Your CharterDevelop and own the simulation capabilities that guide critical engineering decisions across NEO's development. Your work will provide the insight needed to optimize performance, validate designs, reduce risk, and improve reliability across actuators, structures, electronics, and system-level architectures.
As a Simulation Engineer, you'll help transform complex physical systems into predictive engineering models that enable faster development and better products.
Key Outcomes- Deliver validated thermal, structural, and multi-body dynamics models that accurately predict real-world system performance
- Improve simulation fidelity through rigorous test correlation and continuous model refinement
- Enable faster and more informed engineering decisions through design studies, tradeoff analyses, and sensitivity investigations
- Develop scalable simulation workflows, automation tools, and best practices that increase engineering efficiency across teams
- Support major product milestones by identifying design risks early and providing actionable recommendations backed by simulation data
Key Competencies- Deep understanding of physics-based modeling, including thermal, structural, and dynamic systems
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate ambiguous engineering challenges into robust simulation frameworks
- Experience validating models against real-world test data and improving predictive accuracy
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly
- Ownership mentality with a bias toward execution, continuous improvement, and engineering rigor
Minimum Requirements- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of professional experience in thermal, structural, dynamics, or multiphysics simulation
- Proficiency with industry-standard simulation tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, MSC Adams, or equivalent
- Strong understanding of heat transfer, structural mechanics, materials, and system dynamics
- Experience developing and validating simulation models using experimental test data
Preferred Skills- Experience modeling robotic, electromechanical, or actuator-driven systems
- Experience performing fatigue, vibration, durability, or reliability analyses
- Proficiency with Python, MATLAB, or similar scripting languages for workflow automation and post-processing
- Experience building simulation infrastructure, templates, or engineering best practices
- Familiarity with manufacturing processes and design-for-production considerations
What does a successful 1X Team Member look like?Team members at 1X who thrive here are builders. They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it's the one thing you can't get back - because it is. They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask. We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.
