Key Responsibilities

• Solve and validate engineering problems involving design, analysis, simulation, testing, and R&D.
• Translate physical systems and engineering requirements into analytical or computational models.
• Create or modify geometry, meshes, materials, loads, contacts, constraints, and solver inputs.
• Evaluate simulation results against physical requirements and design constraints.
• Develop and validate engineering solutions using appropriate computational tools.
• Ensure technical outputs are accurate, reproducible, and meet project specifications.

Required Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline, or a strong understanding of applied mechanics and mechanical engineering fundamentals.
• Experience developing analytical, computational, or simulation-based engineering solutions.
• Practical proficiency with coding agents.
• Strong technical reasoning and problem-solving skills.
• Experience using Python for engineering workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with structural, thermal, mechanical, or multiphysics simulations.
• Familiarity with engineering modeling, meshing, material properties, boundary conditions, and solver configurations.
• Background in engineering design, testing, simulation, or research and development.

Compensation

• $60–$120/hour, with payment based on completed tasks that meet project specifications.
• Expected commitment: approximately 15 hours per week.
• Minimum task submission requirements apply.
