Product Design FEA Engineer

As the cornerstone between material science and mechanical engineering, you will design experiments to characterize materials, advance mathematical descriptions and simulation workflows, and validate them at various scales to deploy to the company-wide FEA community. Be a communication channel with suppliers and vendors to explore new technologies and simulation methods. You will be fully integrated with the product design team from the earliest stages to support ground-breaking products. Interpret the system-level FEA results and compare them with highly instrumented tests to close identified gaps through the bottom-up approach.
