Your tasks

Your Contribution To Something Big:

Use simulation to shape real product design and contribute to the development of the next generation of efficient and reliable heat pump systems.

As a FEA Simulation Engineer, you will use advanced simulation methods to understand and optimize the structural behavior of our products, with a particular focus on vibration and fatigue.

From numerical simulation to physical testing, you will connect analysis, product design and validation, providing engineering insights that support robust technical decisions and continuously improve product performance.

In This Role, You Will:

  • Perform static and dynamic Finite Element Analysis (FEA), with a particular focus on vibration and fatigue.
  • Use ANSYS and relevant simulation tools to analyze the structural behavior and performance of components and systems.
  • Use simulation results to guide and support product design decisions throughout the development process.
  • Optimize components considering structural performance, reliability, cost and other product requirements.
  • Plan, coordinate and execute physical testing activities to validate and correlate FEA models.
  • Analyze simulation and test results, identify improvement opportunities and translate findings into actionable design recommendations.
  • Collaborate in cross-functional engineering teams, working closely with design engineers, acoustics specialists and other technical experts.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of simulation, validation and product development methods.

Your profile

What Distinguishes You:

Education

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering or a related engineering field.

Experience

  • Relevant professional experience applying Finite Element Analysis (FEA) within product development or engineering environments.
  • Practical experience using ANSYS for structural simulation.
  • Experience in vibration and fatigue analysis, including static and dynamic simulation methods.
  • Experience working within interdisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Experience connecting simulation results with physical testing and product development is particularly valuable.

Know-how

  • Strong understanding of FEA methods, structural mechanics, vibration and fatigue.
  • Solid knowledge of ANSYS or comparable engineering simulation tools.
  • Knowledge of methods for FEA model validation and correlation with physical test results.
  • Ability to interpret simulation results and translate them into practical recommendations for component and product design.
  • Understanding of design optimization, balancing technical performance, reliability, cost and product requirements.
  • Knowledge of heat pumps, HVAC systems or comparable mechanical products is an advantage.

Languages

  • Very good command of English, written and spoken, enabling effective collaboration within international engineering teams.

Working Style and Methods

  • You approach engineering challenges in a structured, analytical and solution-oriented way.
  • You work independently and proactively while collaborating closely with different engineering disciplines.
  • You use simulation and test data to support fact-based engineering decisions.
  • You consider both technical performance and cost/value when evaluating design solutions.
  • You are motivated to continuously improve simulation and validation methods.

Personality

  • You are curious and enjoy understanding how products behave under real operating conditions.
  • You communicate technical findings clearly and enjoy exchanging ideas with other engineering specialists.
  • You take ownership of your topics and proactively follow them from simulation through validation.
  • You enjoy working in interdisciplinary teams and contributing your technical expertise to product development.
  • You are motivated to continuously develop your knowledge in simulation, testing and sustainable heating technologies.
