    • Use of pre-processors such as Hypermesh, ANSYS Mechanical, Abaqus/CAE, etc. to prepare geometry and construct finite element meshes
    • Use of Python scripting for automating pre-/post-processing of finite element models and for analysis workflow efficiency
    • Performing model verification and validation (V&V) activities such as mesh convergence studies, comparison to hand-calculation and comparison to experimental tests
    • Use of Linux-based high-performance computing (HPC) clusters to solve large finite element models

    To be considered for the senior roles, we would like you to be able to demonstrate experience of:

    • Conducting research and development of new and novel techniques in the field of engineering simulation
    • Providing technical leadership and leading outreach initiatives with academia and industrial partners
