Mechanical Engineer

Job Title : Mechanical Engineer

Location : Remote

Duration : Long Term Contract

Job summary

We're looking for a hands-on Mechanical Engineer with strong experience in ANSYS and CAD who can lead simulation, modelling, and structural analysis tasks across product development cycles. The ideal candidate translates product requirements into validated FEA models, performs structural / thermal / dynamic simulations, and delivers actionable recommendations to design teams.

Key responsibilities

• Develop, run and interpret finite element analyses (FEA) using ANSYS (Mechanical / APDL or Workbench) for static, dynamic, thermal and nonlinear problems.
• Create, clean up and simplify CAD geometry for analysis; build robust meshes (tet / hex / structured) and apply appropriate element types and contact definitions.
• Perform modal, harmonic, transient dynamic, buckling, fatigue and thermal-stress simulations as required.
• Validate models against test data and refine simulation approaches; identify root causes and propose design modifications.
• Work closely with design / Manufacturing / Systems teams to integrate simulation findings into product designs and DFx reviews.
• Prepare clear technical reports, design change requests, and presentation-ready summaries for stakeholders.
• Automate routine simulation tasks and post-processing using scripting (ANSYS APDL, Python, or similar).
• Support tolerance studies, sensitivity analyses, and design optimization (DOE, topology / parametric studies).
• Mentor junior engineers on best practices for CAD preparation, meshing, boundary conditions and result interpretation.
• Maintain simulation documentation, templates, and libraries (materials, load cases, meshing recipes).
