Job description

On-site 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.

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
  • On-site at our Little Canada, MN offices
  • 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:
