Technical Specialist

Role: Technical Specialist

Location: Coimbatore

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform linear and nonlinear static structural simulations using Ansys Mechanical for Mechanical systems
• Conduct Modal Analysis to determine natural frequencies and mode shapes for critical components.
• Execute Vibration Resistance Analysis (harmonic, random, and response spectrum)
• Carry out Fatigue Life Estimation using stress-life / strain-life approaches for components under cyclic loading.
• Perform Shock analysis to assess component survivability under abrupt dynamic loading conditions.
• Develop and execute Multibody Dynamics (MBD) simulations to model motion and contact interactions between moving components like actuators and linkages.
• Define and apply appropriate material models, boundary conditions, loads, and mesh strategies based on component service conditions (fluid pressure, thermal, mechanical).
• Interface with design, materials, and test teams to correlate simulation results with physical test data.
• Document all simulations in formal engineering reports and support design review presentations.
• Coordinate with Stake holders to obtain approval from approving authorities / Agencies
• Stay up to date with industry standards (API, ASME, ISO) relevant to component design and performance validation.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's/Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or related field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in FEA for mechanical components, preferably in Valves, powertrain, or heavy equipment industries.
• Proven expertise in Ansys Workbench (Mechanical, Implicit/ Explicit Dynamics, Fluent/CFX).
• Strong grasp of failure theories, fatigue mechanics, vibration, and fluid dynamics.
• Hands-on experience with complex assemblies, contact modelling, and convergence management.
• Ability to interpret and correlate FEA results with experimental validation.
• Good technical documentation and communication skills.

Preferred Competencies:

• Understanding of component design and applications (defence)
• Familiarity with Multiphysics simulations (e.g., fluid-structure interaction, thermal-fluid coupling).
• Interpret FEA/CFD results to recommend design changes for improving performance, durability, or manufacturability.
• Programming/scripting knowledge (Python) for simulation automation.
• Familiarity with design tools like Creo for CAD integration into Ansys.
