Simulation Engineer

The team is focused on improving how we design and develop products by using simulation and computational tools to inform decision-making. Our work helps accelerate development, improve performance, and ensure that designs are tested and validated against real-world conditions.

About the Role
We are looking for a Simulation Engineer to contribute to modeling, analysis, and validation activities across a variety of projects. In this role, you will apply simulation techniques to support design, testing, and optimization efforts, helping to guide product development with data-driven insight. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure designs meet requirements and perform as expected.

In this role, you will:

• Build and run models to evaluate performance across different domains.

• Develop workflows to make simulations more efficient and repeatable.

• Collaborate with design and test teams to define requirements and validate models.

• Use computational analysis to help guide decisions and identify tradeoffs.

• Contribute to improving internal methods and practices for simulation.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Hold a degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related field.

• Have experience with simulation methods and tools.

• Are comfortable interpreting results and connecting them to real-world performance.

• Have some programming or scripting experience for automation or workflow improvements.

• Enjoy working collaboratively across teams and disciplines.
