What is an FEA job?

An FEA (Finite Element Analysis) job involves using computational techniques to simulate and analyze how structures, components, or materials respond to real-world conditions like stress, heat, and vibration. FEA engineers use specialized software to create models, run simulations, and interpret results to improve designs and ensure safety and performance. This role is common in industries like aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, where structural integrity is critical. Strong skills in engineering, mathematics, and software tools like ANSYS or Abaqus are typically required.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Fea position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a FEA (Finite Element Analysis) Engineer, you need a strong background in mechanical or structural engineering, proficiency in finite element modeling, and a solid understanding of materials science and mechanics. Expertise in technical tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or similar simulation software, and sometimes certification in these tools, is commonly required. Analytical thinking, problem-solving ability, and clear communication are vital soft skills for interpreting results and collaborating with cross-functional teams. These competencies are crucial to delivering accurate simulations and effective engineering solutions in design and analysis projects.

What are some common challenges faced by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineers in their daily work?

FEA Engineers often face challenges such as validating simulation models, ensuring that their analyses accurately replicate real-world behavior, and managing complex geometries or material properties within tight project deadlines. Balancing simulation accuracy with computational efficiency can also be demanding, especially when dealing with large models or limited company resources. Additionally, FEA Engineers frequently collaborate with design, manufacturing, and testing teams, which requires them to translate technical simulation results into actionable engineering recommendations. Staying current with evolving simulation software and industry standards is also essential for long-term success in this role.

Job description

Design machines that shape the aluminum world

Do you turn SolidWorks models into real machines? Can you read FEA outputs and make fast, confident design decisions? Have you led designs for extrusion presses, billet loaders, and complex handling systems? If so, Dunaway wants you as the go-to engineer who reports directly to our President/Owner.

Your impact
  • Architect and model complete extrusion presses and material handling systems in 3D.
  • Deconstruct legacy equipment to repair, enhance, and modernize performance.
  • Collaborate with field services to troubleshoot and restore uptime.
  • Plan and manage the relocation and installation of presses, lines, and billet heaters.
  • Contribute to proposals by assisting with scope and cost estimates.
  • Travel 10%–15%, varying with workload, for on-site assessments and installs.
Must-haves
  • 10+ years in industrial machine/equipment design.
  • Track record scheduling jobs through a shop to keep machinists and assemblers fully engaged.
  • Manufacturing drawings expertise (2D) using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
  • Hydraulics know-how for new designs and field troubleshooting.
  • Applied FEA experience with mainstream analysis tools.
  • Working knowledge of industrial electrical systems and components.
Nice-to-haves
  • Direct experience in aluminum extrusion (design and troubleshooting).
  • SolidWorks plus CAM workflow experience.
  • 3+ years focused on aluminum extrusion presses and related equipment: billet loaders, stems, containers, tie rods, etc.
  • BS in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering.
Your toolkit & strengths
  • Project management; hands-on machine building/assembly oversight.
  • CAD mastery and strong mechanical design & engineering acumen.
  • Product development experience; pneumatics troubleshooting capability.
  • FEA literacy and practical application.
Technologies you’ll use
  • 3D modeling and 2D detailing.
  • Industrial controls and extrusion machinery.
  • AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CAM software.
  • Allen‑Bradley PLCs.
Why Dunaway

For 40+ years, we’ve delivered turnkey extrusion solutions—from container relines and equipment upgrades to full system installations and plant redesigns. Our in-house CNC shop holds 0.0005" tolerances, enabling best-in-class press components. We back our builds with engineering, consulting, installations, and field service. Our footprint spans the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Reporting & rewards

You’ll be the primary engineering contact for the company, reporting to the President/Owner. Compensation is based on experience.
