- Work with the Global Engineering team and technical leads to perform FEA on valve components, assemblies with the goal to provide design and development recommendations. The simulation is giving guidance how to reduce weight of components and assemblies.
- Lead the problem identified in a design phase and provide solution using simulation.
- Define and implement appropriate simulation strategies to solve engineering problems, including design exploration, Design of Experiments (DoE), sensitivity studies, optimization, and regression-based analyses.
- Should be familiar with ASME section VIII div. 2 part 5 (Design by Analysis)
- Conduct linear and nonlinear structural analyses, including:
- Static stress analysis
- Transient structural and thermal analysis
- Low and High cycle Fatigue and life assessment
- Thermal stress analysis
- Contact and sealing simulations
- Wear analysis
- Evaluate valve performance under high pressure, temperature, and corrosive environments.
- Perform fluid-structure interaction (FSI) or support CFD–FEA coupling for flow-induced stresses and vibrations.
- Should have understanding of APDL and Ansys ACT
- Leverage the AI to automate the repetitive tasks in simulation
-
Provide recommendations for improving:
- Structural integrity
- Sealing performance
- Manufacturability
- Cost efficiency
- Support product development from concept to validation
- Ensure designs comply with relevant industry standards such as:
- ASME (e.g., Section VIII, B16 series)
