Researcher : Vibration simulations and Structural mechanics

Roles & Responsibilities :

The focus is set on advanced simulation of vibration and structural mechanics and identifying material properties and their behavior under thermal loads.

• You will have to develop improved modeling strategies for vibration of automotive and industrial components considering material properties under various thermal loads

• You’ll have to leverage your skills and knowledge of vibration mechanics and material science to build the requisite models and perform the required simulations.

• You’ll be required to perform the necessary scripting, coding and linting tasks for various related 3D multi-physics models.

• Furthermore, for efficiency and accuracy improvements as required you’ll have to combine physics-based models with AI/ML approaches.

• You will work in international teams and perform necessary development/implementation to accomplish the tasks.

Educational qualification:

• Mtech, PhD in Material Science, Civil, Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering from top national and international institutes like IISc Bangalore, IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Delhi

Experience :

• 3+ years

Mandatory/requires Skills :

• Sound knowledge in vibration modelling, solid & structural mechanics

• Excellent knowledge of material science and Engineering specially related to vibration fatigue

• Excellent fundamentals of numerical methods and algorithms especially Finite Element Methods

• Excellent programming skills in python is non-negotiable

• Proficiency in Abaqus tool

• Good understanding of ordinary and partial differential equations

• Good presentation and communication skills

• Knowledge and experience of working with AI/ML tools and methods, neural networks, random forest, xgboost, gpr, PINNs, Operator learning and optimization schemes

Preferred Skills :

• Understanding and hands on experience of LLMs and agentic frameworks is a good to have skill, but if the mandatory skills listed above are not there then this won’t help for the role
