You develop and optimize structural components and assemblies for industrial machines by applying advanced simulation methods to evaluate function, structural integrity and fatigue life.

Your tasks

Lead structural simulation activities in early development phases using FEM, CFD and system simulation
Collaborate with design engineers and international, multidisciplinary project teams on technical concepts
Validate simulation results, perform plausibility checks, and translate findings into engineering recommendations
Support customer-specific solutions, root-cause analyses and damage consequence analyses
Ensure compliance with applicable international regulations, standards and internal quality requirements
Develop simulation methods, tools, processes and internal standards, with reproducible documentation

What you bring

Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical discipline
At least five years of professional experience in mechanical engineering
At least three years of hands-on experience with simulation technologies, particularly finite element methods
Profound knowledge of structural mechanics, manufacturing technologies and simulation methods
Experience with 3D CAD systems
Fluent English required; German considered an advantage
