Mechanics of Materials – Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineer

Job description

Job Description Summary The Mechanics of Materials – Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineer develops and validates material models that enable accurate, physics-based predictions of component performance in demanding gas turbine environments. You will bridge experimental materials testing and computational mechanics to continuously improve life prediction methodologies. This role sits at the intersection of mechanical engineering, materials science, and computational simulation—translating test data into actionable FEA inputs and validating models against real-world component behavior. Working with ANSYS and in-house lifting tools, you'll create material input cards and perform verification studies that directly impact the safety, reliability, and efficiency of gas turbine hardware operating under extreme temperatures, stresses, and cyclic loading conditions. Job Description: Key Responsibilities: Material Model Development & Validation (Primary Focus) - Create and refine material model input decks for ANSYS and GE Vernova proprietary lifing tools, supporting mechanical properties including Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF), High Cycle Fatigue (HCF), Creep, Stress-Strain, Physical Properties...
