The Impact You'll Make
As a Lead / Sr. Lead Engineer – FEA Simulations, you will play a critical role in advancing the virtual product development capabilities of Danfoss Fluid Conveyance. You will lead complex simulation activities that help improve the performance, durability, reliability, and efficiency of hydraulic hose assemblies, fittings, couplings, and related fluid conveyance products.
Your expertise in nonlinear finite element analysis, rubber and composite material modeling, and design validation will enable data-driven engineering decisions, reduce dependence on physical prototypes, and accelerate innovation. Working closely with global teams across design, testing, materials, and manufacturing, you will help deliver robust solutions that address customer challenges and support the development of industry-leading products.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead advanced structural, nonlinear, and contact FEA simulations for hydraulic hose fittings, couplings, ferrules, inserts, and hose assemblies to support product development and validation.
Develop and validate simulation models for rubber compounds, elastomeric materials, and reinforced composite hose constructions, including braided and spiral reinforcement structures.
Drive simulation-led design decisions by evaluating performance characteristics such as burst pressure, proof pressure, fatigue life, fitting retention, impact resistance, and durability.
Collaborate with global cross-functional teams to investigate product failures, correlate simulation results with physical testing, and develop engineering design guidelines and best practices.
Mentor engineers, lead technical discussions, and promote the adoption of virtual testing methodologies that improve development efficiency and product quality.
In this role, you will also contribute to continuous improvement of simulation methodologies, support multiple engineering programs simultaneously, and provide technical recommendations that influence product s
