A Snapshot of Your Day

As a Structural Simulation Engineer, you will be responsible for structural analysis and simulation of high-voltage switchgear and related mechanical components. You will work closely with R&D, testing, and cross-functional teams to support product development, design optimization, seismic qualification, and technical problem-solving through advanced simulation methodologies.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Conduct seismic analysis, including modal, response spectrum, and time-history analysis, to support product seismic design and qualification
• Perform static, transient, and strength simulations for high-voltage switchgear and mechanical components.
• Prepare, review, and validate simulation reports, providing technical recommendations and design optimization proposals based on simulation results.
• Participate in design reviews, development projects, and product validation tests; continuously improve simulation methods through simulation-to-test correlation.
• Support troubleshooting and technical investigations by providing simulation expertise for product development and operational projects.
• Collaborate with global and cross-functional teams to ensure effective communication and project execution.
• Contribute to the continuous development and standardization of simulation methodologies and engineering best practices.

What You Bring

• Master's degree or above in Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Solid foundation in mechanics and mechanical engineering, including material mechanics, theoretical mechanics, structural dynamics, and transient mechanics
• Strong understanding of finite element theory and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical engineering challenges.
• Proficient in Creo and ANSYS Workbench for 3D modeling and finite element analysis.
• Experience in seismic simulation, such as modal analysis, response spectrum analysis, and time-history analysis, is highly preferred.
• Experience in structural testing, vibration testing, and simulation-test correlation is preferred.
• Familiarity with seismic standards and requirements for electrical equipment, such as IEC 62271-300 and IEEE 693, is considered a strong advantage.
• English: Pre-Intermediate level (A2+) or above, capable of basic technical communication.
