• Develop and maintain reusable simulation workflows, templates, and automation (scripting, parameterization).
• Provide technical consultation to design, test and systems engineering teams; translate requirements into validated simulation strategies.
• Mentor and upskill engineers: run training sessions, code reviews, and best-practice workshops.
• Validate simulation results against test data; quantify uncertainty and provide recommendations for design decisions.
• Optimize simulation throughput using HPC, GPU acceleration and solver settings; manage job scheduling and resource use.

• Proven firsthand experience (typically 6+ years) delivering industrial FEA and CFD projects.
• Practical experience with ray tracing for optical/lighting simulation or geometric ray tracing workflows (e.g., for illumination, sensor modelling, stray light analysis).
• Experience with commercial and/or open-source tools (examples): Abaqus, ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS Fluent/CFX, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, HyperWorks/Altair, LS-DYNA, ParaView, EnSight, and ray-tracing toolkits or rendering engines (industry-neutral description: GPU-accelerated ray tracers, embree-like libraries, renderer toolchains). Comfortable selecting the right tool for the problem.
• Experience with model validation, data analysis, and uncertainty quantification; able to design validation plans and document assumptions.
