About AstraYAN:

AstraYAN is an innovative deep-tech start-up focused on pioneering the future design of marine and naval vessels. We specialise in developing advanced engineering solutions and platform systems for smart and unmanned ocean going vessels. As a start-up, we value creativity, collaboration, and adaptability. If you are passionate about shaping the future of marine technology, we would love to have you join our team.

The Role:

This is a full-time, on-site Dynamic Systems Simulation Engineer role based in the IIT Madras Research Park in Chennai.

In this role, you will be expected to use a combination of high-fidelity commercial solvers and first-principles mathematical modelling for building Finite Element Method (FEM) models and performing vibration and shock analysis. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver engineer solutions that address both technical and business requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

· Undertake dynamic FEA analysis, strength analysis under normal operation, shock loadings scenarios by FEA techniques.

· Build, mesh, and analyse high-fidelity 3D finite element models of complex equipment, mechanical enclosures,



and assemblies using ANSYS (or similar software like Abaqus or Nastran).

· Develop analytical dynamic and vibration models from scratch using MATLAB to under FEA based vibration and shock analysis.

· Collaborate with the mechanical and systems engineering teams to optimize designs for vibration and shock isolation.

· Prepare and deliver progress reports, technical documentation, and presentations for stakeholders, ensuring clarity and effective communication across teams.

Required Qualifications,:

· Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

· Deep understanding of solid mechanics, structural dynamics.

· Proven hands-on experience developing complex structural and agile simulations in multibody simulation software (e.g., ANSYS, LS-Dyna, MSC Software etc.) with a strong grasp of mesh quality, boundary conditions, and solver selection.

· Proficiency in programming tools and languages such as MATLAB, Simulink.

· Taking responsibility for your own planning and project management..

· Strong communication and collaboration abilities, with experience working effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
