Simulation Engineer – FEA (DRDO)

We are seeking a passionate and technically proficient Simulation Engineer – Structure to join our Engineering Solutions team. This role is ideal for individuals with a strong background in FEA and a hands-on approach to solving real-world mechanical problems using Ansys Mechanical and related simulation tools.

As part of our pre- and post-sales support function, you will work closely with customers to understand their requirements, provide technical solutions, and contribute to the success of simulation-driven engineering across multiple industries.

Provide expert-level support for Ansys Mechanical, including linear and nonlinear static, dynamic, and thermal analyses, Rigid Body dynamics.

Pre and Post processing including Geoemetry clean-up, Meshing, Boundary condition and results.

Troubleshoot and guide customers on issues related to model setup, meshing, convergence, and result interpretation.

Support custom workflows involving material modelling, contact behaviour, and sub-modelling.

Develop and validate FEA models to solve engineering challenges across industries.

Apply knowledge of other solvers such as Abaqus or Nastran if needed.

M.Tech/MS in Applied Mechanics, Machine Design, or related mechanical disciplines preferred.

B.Tech/B.E. with minimum 2 years of hands-on FEA experience will also be considered.

Hands-on experience with Ansys Mechanical (Workbench).

Solid understanding of FEA theory: contacts, meshing, material modelling, and large deformation analysis.

Familiarity with APDL, Abaqus, Nastran, or other solvers is a plus.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Ability to work directly with customers and explain complex topics in simple terms.

Team-oriented with a consultative approach to technical problem-solving.

Strength and Durability analysis

Experience with automation, parametric optimization, or simulation data processing.

Exposure to CAD tools and integration (SpaceClaim, SolidWorks, Creo, etc.).

Understanding of HPC usage in simulation.
