NX, Solidworks, or similar
Proficient in quantifying loading and correlating failures modes to FEA simulation
Strong root cause and failure analysis aptitude
Ability to quickly grasp component and assembly functionality, determine load cases and constraints, and execute varied complexity levels of analysis depending on criticality and timing to New Product Development team members
Highly motivated self-driver with never satisfied, always improving attitude
We provide these great perks and benefits:
Robust health, dental and vision insurance plans.
Generous 401 (K) savings plan.
Education assistance.
On-site wellness, fitness center, food, and coffee service.
