As a Simulation Engineer, you will
Execute simulation-driven product development through advanced FEA/multi-physics methodologies, model validation, automation, and optimization techniques, enabling improved product performance, reduced physical testing, and accelerated time-to-market.
Execute development & implementation of simulation models to aid design of HVACR systems, sub-systems, components using industry leading simulation tools.
Develop, execute, and interpret high-fidelity FEA simulations of compressor components and assemblies. Provide data-driven recommendations to Product Engineering regarding design performance, Strength behavior, manufacturability, reliability, and cost-reduction opportunities.
Execute activities to verify and validate (V&V) simulation models. This will require partnering with global subject matter experts, creating test plans, and/or leveraging available test data by working with other engineering teams.
Effectively communicate project status to various stakeholders in the organization by preparing presentation of results.
Required Education, Experience, & Skills
Master’s degree in Mechanical/Aerospace/Civil Engineering or closely related field, plus a minimum of 2 years relevant experience.
Hands-on experience applying 1D and 3D simulation tools within a Simulation-Driven Product Development environment.
Proven track record of applying fundamental engineering principles and creative thinking to drive timely engineering decisions.
Act as the technical support for structural simulation activities, including static, dynamic, fatigue, vibration, thermal-stress, contact, nonlinear and vibro-acoustic analyses of compressor and HVACR components.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex simulation results into actionable engineering decisions.
Effective communication skills. Exceptional interpersonal skills and ability to develop collaborative partnerships on a global basis.
Preferred Experience & Skills
Hands-on experience using model-based engineering concepts, principles, and theories to aid creation of simulation models or processes.
Experience using commercial and/or open-source FEA software such as Simcenter 3D, ANSYS Mechanical, GT-suite or equivalent.
Strong expertise in FEA preprocessing, mesh generation, mesh quality assessment, and mesh independence studies for complex components and assemblies.
Knowledge of best practices and procedures for structural analysis.
Strong understanding of engineering physics, solid mechanical, linear/transient dynamics, multi-physics simulations, numerical methods, and verification & validation (V&V) methodologies.
Experience developing simulation automation, data processing, and workflow integration tools using Python and/or other programming languages (C/C++, MATLAB, PyAnsys etc.).
Experience with rotating machinery, compressors, pumps, fans, or turbomachinery applications.
Experience in CFD & multi-physics would be added advantage.
Experience with optimization tools, Design of Experiments (DOE), and digital engineering & AL assisted workflow development.
