Turn Simulation Into Race-Winning Performance


Do you enjoy solving complex engineering problems before a prototype is ever built? Are you passionate about motorsports, vehicle performance, and using advanced simulation tools to influence real-world engineering decisions?


We're partnering with a world-class high-performance automotive engineering company that develops cutting-edge performance vehicles and racing technologies. As an FEA Simulation Engineer, you'll work alongside talented design, testing, and engineering teams to analyze, validate, and optimize next-generation automotive systems using advanced finite element analysis.


If you're looking for a role where your simulations directly impact vehicle performance, durability, and innovation, we'd love to hear from you.


What You'll Do:

As an FEA Simulation Engineer, you'll play a key role in helping engineers make smarter design decisions through advanced analysis and simulation.


You'll:

  • Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on automotive components and systems
  • Build, execute, and monitor simulation models using industry-leading CAE tools
  • Analyze results and provide clear engineering recommendations
  • Work closely with design, testing, and product development teams to optimize performance
  • Correlate simulation models with physical test and instrumentation data
  • Develop scripts, macros, and automation tools to improve simulation efficiency
  • Present technical findings during engineering design reviews
  • Support continuous improvement of simulation methods and engineering workflows


What We're Looking For:


Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related engineering discipline
  • 2 - 4 years of experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), CAE, simulation engineering, or product development
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Structural mechanics
  • Statics and dynamics
  • Material behavior
  • Engineering fundamentals
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills


Preferred Experience:


You'll stand out if you have experience with:

  • Abaqus FEA
  • CATIA
  • Python, MATLAB, Java, or other engineering programming languages
  • Automotive, motorsports, aerospace, or high-performance vehicle development
  • Internal combustion, hybrid, or electric vehicle powertrains
  • Design of Experiments (DOE)
  • Optimization techniques
  • Control systems
  • Correlating simulation models with physical testing


Why You'll Love This Opportunity:

  • Work on high-performance automotive and motorsports programs
  • Influence engineering decisions from concept through production
  • Collaborate with talented engineers across design, testing, and development
  • Solve technically challenging problems using advanced CAE tools
  • Expand your expertise in simulation, vehicle engineering, and performance optimization
  • Join a collaborative engineering culture where innovation is encouraged
