Job description

Job Title : FEA Meshing Engineer (4–6 Years Experience)

Location : Houston, TX

Term : Contract / Fulltime (both will work)

Department : Engineering / CAE / Simulation

Reports To : Lead FEA Engineer / Simulation Manager

Job Summary

We are seeking a FEA Meshing Engineer with 4–6 years of hands-on experience in pre-processing, meshing, and setup of finite element models for complex structural systems. The candidate will work on marine and o􀆯shore vessel structures, performing model preparation, mesh generation, and simulation setup using commericial CAE tools. The role requires strong fundamentals in mechanics, machine design, and an ability to translate real-world engineering problems into accurate simulation models.

Education & Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) in Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or related disciplines.
  • Exposure to the Finite Element Method (through coursework, research, or practical experience) preferred but not mandatory.
  • Proficiency in English (oral and written) with the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences.

Experience

  • 4–6 years of experience in FEA pre-processing and meshing for structural components.
  • Experience with complex geometries, geometric cleanup, mid-surfacing, contact definition, and load / boundary condition setup.
  • Familiarity with metal, sheet metal, plastic, and rubber materials and corresponding FEA material models.
  • Experience in structural, fatigue, vibration, and buckling analyses is a plus.
  • Prior experience in marine or o􀆯shore vessel structures (support vessels, tugs, pushers, barges) preferred.
  • Key Responsibilities :

    Model Preparation & Meshing

  • Handle complex CAD data from SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor, CATIA, or NX — including cleanup, defeaturing, and assembly management.
  • Generate high-quality finite element meshes (1D, 2D, and 3D) for structural and thermal analyses.
  • Perform mid-surface extraction and shell / solid meshing for diverse component types.
  • Ensure mesh quality compliance (aspect ratio, skewness, connectivity) and solver compatibility.
  • Model Setup & Pre-Processing

  • Define materials, thicknesses, and connections (bolts, welds, adhesives).
  • Apply loads, constraints, and boundary conditions to replicate physical behavior.
  • Debug and validate models to ensure convergence and solver readiness. Simulation Support & Collaboration
  • Work with analysis engineers to set up and execute FEA simulations using commercial solvers (Abaqus, ANSYS, Nastran, etc.).
  • Post-process simulation results and support engineers in interpreting FEA outputs.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Design, Testing, Manufacturing) to integrate simulation insights into product development.
  • Document meshing processes, model standards, and best practices. Process Improvement & Automation
  • Develop and use Python / TCL scripts to automate repetitive meshing and model setup tasks.
  • Support continuous improvement in CAE workflows, templates, and automation.
  • Participate in methodology development for diverse structural domains (marine, mechanical, industrial).
  • Core Competencies

  • Strong fundamentals in Machine Design, Engineering Mechanics, and Strength of Materials.
  • Deep understanding of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) principles and continuum mechanics.
  • Proficiency in meshing tools : Altair HyperMesh, ANSA, ANSYS Meshing, or Patran or Nastran, LS-PrePost
  • Exposure with FEA types : Static, Modal, Dynamic (Transient, Harmonic, Random), Buckling, and Hydro-dynamic analyses.
  • Familiarity with global design standards related to structural and o􀆯shore applications.
  • Good understanding of structural reliability concepts is a plus.
  • Soft Skills

  • Excellent communication and documentation skills (oral and written).
  • Team-oriented with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • Strong visualization and interpretation skills for drawings and technical data.
  • Quick learner with adaptability to new tools, methods, and project needs.
  • Commitment to first-time quality and on-time delivery of projects.
  • Create a job alert for this search
