What is a Remote Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineer?

A Remote Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineer is a professional who uses computer-aided engineering software to simulate and analyze physical phenomena, such as stress, heat transfer, or fluid dynamics, from a remote location. These engineers help companies optimize their designs by predicting how products will respond to real-world forces and conditions. Working remotely, they communicate results and collaborate with design teams virtually, often using specialized software and cloud-based tools. This role allows for flexibility in location while still contributing critical expertise to engineering projects.

What are some common challenges faced when working remotely as a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) engineer, and how can they be overcome?

Remote FEA engineers often face challenges such as access to high-performance computing resources, ensuring secure data sharing, and maintaining effective communication with design and engineering teams. To overcome these, it's important to leverage cloud-based simulation platforms, use secure file transfer protocols, and establish regular check-ins or video meetings to stay aligned with project goals. Many organizations also provide VPN access and dedicated IT support to facilitate remote work and collaboration on complex simulation projects.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Finite Element Analysis Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Finite Element Analysis Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical or structural engineering, with expertise in numerical methods and a degree in engineering or a related field. Proficiency in FEA software such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or SolidWorks Simulation, and familiarity with CAD tools and scripting languages like Python or MATLAB are typically required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills distinguish top performers in this role. These skills and qualities are crucial for delivering accurate simulations, solving complex engineering problems, and collaborating efficiently in a remote work environment.

What is the difference between Remote Finite Element Analysis vs Remote Structural Analysis Engineer?

AspectRemote Finite Element AnalysisRemote Structural Analysis Engineer
CredentialsEngineering degree, certifications in FEA softwareEngineering degree, structural analysis certifications
Work EnvironmentRemote, software-focused, simulation-basedRemote, field and design-focused, analysis-based
Industry UsageAutomotive, aerospace, manufacturingConstruction, civil engineering, infrastructure

Remote Finite Element Analysis specialists focus on computer-based simulations to predict material and component behavior, often working in software environments. Remote Structural Analysis Engineers also perform analysis but may involve more practical assessments of structures. Both roles require engineering credentials and are commonly remote, but they serve different industry needs and project types.

Job description

Senior Structural Analyst – Contract

Location: Bellevue, WA (Remote Available) Type: Contract

Overview

System One is seeking a Senior Structural Analyst to support advanced nuclear reactor development programs focused on next-generation energy technologies. This role is responsible for performing structural and finite element analysis (FEA) of reactor structures, vessels, nuclear island components, and high-temperature mechanical systems operating in demanding environments.

The ideal candidate will bring strong experience in structural mechanics, pressure vessel codes, seismic analysis, and finite element modeling using ANSYS and related engineering tools. This is an excellent opportunity to work within a highly collaborative engineering environment supporting cutting-edge nuclear technology development.

Responsibilities

  • Perform structural and mechanical analyses of reactor systems, vessels, enclosures, and related nuclear components
  • Verify component performance against applicable engineering codes and standards including ASME, ASCE, and AISC requirements
  • Support interdisciplinary engineering teams to optimize component and structural designs
  • Develop and maintain engineering analysis documentation and technical reports
  • Perform peer reviews and support engineering quality assurance processes
  • Serve as a technical point of contact for assigned engineering tasks and analysis activities
  • Mentor junior engineers and support development of technical team capabilities
  • Assist engineering leadership with technical evaluations and project execution support

Qualifications

  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline
  • 8+ years of related experience with B.S., 5+ years with M.S., or 3+ years with Ph.D.
  • Strong proficiency with finite element analysis (FEA) and mechanical analysis methods
  • Advanced experience using ANSYS and SolidWorks
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Structural mechanics
    • Fracture mechanics
    • Fatigue analysis
    • Thermal and buckling analysis
    • Creep-fatigue/inelastic analysis
  • Experience with pressure vessel and piping codes including:
    • ASME BPVC Section III and VIII
    • B31.1 / B31.3
  • Experience performing seismic analysis using response spectrum and time history methods preferred
  • Familiarity with ASCE 4, ASCE 43, AISC, and AWS design standards preferred
  • Experience working within quality assurance programs such as NQA-1, ISO-9000, or similar regulated environments
  • Experience utilizing Mathcad for engineering calculations preferred
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to work collaboratively across engineering teams

Preferred Qualifications

  • Nuclear industry experience
  • Experience with high-temperature reactor component analysis
  • ANSYS Workbench and/or APDL expertise
  • Python or engineering programming experience
  • Experience supporting safety-related or code-qualified equipment designs

Additional Requirements

  • Ability to work in a hybrid or remote environment with occasional travel as needed
  • Ability to sit and work at a computer for extended periods
  • Occasional travel up to 5%
