Faith Technologies, Inc. is looking to solve problems related to the structural and thermal integrity of power distribution enclosures, switchboard enclosures, data center enclosures, and battery energy storage systems by optimizing their design and ensuring robustness and safety.
Requirements
- Proven experience in finite element analysis with use of Ansys, Abaqus, COMSOL or similar software
- Strong knowledge of static and dynamic structural analysis, material strength, and failure modeling for different classes of materials
- Knowledge of CAD design software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar
- Familiarity with renewable energy systems, including solar, wind, power conversion, and energy storage systems and containers
- Familiarity with HV power distribution enclosures including UPS, switchboards, batteries, and power electronics
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to interpret simulation results
- Experience modeling renewable energy systems, including solar, wind, power conversion, and energy storage systems and containers
Responsibilities
- Structural and thermal impact analysis of power distribution enclosures, switchboard enclosures, data center enclosures (including components like panels, mounting brackets, busbars, wiring, circuit breakers) and battery energy storage systems
- Modeling of enclosures to simulate loading conditions (loading, transporting, environmental conditions) and mechanical stress to identify potential weaknesses in the design and optimize structural integrity before physical prototyping
- Simulate and predict the potential for fatigue failure in a component or structure due to repeated thermal cycles, heat rejection of electronic components, and mechanical stress
- Model the temperature distribution within the structure or battery pack under different thermal loading conditions including heating and cooling cycles
- Optimization of modular enclosure designs (switchboards, UPS, battery pack) to reduce material weight and cost and improve overall robustness and safety
- Define, lead, and support FEA processes, best practices, and activities for R&D and product development projects
- Lead, guide, and manage a team of FEA engineers
Other
- Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field preferred.
- 10+ years of experience in FEA modeling
- Ability to effectively communicate technical findings and collaborate with cross-functional teams
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering or relevant field
- Travel: 10-25%
