Working on prestigious Indian & International projects.JOB RESPONSABILITIES AND TASKSPerform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for structural components using tools like ANSYS Workbench, including linear, non-linear, static, dynamic, thermal, and fatigue analyses.Develop detailed Finite Element Models based on CAD data and technical specifications, ensuring accuracy in boundary conditions, material properties, and mesh quality.Collaborate with design and product development teams to provide simulation-driven design feedback, optimize geometry, and enhance product performance and reliability.Generate comprehensive technical reports and presentations summarizing calculation methods, assumptions, results, and design recommendations for both internal stakeholders and external customers.Conduct hand calculations to validate FEA results and support preliminary design studies using classical mechanical engineering methods (beam theory, stress/strain equations, etc.).Perform modal and vibration analysis of rotating and stationary components; experience with MADYN or equivalent tools is a plus.Support root cause analysis and failure investigations through simulation and calculation to identify corrective actions and design improvements. Continuously improve analysis processes by identifying automation opportunities, developing macros/scripts, and integrating advanced simulation methodologies & DoE, etc.Participate in design reviews and provide proactive input based on analysis to influence early-stage design decisions.Maintain documentation of calculations, analysis assumptions, and validation procedures to support traceability and audits.QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTSEducation: Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (degree from NITs or IITs preferred)Additional coursework or certification in Finite Element Analysis, Structural Mechanics, or Mechanical Design is an advantage.Experience: Minimum 3-8 years of relevant experience in mechanical simulation, stress analysis, or structural calculations using FEA tools.Proven experience with ANSYS Workbench for structural and thermal analysis (Linear/Non-linear, Static/Dynamic).Hands-on experience with CAD software (preferably UGNX, but CATIA, SolidWorks, or similar acceptable).Experience in rotating machinery, heavy equipment, or mechanical system design is highly desirable.Familiarity with MADYN or similar rotor dynamics software is a plus.Sound knowledge of mechanical engineering design concepts. Understanding of materials and manufacturing processes involvedExperience in technical troubleshootingProactive, avid learner, team player, good communication abilityLanguages: Proficiency in English and Hindi Specific Competencies:Strong understanding of mechanics of materials, structural analysis, and machine design principles.Proficiency in hand calculations and use of engineering formulas for stress, strain, fatigue, and thermal loads.Ability to develop and interpret FEA models, including material properties, load cases, and boundary conditions.Knowledge of industry standards and design codes (ASME, ISO, DIN, etc.) for mechanical components.Proficient in MS Office tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) for documentation and presentations.Programming/scripting skills (Python, MATLAB, APDL, or similar) for automation and customization of analysis workflows are an added advantage.Solid Mechanical engineering fundamentalsKnowledge & experience of using techniques, CAD, Analytical & FE Calculation tools & processes (NX, SAP, Standards, Calc tools etc.).Knowledge & experience of hydro generator D&E , procurement, quality control, manufacturing, erection & commissioning aspects.Ability to review design output with regard to quality, time & cost domains.Technical decision-making and technical project management skillsSpecial Note:The engineer will be part of core engineering team handling the design of large generator projects at Bhopal. This modern engineering and manufacturing facility at Bhopal is the main generator location of Andritz in the world after the parent location in Austria. As part of the generator engineering team Engineer will be exposed not only to generators but the entire hydro-power plant machinery, including turbines, governors, excitation, protection and control systems, mechanical balance of plant, electrical power systems, penstocks, and gates. Working in a generator engineering team also involves an understanding of various manufacturing processes (welding, machining, punching, casting, forging, etc.) and knowledge of a variety of materials (steel, copper, insulation, etc.) that are required for generator construction. Engineer will be exposed to a vast knowledge database of engineering guidelines, procedures, design instructions and library of international & national standards as part of your work profile.The job also requires international exposure in form of customer interactions as our projects are located globally and/or on-the-job work/reviews at parent company location in Austria.
