Role Overview
We are looking for a customer-focused ANSYS FEA Application Engineer with strong finite element analysis fundamentals and hands-on experience in ANSYS Mechanical. The role involves executing structural simulations, delivering customer training, providing technical support, conducting product demonstrations and carrying out proof-of-concept studies.
Key Responsibilities
Perform linear and nonlinear structural analyses using ANSYS Mechanical.
Conduct static, modal, harmonic, transient, buckling, thermal and thermo-mechanical analyses.
Prepare simulation models, including geometry cleanup, meshing, material definition, boundary conditions and solver setup.
Interpret and validate simulation results and prepare technical reports.
Deliver classroom, online and onsite ANSYS training for customers.
Conduct product demonstrations and execute customer proof-of-concept studies.
Present simulation methodology, results and recommendations to customers.
Troubleshoot modelling, meshing, convergence, solver and post-processing issues.
Support customers during software evaluation, implementation and adoption.
Assist the sales team with technical qualification, proposals and presales activities.
Develop application examples, case studies and reusable demonstration models.
Collaborate with CFD, electromagnetic and other application teams on multiphysics opportunities.
Required Skills
Strong knowledge of FEA fundamentals, engineering mechanics, strength of materials, heat transfer and vibration.
Hands-on experience with Ansys Mechanical/ Ansys Workbench.
Experience in meshing, contact modelling, material modelling and convergence troubleshooting.
Ability to independently execute simulation and proof-of-concept assignments.
Strong technical-report writing, communication and presentation skills.
Confidence in delivering customer demonstrations and training.
The candidate should be willing to travel for customer meetings, onsite training and project delivery.
Preferred Skills
Familiarity with Ansys Workbench, APDL, Python scripting or simulation automation.
Knowledge of fatigue, fracture, composites, explicit dynamics, rotordynamics or topology optimization.
Any hand's on experience with any of the tools (ANSYS LS-DYNA, ACP, nCode DesignLife, Motion, Discovery or optiSLang) will be an advnatage.
Exposure to automotive, aerospace and defence, energy, manufacturing, oil and gas or heavy-engineering applications.
Qualification
Ph.D or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Automotive, Civil or a related engineering discipline. ANSYS certifications or specialised FEA training will be an advantage.
