Key Responsibilities

FEA Analysis : Perform complex linear and non-linear structural, thermal, modal, and vibration analyses

Structural Analysis : Perform linear/non-linear static, modal, and fatigue analyses on rotating and static hardware
Thermal Analysis : Conduct steady-state and transient thermal simulations to evaluate thermal stress and gradients.
Vibration & Dynamics : Analyze natural frequencies, Campbell diagrams, and forced response for HCF/LCF risk assessment
Understand the physics of the problem & offer simplified FEM solution

Correlate analytical models with physical test data
Support the full product lifecycle from conceptual design through validation and field issue resolution.
Create detailed technical reports and presentations to document analysis results, assumptions, and recommendations for stakeholders and certification bodies
Contribute to the standardization and automation of FEA workflows to improve efficiency and accuracy.
Cross-functional collaboration
Clear technical communication for engineering and leadership audiences
Attention to detail in high-consequence, safety-critical applications
Maintain first-time quality metrics and deliver consistent project excellence.
