Senior Consulting Engineer (ANSYS Platform Implementation Specialist)

Ansys is the global leader in engineering simulation, helping the world’s most innovative companies deliver radically better products to their customers. By offering the best and broadest portfolio of engineering simulation software, Ansys helps companies solve the most complex design challenges and engineer products limited only by imagination.

SUMMARY

ANSYS is the WW leading simulation software company. Engineering simulation has become a key area of product development. It is recognized as instrumental in the digital transformation of industries: simulation and analysis tools are key technology to accelerate design development and reduce the use of physical prototypes. With a connected product (IoT), simulation provides value through the product life cycle from requirements, design, testing, manufacturing, commissioning, operations and maintenance.

The ANSYS Platform Implementation Specialist is responsible for leveraging advanced-level engineering and product development knowledge to implement enterprise-level solutions to enable customers to more effectively utilize advanced simulation technologies throughout their product development and engineering process. As a Platform Implementation Specialist, you will work closely with an ANSYS solution architect to understand and implement solutions for transforming customer’s current simulation practices and their usage from the overall product development process towards a managed and well-integrated simulation environment based on ANSYS Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) Platform. The to-be state will enable customers to effectively and efficiently:

• Integrate their simulation processes into overall product design process, including traceability of simulation data to product data.
• Manage the simulation data and processes
• Increase productivity of simulation engineers by providing relevant input data, access to compute resources from a single environment

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Assist the ANSYS solution architects to design a solution based on the understanding of customers as-is and to-be state.
• Lead/Assist in coordinating and executing all technical activities during the solution implementation phase such as implementation of workflows or other business logics.
• Utilize the ANSYS SPDM platform as the foundation to select the appropriate technologies for implementing the defined solution.
• Ensure software engineering best practices and/or methodologies are used within the project team to ensure high quality deliverables
• Review teamwork work products to ensure that they are accurate, consistent, and meet customer requirements.
