What is an Ansys FEA?

An Ansys FEA job involves using Ansys software to perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on mechanical structures, components, or systems. Engineers in this role simulate physical behaviors like stress, heat transfer, and vibrations to ensure product reliability and performance. They create models, run simulations, analyze results, and optimize designs based on findings. This role is crucial in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, where precision and safety are critical. Strong knowledge of engineering principles, materials, and computational methods is essential for success in this field.

What does an Ansys FEA engineer do?

A typical day for an Ansys FEA Engineer involves setting up simulation models, running analyses, interpreting results, and collaborating with design and engineering teams to validate or optimize product designs. You may participate in project meetings to discuss requirements or present findings, troubleshoot modeling issues, and refine simulations based on feedback or test data. The role often requires balancing multiple projects simultaneously and documenting results clearly for stakeholders. This dynamic environment allows you to apply technical expertise while working closely with cross-functional teams and contributing directly to product development.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Ansys FEA position?

To thrive as an Ansys FEA (Finite Element Analysis) Engineer, a solid background in mechanical or structural engineering and a deep understanding of FEA principles are essential, often requiring a relevant bachelor's or master's degree. Proficiency in Ansys software, CAD programs, and familiarity with material properties and simulation techniques are highly valued, and certifications in Ansys or advanced simulation can be advantageous. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, effective communication, and problem-solving skills help engineers translate complex technical data into actionable insights. These skills enable accurate modeling, efficient teamwork, and the delivery of reliable simulation results that drive informed engineering decisions.

Job description

Remote - USA Only (48 Contiguous States) Travel: ~10% annually

We're looking for a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Analyst to support advanced engineering simulations and mechanical design work for complex machinery, heavy equipment, and highcapacity structures. Your work directly impacts product performance, safety, and innovation across our customers' engineering programs.

You'll analyze and improve the structural mechanics of mechanical systems, lead design efforts, and contribute to cuttingedge engineering initiatives across multiple industries.

This is a remote role supporting customers nationwide, with occasional travel to fabrication shops, test sites, or field locations.

Requirements

What You'll Do
  • Perform FEA simulations (linear, nonlinear, contact, buckling, fatigue, largedeflection) using ANSYS or similar tools
  • Analyze and validate crane structures, lifting beams, rigging components, and heavy mechanical systems
  • Develop 3D models, detailed drawings, and engineering documentation in SolidWorks, Inventor, or Creo
  • Conduct hand calculations to verify FEA results and support design decisions
  • Lead mechanical design from concept through prototype, testing, and field implementation
  • Support customers with rapid engineering assessments and problemsolving
  • Generate engineering reports, test plans, and work packs for fabrication and field execution
  • Collaborate with crossfunctional teams, fabricators, and field technicians
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to design reviews and process improvements
MustHave Qualifications
  • BSME 10+ years or MSME with 5+ years of hands-on, demonstrated FEA experience with the analysis of major components of heavy equipment that could be mobile or stationary equipment
  • 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience in cranes, lifting systems, or heavy mechanical equipment
  • Advanced FEA experience (ANSYS strongly preferred)
  • Strong background in structural mechanics, weldments, heavy steel structures, and loadbearing systems
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks, Inventor, or Pro/E/Creo
  • Demonstrated ability to produce welldocumented calculations, FEA reports, and design packages
  • U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder
  • Ability to travel up to ~10%
Preferred Experience
  • Designing cranes, hoists, lifting beams, gantries, or highcapacity structures
  • Experience with hydraulic or mechanical powertrain systems
  • Familiarity with offshore, industrial, or construction lifting environments
  • Knowledge of ASME B30, API, DNV, ABS or similar standards
  • Handson exposure to fabrication, testing, or field commissioning
Work Environment
  • Fully remote (48 contiguous USA only)
  • Occasional travel to customer sites, fabrication shops, or test facilities
  • Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams and field personnel

Benefits

We value our team's well-being and offer a robust benefits package to support your professional and personal growth:

  • Competitive Compensation:ย An attractive base salary, commensurate with experience.
  • Generous Time Off:ย Paid holidays, PTO, and flexible time off to recharge and maintain work-life balance.
