• Correlate simulation with test results, assess risks, and propose optimized or innovative modeling approaches.(required)

• Communicate analysis outcomes through clear technical reports and participate in design reviews.(required)

• Coordinate externally performed simulation work: define clear requirements, challenge assumptions, review deliverables, and ensure relevance and robustness. (required)

• Translate internal technical needs (core team members) into structured simulation specifications for external partners.

• Create 3D models supporting FEA and other simulation studies using SolidWorks. (required)

• Support functional dimensioning in line with ISO GPS / ISO 8015 in technical drawings, and tolerance analyses.(plus)

• Understand and Integrate DFM/DFA considerations, especially for molded parts and formed components.(plus)

• Provide engineering support for existing products, design changes, investigations, and technology transfers.

• Contribute to root cause analysis using test results, simulation, and statistical tools.
