Application Engineer — CAE / Simulation (Altair)

Company: Adroitec Engineering Pvt. Ltd. — authorised channel partner for Altair and Siemens Simcenter simulation software

Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka

Experience: 1–4 years in CAE / structural simulation

Role type: Full-time, customer-facing technical role

About the role

Adroitec partners with engineering and manufacturing customers to deploy and support best-in-class simulation tools. We're looking for an Application Engineer to support and grow our Altair customer base across the region. You'll work directly with customer engineering teams — running simulations, solving their technical problems, delivering demos and proofs-of-concept, and helping them get real value from the tools. This is a hands-on technical role with strong customer exposure, ideal for someone with a solid CAE foundation who wants to grow into a technical account and solutions role. Structured mentoring and product training are provided.

What you'll do

Support customers on Altair HyperWorks tools — pre-processing, solving, and post-processing across structural and related domains. Run and troubleshoot analyses (linear/nonlinear static, modal, frequency response, transient, fatigue) and help customers interpret results and resolve convergence, meshing, and modelling issues. Prepare and deliver technical demonstrations, benchmarks, and proof-of-concept studies that map customer problems to the right simulation workflow. Translate customer requirements into clear technical approaches and communicate findings through reports and presentations.



Coordinate with Altair technical support on escalations, and work alongside the sales team to support pre-sales technical discussions and account growth. Build and maintain workflow documentation and internal knowledge.

Must-have skills

A degree in Mechanical / Aerospace / Automotive engineering (B.E./B.Tech; M.Tech in Design/CAE a plus). 1–4 years of hands-on FEA/CAE experience. Working knowledge of HyperMesh (or an equivalent pre-processor) and at least one solver — OptiStruct, Nastran, Abaqus, or Ansys. Solid grounding in FEA fundamentals: element types, meshing quality, boundary conditions, material models, and result interpretation. Strong communication skills — able to explain technical results clearly to customers. Willingness to travel to customer sites within the region.

Good to have

Exposure to any of: Radioss or explicit dynamics, HyperLife or fatigue tools, SimSolid, Inspire, nonlinear contact, NVH/frequency-domain analysis. Familiarity with Siemens Simcenter tools (STAR-CCM+, Amesim, Simcenter 3D) is a solid plus, as the role may expand into multi-vendor support. Prior experience in a channel-partner, pre-sales, or customer-facing technical role. Scripting (Python/Tcl) for automation.

What makes you a fit

You enjoy solving other people's engineering problems, not just running your own analyses. You can hold a technical conversation with a customer's design team and translate what they need into a simulation approach. You're comfortable presenting, you write clearly, and you're motivated to grow from a hands-on solver role into technical account ownership over time.
