What is an engineer Ansys HFSS?

An Engineer Ansys HFSS is a professional who specializes in using the Ansys HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) software to design, simulate, and analyze high-frequency electronic components such as antennas, RF/microwave circuits, and electromagnetic devices. They use HFSS to model electromagnetic fields and predict the performance of complex structures, ensuring that designs meet required specifications before physical prototypes are constructed. These engineers often work in industries like telecommunications, aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics, where accurate electromagnetic simulation is critical for product development.

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

To excel as an Engineer specializing in Ansys HFSS, you need a strong background in electromagnetic theory, RF/microwave engineering, and a relevant engineering degree. Expertise with Ansys HFSS simulation software, CAD tools, and familiarity with scripting languages or automation is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you interpret simulation results and collaborate with design teams. These skills are critical to accurately designing and optimizing high-frequency components for reliable, innovative electronic products.

What are some common challenges faced by an engineer working with Ansys HFSS, and how can they be overcome?

Engineers using Ansys HFSS often encounter challenges such as optimizing simulation accuracy while managing long computation times, especially for complex 3D electromagnetic models. Balancing mesh refinement and simulation speed is key, as is ensuring model setup aligns with real-world constraints. Collaborating closely with design and hardware teams helps in validating simulation results, and staying updated with the latest HFSS features can improve workflow efficiency. Leveraging available user forums and official documentation can also assist in troubleshooting and adopting best practices.

Key responsibilities

  • Provide ongoing technical support to customers using Ansys HFSS and related high-frequency simulation tools.

  • Train and mentor customers and prospects on software applications and use cases through in-person and virtual meetings.

  • Assist in developing and delivering technical content such as demonstrations, workflows, and success criteria to support sales activities.


Job description

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.)

This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Therefore, for applicants who are not asylees, refugees, lawful permanent residents or U.S. Citizens (i.e., not a protected individual under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), otherwise known as a U.S. Person), final offers will be contingent on the ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government.
