Our Client, an Internet Content & Information company, is looking for a Mechanical Engineer III for their Redmond, WA location. Responsibilities: + The person filling this role will work on structural and thermal finite element simulations, both to support the development of the MIDAS project. This requires understanding of shock/vibrations, failure analysis, heat transfer, and strength of materials. This also requires expertise in using ANSYS and/or Abaqus. Candidate should also be experienced in implicit and explicit finite element methods. Familiarity with optics and optical simulations is a plus. + We are seeking an experienced FEA Simulation Engineer with a strong background in modeling, analyzing, and developing solutions for drop/shock structural problems, and steady state and transient thermal problems. Our ideal candidate approaches complex problems with an analytical mindset firmly rooted in engineering first principles. They are unafraid to challenge underlying assumptions and are dedicated to delivering solutions in addition to insight. We want someone who works well in a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment, can drive clarity from ambiguity, communicates complex concepts clearly, and is unafraid to tackle new challenges. + Deliver simulation and analysis-based solutions to improve product response to mechanical (drop/shock) and thermal loads. + Collaborate with designers, engineers, and other cross-functional partners to identify risks, strategically create simulations, plan and conduct validation testing, and deliver objective, data-driven engineering guidance and solutions. + Contribute to the creation of product requirements and technical specifications. + Provide data and technical guidance for product architecture development efforts. + Organize and lead thermal design reviews, solution brainstorms, and implementation efforts. + Drive root cause efforts and design of experiments to resolve problems. + Present results in a form actionable by cross-functional team members and leadership. + Advance team capabilities using new methods, materials, technologies, and software tools. Requirements: + Masters degree or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field. + Knowledge of engineering and physics-based principles related to shock, vibrations, strength of materials, heat transfer, and failure analysis. + Knowledge of implicit and explicit structural and thermal finite element analysis. + Experience using a data-driven approach to analyze problems and deliver robust, optimized solutions. + Understanding of the mechanical and thermal properties for a broad spectrum of materials, for example glass, ceramic, polymers, and adhesives. + 5+ years’ experience using commercial FEA simulation tools preferably Ansys and/or Abaqus. + 3+ years’ experience using 3D CAD tools preferably SolidWorks and/or NX. + 3+ years’ experience architecting solutions mitigating drop/shock and thermal problems. + Preferred Qualifications: + PhD or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field. + Experience delivering analysis and developing solutions for consumer products. + FEA (Finite Element Analysis) + Metrology testing (shock drop) + Hands on lab experience + Optics experience Why Should You Apply? + Health Benefits + Referral Program + Excellent growth and advancement opportunities As an equal opportunity employer, ICONMA provides an employment environment that supports and encourages the abilities of all persons without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or express, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability status, political affiliation, genetics, marital status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local laws.
