Fluent verbal and written English.
At least 8 years of related finite element analysis experience, including at least 3 years in industrial valves.
Experience in a matrix organization with skip-level reporting.
Experience working with remote/global teams.

Responsibilities

Perform finite element analysis on valve components and assemblies with the Global Engineering team and technical leads, and provide design and development recommendations to reduce component and assembly weight.
Lead problems identified during the design phase and provide solutions using simulation.
Define and implement simulation strategies, including design exploration, design of experiments, sensitivity studies, optimization, and regression-based analyses.
Conduct linear and nonlinear structural analyses, including static stress, transient structural and thermal, low- and high-cycle fatigue and life assessment, thermal stress, contact and sealing, and wear analyses.
Evaluate valve performance under high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive conditions.
Perform fluid-structure interaction or support computational fluid dynamics–finite element analysis coupling for flow-induced stresses and vibrations.
Use APDL and Ansys ACT.
Use artificial intelligence to automate repetitive simulation tasks.
Recommend improvements to structural integrity, sealing performance, manufacturability, and cost efficiency.
Support product development from concept through validation.
Ensure designs comply with applicable industry standards, including ASME, API, ISO, and PED requirements.
Conduct pressure-boundary qualification analyses and assess safety factors.
Correlate simulation results with experimental data, including pressure, burst, and fatigue tests.
Support root-cause analysis of field failures and non-conformances.
Develop and maintain simulation validation methodologies.
Own project delivery, schedule, resources, and customer expectations.
Develop capabilities as needed during project execution.
Apply advanced material modeling, including hyperelasticity, viscoplasticity, plasticity, cyclic plasticity, and other applicable nonlinear constitutive material models.
