The team you will be a part of

The simulation based design (SBD) team is formed of technical experts with a deep knowledge of Refrigeration products (top-mounts, bottom-mounts, side-by-sides, french-door bottom-mounts, single door, etc). The primary delivery of the team is a suite of virtual models proven to predict product performance without the need of physical units. The team’s physics-based approach ensures the models are parametrized such that the predictive capability is valid between products with varying form/dimensions

This role in summary

Currently, we are seeking qualified candidates for a Structural Simulation Engineer opening to join our Refrigeration Simulation Based Design organization. This position will be located in Apodaca, Nuevo León, México.

Your responsibilities will include

• Work with the global simulation based engineering teams and Refrigeration subsystem teams to create and execute highly physics-based system-performance models for refrigeration products to enable virtual prediction of thermal, structure and/or cooling performance.

• Use Finite Elements Methods (FEA) tools to develop static, dynamic, implicit and explicit solid mechanic models for refrigerators;

• Build representative refrigerator products 3D models, evaluate designs, validate with physical testing and perform iterations to drive efficient designs for optimal product performance.

• Write simulation reports, knowledge documents, lessons learned to capture knowledge and promote future reuse.

• Develop new techniques and simulation capabilities to reduce overall simulation and design cycle time.

• Work with cross functional, category and global teams to align with simulation capabilities, methods and knowledge sharing.

• Manage multiple projects while maintaining a strong communication bridge with design, CAD, preprocessing and lab personnel.

• Use Ansys Workbench, APDL and Creo extensively to simulate refrigerator thermal and structural models.

• Operate as a liaison between platform teams, subsystems engineers and external suppliers to ensure accuracy and timely delivery of projects.

Minimum requirements

• Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering

• A minimum of 1 year thermal and/or structural simulation experience;

• Experience of applying Ansys Workbench, APDL, Ansys Mechanical or other FEA tools. Python is a plus;

• Full written and spoken english communication;

• Ability to work with diverse global teams;

• Strong problem solving skills, organization, interpersonal, written and oral communication skills.

Preferred skills and experiences

• Background on Solid Mechanics and Structural Analysis.

• Background on Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics or experience with Refrigeration products is a plus;
