Job Summary:

We are looking for an experienced Lead FEA Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience in ANSYS Workbench and strong expertise in Finite Element Analysis, structural simulation, and engineering design validation. The ideal candidate will lead simulation activities, provide technical guidance to the team, and work closely with design and engineering teams to deliver robust solutions.

Key Responsibilities

· Lead and execute FEA simulations using ANSYS Workbench for structural and mechanical applications.

· Perform linear and nonlinear static, dynamic, modal, thermal, buckling, and fatigue analyses.

· Develop high-quality FEA models, meshing strategies, boundary conditions, and load cases.

· Interpret simulation results and provide engineering recommendations for design optimization.

· Perform stress, strain, deformation, safety factor, and fatigue assessments.

· Correlate simulation results with hand calculations, test data, and physical validation.

· Identify potential design failures and recommend appropriate corrective actions.

· Work closely with CAD/design, product development, and testing teams.

· Review and validate simulation methodologies, assumptions, and results prepared by team members.

· Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior and mid-level FEA engineers.

· Prepare and review detailed simulation reports and technical documentation.

· Support design reviews, root-cause investigations, and product improvement initiatives.

· Ensure simulation activities comply with applicable engineering standards and project requirements.

Required Skills

· 8+ years of experience in FEA/CAE, preferably in mechanical or product engineering.

· Strong hands-on expertise in ANSYS Workbench.

· Excellent knowledge of FEA fundamentals, mechanics, material behaviour, and structural analysis.

· Experience with meshing, contacts, nonlinearities, convergence, and model validation.

· Strong understanding of linear/nonlinear structural, modal, thermal, buckling, and fatigue analysis.

· Experience in interpreting and presenting complex simulation results.

· Good knowledge of engineering materials, failure theories, and design principles.

· Experience working with 3D CAD models and preparing them for simulation.

· Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

· Excellent communication and technical leadership skills.

Preferred Skills

· Experience with ANSYS Mechanical/APDL is an added advantage.

· Knowledge of CFD, explicit dynamics, or multiphysics analysis is a plus.

· Experience with automation/scripting using Python, MATLAB, or APDL is desirable.

· Experience in design optimization and Design for FEA (DFEA).

· Experience leading FEA projects or mentoring simulation teams.

Education

· Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
