Computational Mechanics Engineer
Third Wave Systems, a leading provider of CAE analysis software and services for machining manufacturing, is seeking enthusiastic additions to our computational mechanics software development team. This position holds the primary responsibility of developing and implementing numerical methods, finite element formulations, smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH), meshless methods, adaptive and initial mesh generation, three-dimensional geometry engines, mechanistic machining models, constitutive models for the simulation and optimization of metal, composite, and ceramic cutting processes. The Computational Mechanics Engineer (CME) will collaborate with Applications Development, Applications Engineering and Product Quality teams to translate customer requests and problems to internal requirements. Ideal candidate must hold a master’s or Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering or a related field, with experience in one or more programming languages (C, C++, C#, OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA, and Fortran 95/90/77) and CAD/CAM systems. To best complement to Third Wave Systems’ development capabilities, candidates should have expertise in one or more of the following areas: explicit, implicit, direct and iterative solution methodologies; thermo-mechanical coupled analysis; mechanistic machining modeling; large deformation analysis; adaptive and initial mesh generation; meshless methods; deformable contact; shared and distributed memory parallel computing; plasticity; fracture mechanics; and constitutive modeling for metals, composites, and ceramics. Knowledge of metal cutting processes is a plus, but not required. Strong communication and skills are required, along with the ability to build relationships and work collaboratively across the organization. Third Wave Systems offers competitive pay and benefits within a technically challenging environment.
