About the role
Description: We are seeking skilled and detail-oriented Abaqus FEA (Finite Element Analysis) Modelers to join our engineering team onsite in Cupertino CA. The ideal candidate will be responsible for all pre-processing steps, including geometry clean-up, material definitions, and meshing techniques, as well as occasionally running and interpreting FEA simulations using Abaqus software to support various engineering projects. This role requires in-depth knowledge of finite element modeling, expert skills in FEA model and meshing techniques, and experience with NX CAD software for geometry preparation. Working-level skills in other preprocessors including ANSA and Hypermesh are a strong plus.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop detailed finite element models using Abaqus CAE software to simulate mechanical, structural, and thermal performance
- Pre-process and post-process complex simulations, ensuring accurate model setup, meshing, and analysis
- Apply expert techniques and best practices for building high-quality mesh models, including manual methods and scripting for element grouping and keywords
- Develop material models using material testing data
- Troubleshoot and resolve modeling issues, refining models to improve convergence and computational efficiency
Mandatory Skills:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in finite element modeling using Abaqus CAE
- Expert-level knowledge of model preparation, meshing, material models, boundary conditions, and load applications
- Experience with NX CAD software for importing and exporting model geometries
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with keen attention to detail
- Excellent communication skills for reporting and collaborating with team members
- Valid US work visa, with no export compliance restrictions
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with ANSA and Hypermesh
- Background in mechanical design or structural analysis
- Scripting experience (Python or similar) to automate tasks in Abaqus
- Experience modeling composite materials or advanced material properties
- Experience in battery technology?
