Responsibilities

Model thermal conditions during manufacturing processes such as sintering, heat treatment, and casting.
Create representative models for various manufacturing processes including fluid dynamics, mechanical behavior, heat transfer, and electromagnetic phenomena.
Use models combined with process data to support process improvement and optimization.
Build and refine simulations using ANSYS (Mechanical, Maxwell, ROCKY, Fluent), COMSOL Multiphysics, or equivalent commercial simulation platforms.
Collaborate with process, materials, and data engineers to integrate simulation outputs into process development and optimization workflows.
Design simulation studies to evaluate process sensitivities, identify failure modes, and guide experimental campaigns.
Document modeling assumptions, boundary conditions, validation results, and recommendations in a structured manner consistent with quality system requirements.
Support development of custom scripts and automation tools (Python, MATLAB, or similar) for pre/post-processing of simulation data.
Responsibilities and tasks outlined are not exhaustive and may change as determined by the needs of the business.

Qualifications

B.S. or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related field.
Demonstrated experience building and validating process models using ANSYS (e.g., Mechanical, Maxwell, ROCKY, Fluent), COMSOL Multiphysics, or equivalent commercial simulation software.
Strong working knowledge of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), heat transfer modeling, and mechanical stress/strain analysis.
Proficiency with scripting languages (Python, MATLAB, or similar) for simulation setup, data extraction, and post-processing.
Ability to work independently, manage multiple concurrent modeling efforts, and communicate results clearly to cross-functional teams.
Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.
