What is a senior simulation engineer?

Senior Simulation Engineers are experienced professionals who design, develop, and analyze complex simulations to model real-world systems and processes. They use advanced software tools and mathematical models to predict performance, identify potential issues, and optimize designs in fields such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and energy. Their work helps organizations make informed decisions and improve product reliability and efficiency. Senior Simulation Engineers often lead teams, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with cross-functional groups to ensure the effective implementation of simulation solutions.

What are the typical collaboration points between a senior simulation engineer and other engineering teams?

As a Senior Simulation Engineer, you will frequently collaborate with cross-functional teams such as design, development, and testing to ensure simulation models accurately reflect real-world conditions. This often involves attending design reviews, sharing simulation results, and providing feedback to optimize product performance. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as your insights directly influence design decisions and help troubleshoot issues early in the development cycle. Regular meetings and shared documentation platforms are commonly used to keep everyone aligned and informed.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a senior simulation engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Senior Simulation Engineer, you need a strong background in engineering principles, mathematics, and physics, typically with a relevant bachelor's or master's degree. Proficiency in simulation software such as MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, or similar tools, along with experience in programming languages like Python or C++, is essential. Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and interpreting complex data. These competencies ensure accurate modeling, effective project delivery, and innovation in designing and optimizing engineering systems.

What is the difference between Senior Simulation Engineer vs Simulation Engineer?

AspectSenior Simulation EngineerSimulation Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Engineering, experience in simulation softwareBachelor's in Engineering or related field, basic simulation skills
Work EnvironmentDesign teams, R&D departments, engineering firmsDevelopment teams, testing labs, manufacturing companies
Employer & Industry UsageAutomotive, aerospace, electronics, manufacturingSimilar industries, often entry to mid-level roles

The main difference between a Senior Simulation Engineer and a Simulation Engineer lies in experience and responsibility. Senior roles typically require more advanced skills, leadership, and project oversight, whereas Simulation Engineers focus on executing simulation tasks under supervision. Both roles are vital in industries like automotive and aerospace, but senior positions involve strategic planning and mentorship.

Job description


Who We're Looking For

We are seeking a skilled Electromagnetic Simulation Expert with a strong focus on high-frequency electromagnetics applications in the semiconductor domain including chip and advanced package design, signal and power integrity, high-speed interconnects, and EMI/EMC. Experience with adjacent applications such as antenna design, induction heating, or electric motors is also valuable.
You bring deep expertise in electromagnetic theory and simulation, with demonstrated hands-on experience in one or more key areas: low-frequency electromagnetics, including magnetostatics, electrostatics, motors, transformers, actuators, and eddy current analysis; high-frequency electromagnetics, spanning microwave components, antennas, radar and RCS modeling, S-parameter analysis, and signal and power integrity; or EMI/EMC analysis across the frequency spectrum.
You have a solid ability to apply fundamental knowledge to real-world phenomena across automotive and electric vehicles, aerospace and defense, telecommunications, semiconductor and electronics, and other industries. Highly proficient in at least one industry-standard EM simulation platform, you are adept at using these tools to create efficient, scalable workflows that drive impactful results. Relevant tools in this space include Ansys HFSS, Ansys Maxwell, CST Studio Suite, COMSOL Multiphysics with its RF and AC/DC modules, Altair FEKO, Altair Flux, and Siemens Simcenter MAGNET. Coding skills in Python and/or MATLAB, or the ability to quickly learn programming languages, is an advantage. Experience with PCB layout and signal integrity analysis using tools such as Cadence Allegro, Altium Designer, or Ansys SIwave is a nice to have.
With at least 3 to 5 years of industry experience (post Masters or PhD) in a commercial, non-research environment, you're ready to hit the ground running. You're comfortable setting up complex EM simulations independently, interpreting results with depth, and making informed decisions based on solid physics and engineering judgement.
As a Senior Simulation Engineer, you won't just create models, you'll build what truly matters.
This Role

In this role, you'll work closely with our Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and customers to understand and define the electromagnetics engineering challenges we are solving. You'll play a crucial role in delivering high-fidelity simulations by:
  • Independently building complex electromagnetic models from the ground up, covering low-frequency and high-frequency EM applications, to simulate and understand complex real-world phenomena, including using experimental data to validate simulations and ensure accuracy.
  • Automating simulation pipelines, enabling fast optimization and parametric design coupling for efficient results across a broad range of EM applications.
  • Leveraging our cloud platform and on-premises HPC to accelerate high-fidelity models beyond smart model setup and meshing choices.
  • Collaborating closely with customers to understand their engineering challenges and solve them using simulation and AI. You will present results clearly and suggest next steps while balancing accuracy and efficiency, often working under pressure to meet tight deadlines.
  • Working at the intersection of CAE and data science, generating accurate simulation results and predictions to train advanced Machine Learning and Deep Learning models.
  • Continuously improving engineering practices, adapting EM model setups and outputs to support the development of Deep Learning surrogates.
  • Mentoring junior engineers as part of a collaborative team.
  • Traveling to customer sites in the North America area, an average of 3-4 weeks per quarter, where you'll collaborate closely with customers to build solutions on site.
As the role evolves, there are exciting opportunities for growth as an individual contributor or a technical lead, especially if you're driven to take ownership of more complex projects and lead the direction of future solutions.
Please note, this role is based in New York City, working 2-3 days per week in our new office.
Our delivery teams drive innovation to turn AI models into practical solutions - read our blog to learn more about how you'll contribute to this exciting journey!
