Responsibilities
- Develop, test, debug, and maintain CAE post-processing capabilities for engineering simulation products.
- Implement solver-result reading, result-case management, contour plots, XY plots, animation, result probing, min/max extraction, derived calculations, comparison, and report generation.
- Support scalar, vector, tensor, transient, modal, frequency-domain, and load-step-based result data.
- Participate in design discussions, code reviews, debugging, performance analysis, testing, and implementation planning.
- Investigate result interpretation issues, plotting errors, synchronization problems, solver discrepancies, performance bottlenecks, and customer-reported defects.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree with approximately 2–4 years of relevant software engineering experience, or a relevant master’s degree with little to no professional experience.
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Engineering, Computer-Aided Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related engineering discipline.
- Working proficiency in C++ and understanding of object-oriented programming, data structures, algorithms, memory management, and software development practices.
- Foundational knowledge of software development, debugging, testing, maintainable code, and implementation of well-defined components.
- Academic, internship, research, project, or professional exposure to CAE, simulation, scientific computing, engineering data processing, visualization, or related domains.
- Knowledge of CAE result concepts such as result cases, load steps, time steps, modes, scalar/vector/tensor quantities, coordinate systems, units, transformations, averaging, extrapolation, or derived results.
- Experience with post-processing features, visualization frameworks, automated testing, scripting, numerical validation, solver-result comparison, or benchmark models is preferred.
- Experience with CAE or simulation platforms including MSC Apex, Patran, Adams, Nastran, Marc, Abaqus, ANSYS, HyperWorks, ParaView, Tecplot, or equivalent technologies is preferred.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot or Cursor is preferred.
- Development experience on Windows or Linux, familiarity with build systems and source control, and ability to use debuggers, logs, stack traces, tests, and diagnostic tools.
- Strong communication, collaboration, problem-solving, analytical, organizational, and time-management skills.
