Stress Engineer

Job Description

Perform high-quality mesh generation for structural analysis using Hypermesh and Patran . Develop and refine GFEM and DFEM models for various components and assemblies, ensuring mesh quality and compliance with CAE standards. Prepare models for static, dynamic, and thermal FEA simulations. Interpret and apply engineering drawings and CAD data to build accurate finite element models. Ensure mesh quality and convergence to meet analysis requirements. Ensure adherence to customer-specific FEM guidelines and industry best practices. Collaborate closely with design, simulation, and test teams to validate and iterate FE models. Document meshing processes, model assumptions, and preprocessing methodologies. Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to meshing and model setup. Familiarity with optimization techniques for FE modeling. Required Skills & Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related engineering field. 3 to 7 years of relevant CAE experience , with a focus on meshing and preprocessing. Strong command of Hypermesh and Patran for shell and solid meshing. Hands-on experience in GFEM and DFEM meshing techniques and standards. Solid understanding of FEA fundamentals, material properties, and boundary conditions. Familiarity with CAD software (e.g., CATIA, NX) for model extraction and cleanup. Excellent problem-solving and communication skills. Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet tight deadlines. Proactive attitude towards continuous improvement and learning. Preferred: Exposure to solver environments like OPTISTRUCT , NASTRAN , ABAQUS for FE model set-up Experience with scripting or automation (e.g., TCL, Python) in preprocessing. Knowledge of aerospace or automotive domain-specific CAE workflows.
