Ansys Jobs in Phoenix, AZ (NOW HIRING)

Description

PADT is seeking an engineer with a strong background in computational electromagnetics and high-frequency simulation to support customers using Ansys HFSS and related tools. This role is not focused on physical antenna fabrication or test-lab execution. Instead, it centers on solving advanced EM problems through simulation, modeling, and analysis, and guiding customers in developing accurate, efficient, and multiphysics-aware workflows.

You will collaborate with designers, researchers, and product development teams across industries such as wireless, aerospace, automotive, medical, and communications-helping them understand EM behavior, optimize product designs, and integrate simulation-driven decisions into their development process. Essential duties and responsibilities include the following:  

Essential Functions: 

• Providing on-going technical support to PADT customers working with Ansys HFSS and related high-frequency simulation tools
• Training and mentoring, from existing or custom-written material, customers and prospects on software applications or use cases
• Conducting in-person and virtual meetings with customers
• Assisting in the development and generation of formal sales proposals to ensure technical accuracy
• Coordinate and assist the software sales team in the delivery of technical content such as demonstrations, workflow definitions, defining success criteria, and estimating value/ROI of software
• Maintaining customer relationships in the form of updating presentations, periodic meetings, or account reviews with existing stakeholders
• Providing expert advice on areas of expertise to customers and colleagues
• Developing technical marketing material for ANSYS including tutorials, blog postings, and videos
• Other duties as assigned  

Requirements

• Master of Science, higher Degree in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience
• Strong understanding of: 
•      High-frequency electromagnetic theory
•      Antenna theory (conceptual + simulation focused, not fabrication)
•      Wave propagation, transmission lines, EM boundary conditions, materials
• Awareness of simulation connectivity to other physics/design aspects (e.g. thermal, reliability, NVH, optical effects)
• Minimum of 2 Years of experience using Ansys HFSS for antenna applications
• Ability to work effectively in both independent and diverse team environments
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to develop practical engineering solutions for difficult problems
• Exceptional customer service aptitude, as well as communication and presentation skills
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools to include PowerPoint, Word, and Excel
• Available for occasional travel (about 30%) 

Preferred:

• 3.0 GPA or higher - MS or PhD degree involving high frequency simulation a plus
• Experience in antenna design with Ansys tools including HFSS and Optimetrics or other competitors
• Experience in antenna testing is beneficial
• Experience with transmission theory, EMI/EMC concerns, board level SI or PI analysis
• Prior experience in physical testing/validation/manufacturing a plus
• Prior training/teaching experience is a plus
• Experience with non-Ansys high frequency electromagnetics tools is beneficial
• Familiarity with common programming languages (C, C++, Python, etc.)
