Senior Consulting Engineer (ANSYS Solution Development 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 Solution Development Specialist is responsible for developing and configuring a cloud base environment on ANSYS Platform that will enable customers’ engineers to access simulation flows through web applications for their engineering design processes e.g. for autonomous driving (ADAS/AV), 5G systems, electrification etc. As a Solution Development Specialist, you will build up the software stack from the ground up, end to end, making sure the architecture will be flexible and scalable. As our simulation technology evolves rapidly, you will be responsible for updating the environment frequently with the new versions and features.
