  • Ability to evaluate complicated numerical simulation results against first principles such as strength of materials solutions 

  • Ability to calibrate modeling and results with existing empirical data 

  • Perform mechanical testing and measurement

  • Devise lab scale tests to validate analyses

  • Seek mechanical solutions at the intersection of manufacturing limitations, required reliability and customer expectations

  • Ansys Classic/Mechanical experience is preferred. Equivalent tool is OK
