Ready to simulate success? Join our innovative team!
Are you a problem-solver who thrives on tackling complex engineering challenges? Do you geek out over the power of simulation tools like Ansys to bring ideas to life? If so, we want you to be part of our cutting-edge team!
At OsteoCentric Technologies, we’re redefining what’s possible. As a Simulation Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the future, working on groundbreaking projects that make a real impact. With access to state-of-the-art tools, a collaborative team of experts, and an environment that values innovation, this is your chance to flex your technical muscles and take your career to the next level.
The Simulation Engineer is responsible for performing advanced simulation and analysis using Ansys software (Mechanical, Motion, LS-DYNA, or optiSLang) to support product design and development. They will perform complex simulations, analyze results, and offer optimization recommendations for OsteoCentric products in the Medical Device and Industrial spaces. This role requires a proactive, collaborative engineer with experience in finite element analysis (FEA), dynamic modeling, or optimization processes, capable of working cross-functionally to drive innovation and product quality. This position is required to work in our North Austin office.

In this role you will:

• Develop, set up, and execute simulation models using Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Motion, Ansys LS-DYNA, or Ansys optiSLang, depending on project requirements.
• Perform finite element analysis (FEA) for structural, thermal, and/or dynamic simulations, and provide insights for design improvements.
• Collaborate with design, R&D, and product development teams to define simulation requirements and translate them into functional models.
• Analyze and interpret simulation results, generating comprehensive reports to inform engineering and design decisions.
• Conduct sensitivity and optimization studies using Ansys tools to ensure robustness and reliability in product design.
• Troubleshoot and validate models to ensure accuracy and alignment with real-world testing and performance.
• Participate in product testing and validation to correlate simulation data with physical data.
• Stay current with advances in simulation technology and incorporate new methodologies to enhance simulation capabilities.
• Prepare, deliver, and support technical presentations, publications, and IP filings based on the learnings from simulations, for both internal and external audiences.
• Function as simulation Subject Matter Expert (SME), including training others on the mechanics and use of simulation tools, administrating and coordinating licenses and subscriptions, and recommending appropriate hardware.
• Perform special projects and other duties as assigned.

REQUIRED SKILLS/ABILITIES:

• Strong understanding of finite element analysis (FEA) and dynamic modeling principles.
• Proficiency in developing, validating, and optimizing complex simulation models.
• Familiarity with multi-physics simulation, particularly structural, thermal, and/or dynamic analyses.
• Knowledge of scripting languages (e.g., Python) and familiarity with CAD software (e.g. SolidWorks).
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to create clear and actionable reports.
• Collaborative team player with a proactive, self-driven work ethic.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or Biomedical Engineering (with Mechanical concentration) from an accredited institution. Graduate degrees and certificates are preferred.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in engineering simulation, specifically with Ansys tools.
• Proven expertise in at least one of the specified Ansys software systems: Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Motion, Ansys LS-DYNA, or Ansys optiSLang. Ansys certification/credentials preferred.
