What does a finite element modeler do?

A professional in Finite Element Modeling often works on projects involving the analysis and simulation of structures, components, or systems under various physical conditions. This can include stress analysis for mechanical parts, thermal simulations, vibration assessments, and optimizing designs for performance and safety. Daily tasks might involve creating detailed models, setting up boundary conditions, running simulations, and interpreting the results to inform engineering decisions. Collaboration with design engineers, project managers, and manufacturing teams is also common to ensure models align with real-world requirements, making the work both technically challenging and highly impactful.

What is finite element modeling?

A Finite Element Modeling (FEM) job involves using numerical methods to simulate and analyze physical systems under various conditions. Professionals in this field create and refine models to predict structural behavior, thermal performance, fluid dynamics, and other physical phenomena. They work with specialized software like ANSYS, Abaqus, or COMSOL to ensure designs meet performance and safety standards. This role is crucial in industries like aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, and biomedical applications. Strong analytical skills, proficiency in FEM software, and a solid understanding of materials and physics are essential for success in this job.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in finite element modeling?

To excel in Finite Element Modeling, a solid background in engineering, applied mathematics, and physics is essential, typically supplemented by a degree in mechanical, civil, or aerospace engineering. Familiarity with specialized simulation software such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or COMSOL, and relevant certifications in these tools, is highly valuable. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are key soft skills for this role. These capabilities enable accurate simulation, clear reporting, and productive collaboration across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

San Antonio, TX

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Retirement, PTO

Re-posted 16 days ago

Job description

The mission at Baker Engineering and Risk Consultants, Inc. (BakerRisk) is to manage hazards and risks through high-value services, products, and research. The BakerRisk Protective Structures Section completes this mission through the evaluation and design of structures exposed to extreme loading conditions such as blast, thermal, and high-velocity impacts. We design buildings to protect people in potentially hazardous working environments, design manufacturing bays to contain the effects of accidental explosions, and collaborate with government agencies to design spaces to protect occupants from potential hostile threats. Our design and evaluation approaches continue to be validated and expanded through research, testing, and the investigation of catastrophic events such as explosions, fires, and toxic material releases. BakerRisk operates two test facilities, the Wilfred E. Baker Test Facility and Box Canyon Test Facility, where both scale and full-scale testing of building structures can be completed. BakerRisk has a collaborative work environment where coordination with other technical disciplines at BakerRisk, Process Safety and Blast Effects, is encouraged to develop a solution to manage hazards and risks.

An immediate full-time position is available for an entry-level Blast Resistant Structural Engineer in our San Antonio or Houston, Texas office. Successful candidates require a BS in Civil/Structural Engineering (MS preferred).

Duties and Responsibilities

Successful candidates require a BS in Civil/Structural Engineering (MS preferred). Education must include the analysis and design of structures (steel, concrete, and masonry) using simplified and advanced methods. Candidate should also be experienced (0 to 5 years) or demonstrate a strong interest in one or more of the following areas: structural design of buildings, structural dynamics due to impulsive loads, structural evaluation of existing buildings, forensics engineering, structural analysis software, and/or finite element analysis.

Candidate must be able to perform specific tasks as assigned by project managers of limited scope. Typical tasks will require knowledge of structural engineering principles. Advanced techniques will require knowledge/learning of nonlinear design of construction materials including steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, wood, etc.

Tasks assigned will include nonlinear blast response analysis, detailed structural design and design concept development, preparation of design specifications, research/accident investigation support, structural drawing development and review, and reviewing numerical calculations.

Education

Master’s Degree or above with a focus in structural engineering. A Bachelor’s degree may be acceptable with prior work experience as a structural engineer. Work ethic and office professionalism consistent with BakerRisk's high technical standards is a must.

Required Skills

  • Previous background in structural engineering, including experience with developing Structural Drawing packages (plans, elevations, details)
  • Willingness to travel 25%-30% of the time.
  • Must possess excellent communication and writing skills.

Desired Skills

  • Familiarity with commercial structural analysis software such as SAP 2000 or finite element modeling such as LS DYNA
  • Familiarity with Revit

BakerRisk offers a competitive salary and benefit package including holiday, vacation and sick leave pay, medical/dental insurance, 401(k), Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), and the potential for a year-end bonus.
