Lead Quality Engineer

Preferred Tools

Nastran/Marc/ Abaqus/Ansys pre/post tools such as HyperMesh/ANSA/Patran

What You Will Work On

• Design high-value validation strategies for advanced nonlinear simulation capabilities, including contact, large deformation, material nonlinearity, nonlinear dynamics, and coupled thermal-mechanical workflows.
• Translate demanding industrial applications such as elastomer sealing, composite damage/failure, and complex contact simulation into practical, high-fidelity benchmark models.
• Validate solver behavior using a mix of analytical checks, simplified hand calculations, comparison with trusted references.
• Build and automate test cases for Nastran and Marc so that complex physics can be validated repeatedly, efficiently, and with clear quality metrics.
• Work closely with developers, product teams, and QA engineers to identify gaps, isolate issues, improve testability, and support reliable software releases.
• Prepare clear validation reports, technical notes, and evidence-based recommendations that help improve product quality and customer confidence.

Core Technical Strengths We Are Looking For

• Deep understanding of nonlinear finite element analysis, including geometric, material, and contact nonlinearities.
• Strong foundation in continuum mechanics, numerical methods, finite element formulation, and interpretation of nonlinear solver behavior.
• Hands-on exposure to advanced constitutive modeling such as hyper-elasticity, viscoelasticity, rate-dependent plasticity, shape memory alloys, or progressive damage/failure in composites, buckling.
• Practical experience with meshing, model idealization, boundary conditions, convergence behavior, and post-processing of nonlinear simulation results.
• Ability to connect theory with engineering judgment: simplify a complex problem, validate the essentials, and explain results clearly.

What Makes a Candidate Stand Out

• A record of technical publications, conference presentations, benchmark studies, or research-to-application work in CAE/FEA.
• Evidence of solving difficult nonlinear simulation convergence, modeling, or validation problems.
• Experience with Python Scripting and AI skills.
• Clear communication style: able to explain assumptions, limitations, results, and risks to both technical and product teams.
