Key Roles and Responsibilities:

• Perform various types of FEA analysis, including:
  

  • Linear/non-linear static, quasi-static, and dynamic analysis
    

  • Normal modes, frequency response, and random response analysis
    

  • Optimization studies using physics-based and data-driven methods
    

  
  

• Independently determine boundary conditions for large, complex non-linear models under implicit and explicit environments
  

• Generate 2D shell and 3D tetra meshes on intricate geometries meeting stringent quality criteria
  

• Debug solution sequences and update models for convergence
  

• Develop internal FEA methods and specifications to align with customer requirements
  

• Provide technical feedback to customers and/or engineers on FEA outputs, design, and optimization results
  

• Conduct correlation studies between FEA and test data, identify discrepancies, perform root cause analysis, and update models
  

• Conduct fatigue and thermal mechanical analyses
  

• Generate material curves from raw stress-strain data
  

• Edit input decks (.inp, .bdf, .rad, .fem)
