Position Overview

Siemens is seeking to recruit a highly qualified and motivated finite

element analysis (FEA) engineer to join its Development Support team.

In particular, the engineer will demonstrate experiences using finite

element methods to model electromagnetic systems. This position will

report to the Senior Manager, Development Support.

Development Support provide high level support that helps ensure the

transfer of technical knowledge and expertise between Product

Development and the rest of the company.

Development Support engineers are required to work closely with

software developers as new versions of STAR-CCM+ are developed to help

software features and their functionalities. In addition, verifying

new features behave as their designs intend.

Development Support engineers liaise with teams worldwide to provide

advanced technical solutions that help ensure end user issues are

answered and fixed in a prompt manner and software products are used

correctly, to their maximum potential.

Responsibilities

The FEA engineer will have a high-level understanding of finite element

analysis for computer aided engineering and simulation. The FEA

engineer will demonstrate experiences using finite element analysis to

model real-world engineering applications. In particular, emphasis is

given to electromagnetics for e-mobility applications and electric

machines. Application areas also include, but are not limited to,

solid mechanics for structural analyses, and viscoelastic/non-Newtonian

fluid flows for chemical processing. Additionally, the FEA engineer
