Simulation Engineer

About Us

You know those loud, dirty, and inefficient generators found at construction sites, conferences, and entertainment venues? Moxion has developed a commercial-scale, all-electric version that is powerful, silent, and emissions-free. We’re pioneering mobile energy storage technology and leveraging vertical integration and a software-enabled service model to deliver last-mile electrification for our customers and communities. The Moxion team is a passionate group of humans who care about the environment and want to use technology to make a real impact at scale. Come build the first distributed utility with us, propelling the biggest energy transformation of our lifetime!

The Role

As our Simulation & FE engineer you’ll be creating models to validate mechanical and thermal behaviors of our different systems and subsystems. You’ll own the models definition, hypothesis management, pre & post processing reports and provide direction to the mechanical engineering team to optimize the design. You’ll apply your technical expertise to provide quality analysis to the teams to enable the design and delivery of mobile energy storage systems.

What You'll Do:

• Perform simulations of complex mechanical systems using various finite element analysis (FEA) methods, including statics, dynamics, thermal.
• Perform correlation experiments to validate simulation results.
• Partner with mechanical design engineers to optimize designs and recommend solutions to achieve product requirements.
• Collaborate to create our own internal numerical tools to optimize our team’s response time to discrete behaviors.
• Perform analytical studies to understand design variation to create statistical analysis to support development.
• Develop standards based on best practices and correlation methods.
• Drive external vendors to deliver high quality analysis.

Skills to be Successful:

• Excellent fundamentals in Solid Mechanics and Strength of Materials
• Comfortable level knowledge of Finite Element modeling in static, dynamic and thermal
• Ability to mesh geometry, and create idealized mesh, accounting for topology and end use metrics.
• Experience with refinement, validation, and correlation to modal test data.
• Ability to solve static and dynamic structural problems using physics-based analytical methods (hand calcs and 3rd party commercial analytical tools)
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Process automation and ability to use scripting languages
