Senior Thermo-Mechanical Analyst - Optomechatronic Systems

Main responsibilities 

• Lead Analysis Activities: Take ownership of mechanical and thermal-mechanical analysis to guide critical design decisions.
• Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Work alongside mechanical/optical designers, flow modeling specialists, and systems architects to develop and validate prototypes.
• Strategic Influence: Balance various physics domains to achieve robust, high-performance solutions for our customers' most challenging technical problems. Your expertise will influence strategic design choices.
• Mentorship: Guide and mentor junior engineers, sharing your expertise in simulation and precision engineering.

Requirements

• Education: MSc or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field, with a strong focus on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and computational modeling.
• Experience: 7–10 years of relevant experience in thermal, mechanical, and vibration analysis within high-tech or precision engineering (e.g., Space, Aerospace, or Semiconductors).
• Background: You have worked on complex, multidisciplinary projects, successfully applying multi-domain analysis and optimization techniques to achieve robust, high-performance designs.
• Software Expertise: Expert-level proficiency in ANSYS, COMSOL, or similar high-end simulation platforms.
• Technical Skills: Strong experience with static, thermal-structural, and vibration simulations applied in complex industrial environments, plus familiarity with system-level modeling tools like Python or Matlab.
• Domain Knowledge: Solid understanding of industrial norms, such as ECSS standards, and ideally experience with topology optimization or multi-physics modeling.
• Documentation: Proven ability to produce high-quality technical reports, design documentation and analysis summaries that support decision-making at senior levels.
• Communication: Excellent command of English (written and verbal) and the ability to explain complex technical insights to various stakeholders.
