Senior FEA Engineer

Overview

In this role you apply advanced finite element analysis to drive the design, validation, and optimization of structural and mechanical assemblies for sustainable marine transportation. You will work within a multidisciplinary engineering team to deliver robust simulations that inform concept development, testing, and certification. You’ll translate complex requirements into analytical models and communicate findings to project teams, contributing to design reviews and continuous improvement. This position offers the chance to shape cutting‑edge maritime technology in a regulated, technically demanding environment.

Responsibilities

• Perform linear and nonlinear FEA on structural and mechanical assemblies
• Develop models to evaluate strength, stiffness, fatigue, vibration, and buckling
• Support concept development with detailed engineering analysis and optimization
• Interpret and present analysis results to engineering and project teams
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, test, and systems engineers
• Validate simulations using physical test data and measurement techniques
• Contribute to design reviews and technical decision-making
• Produce technical reports and engineering documentation
• Support certification and compliance activities where applicable
• Drive method, process, and tool improvements in analysis

Key requirements

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Naval Architecture or related discipline (ideally)
• Proven FEA experience in highly regulated or demanding industries
• Strong knowledge of structural mechanics and material behavior
• Experience with FEA software (ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran, HyperWorks or equivalent)
• Ability to translate complex requirements into analytical models
• Experience assessing static, dynamic, fatigue and buckling performance
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to work independently and in a team
• Desirable: experience with composites, CFD, validation against test data, understanding of standards/certification frameworks
• Desirable: experience supporting prototype development and product introductions

• communication
• stakeholder management
• team collaboration
• FEA software (ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran, HyperWorks)
• linear and nonlinear analysis
• fatigue and buckling assessment
