What is an Ansys engineer?

An Ansys Engineer specializes in using Ansys software to perform simulations, analyses, and optimizations of engineering designs. They work with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools to test product performance, durability, and efficiency. Their role involves interpreting simulation results, troubleshooting design issues, and collaborating with engineers to improve product development. Ansys Engineers are commonly found in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and manufacturing, where precise modeling and testing are crucial.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Ansys engineer?

To thrive as an Ansys Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical or electrical engineering, proficiency in finite element analysis (FEA), and a strong grasp of physics and mathematics, typically supported by a relevant degree. Expertise in Ansys simulation software, experience with CAD tools, and certifications in FEA or simulation methodologies are highly valued. Attention to detail, analytical problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills help Ansys Engineers deliver precise results and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These competencies are crucial for accurate modeling, efficient project completion, and fostering innovation in product development environments.

What are some typical challenges Ansys engineers face in their daily work?

Ansys Engineers often encounter complex simulation scenarios that require a deep understanding of material properties, boundary conditions, and real-world application limitations. Translating physical requirements into accurate digital models and interpreting simulation data to provide actionable recommendations can be demanding. Collaboration with design, manufacturing, and quality assurance teams is common, meaning strong communication skills and a willingness to iterate are essential. Overcoming tight deadlines and ensuring simulations align with evolving project goals are also frequent challenges, but these experiences are valuable for professional growth and learning.

Job description

ABOUT FIREFLY AEROSPACE
Firefly Aerospace is a space and defense technology company on a mission to reliably and repeatedly launch, land, and operate space systems from Earth to the Moon and beyond. As the partner of choice for critical space missions, Firefly is the first commercial company to launch a satellite to orbit with 24-hour notice and the first company to achieve a successful Moon landing. Headquartered in north Austin, Texas, Firefly is looking for passionate, hardworking innovators to join our team and help fuel our successful trajectory into space.
SUMMARY
Firefly Thermal Engineers apply world-class simulation skills and expert knowledge of heat transfer to solve complex cross-discipline problems encountered during launch vehicle and spacecraft design, development, and operations. Intense thermal radiation, aero heating, cryogenics, and vacuum culminate in a complex thermal problem with a wide array of solutions. Thermal engineers will deconstruct these complex issues to ensure Firefly vehicles meet customer requirements and conform to external safety standards, while reducing margin and driving future evolution of the vehicle thermal systems.
RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Determines effective analytical approaches for executing vehicle-level trade studies
  • Owns vehicle level spacecraft thermal models
  • Creates sub-models for key thermal events to capture effects of engine & plume radiation, Lunar regolith modeling, and other phenomena
  • Develops thermal control solutions involving Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI), Radiator Covers, and other TCS technologies while assessing impacts to mission cost, schedule, risk
  • Coordinates thermal environments and vehicle design with customers (NASA, ESA, commercial, etc.)
  • Responsible for updating and correlating models based on thermal test data
  • Documents analysis and test for review by responsible engineers, peers, and customers

QUALIFICATIONS
Required
  • B.S. degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, or related field
  • 3+ years experience with Thermal Desktop and other industry analytical simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, NASTRAN, COMSOL, SIMCENTER3D)
  • Ability to effectively work in a multi-discipline team and provide technical reports
  • Strong first principles grasp of heat transfer mechanisms
  • Familiar with spacecraft thermal control methods, hardware, technologies
  • Working knowledge of Python, MATLAB, MS Excel
  • Experience with thermal testing equipment and procedures
  • Strong design and integration skills using 3D CAD software
  • Demonstrated ability to address multi-tiered analytical problems and effectively communicate results

Desired
  • Advanced degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering
  • 5+ years of experience in thermal analysis of aircraft or space vehicles during all phases of conceptual design through flight
  • Experience with ANSYS SpaceClaim, NX 3D Modeling, NX Space Systems Thermal
  • Experience developing physical tests to correlate and validate analysis
  • Experience creating MLI Layups, heater circuit design, active thermal control mechanisms, advanced spacecraft TCS technologies
  • Demonstrated experience with Thermal Desktop or ANSYS
  • Exposure to analysis or research planning at a program level, understanding where analysis fits into the greater development roadmap
  • Familiarity with GSFC-STD-7001B, SMC-S-016, RCC-319, Spacecraft Payload requirements
  • Understanding of advanced thermal-related phenomena such as combustion, diffuse thermal radiation, spectroscopy
