Job Description:
Mechanical CAE Engineering Manager
Primary Responsibilities:
Lead a team of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineers responsible for simulation, design, and development of new and mature products.
Coordinate with cross-functional teams including engineering, product marketing, and industrial design to determine the scope, role, and contribution of the Analytical Engineering team.
Assess the merits of multiple design directions and develop a path that balances performance, quality and cost.
Meet with direct reports regularly to give technical guidance, manage technical direction, set priorities and establish deadlines.
Provide training and guidance to direct reports for career development. Establish goals and objectives for each engineer with regular reviews and performance appraisals.
Serve as a subject matter expert in simulation, prediction and measurement of structural, dynamic, aerodynamic, acoustic, and vibrational performance of consumer power tools.
Serve as a subject matter expert in reduced order plant models (ROM) to predict system performance using MATLAB, Simscape, Python, or similar languages.
Support new product development (NPD) and the Advanced Engineering team in the research and development of new to market products and technology.
Research, develop, and implement techniques for multi-physics simulations including but not limited to conjugate heat transfer, spray atomization, aeroacoustics, multi-body dynamics, topology optimization, SPH, SPG, DEM, etc.
Manage annual budget including software licensing fees and contract negotiations for existing and future purchases.
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical or Aerospace) or a related engineering field with 8 years of relevant professional experience.
Minimum of 2 years professional experience managing 1 or more direct reports.
Proficiency in Finite Element Analysis or Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation (ANSYS preferred).
Proficiency in CAD modeling (NX, SolidWorks or other commercial code).
Proficiency in a computational language (MatLab, Simscape, Simulink, Python).
Experience in empirical testing, setup, and measurement with knowledge of data acquisition best practices and signal processing.
Relevant work experience includes but is not limited to: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation
Multiphysics simulations including but not limited to structural, modal, multi-body dynamics, impact dynamics, CHT, electromagnetics, aeroacoustics, SPH, SPG, DEM, etc.
