Join to apply for the Simulation Engineer role at Nextracker Inc. Job Overview We are seeking a Simulation Engineer to join our Mechanical Engineering Team. In this role, you will provide technical leadership in finite element analysis (FEA), thermal simulations, and multiphysics modeling for our solar tracker systems and related components. You will influence product design decisions, improve validation strategies, and ensure robust system performance under structural, thermal, and environmental conditions. This position is ideal for professionals with 8+ years of experience in advanced simulation, capable of balancing technical depth with mentoring, cross‑functional collaboration, and innovation. Key Responsibilities Lead complex simulations including nonlinear, dynamic, fatigue, buckling, contact, and multiphysics (thermal‑structural coupling) analyses. Perform thermal simulations for components and systems, evaluating effects of solar heating, conduction, convection, and thermal cycling on material and system performance. Establish simulation standards and frameworks, ensuring global consistency across projects. Drive correlation activities between simulation and physical testing, refining predictive accuracy. Advise design teams by comparing alternative design concepts, identifying risks, and providing simulation‑driven recommendations. Mentor and coach junior engineers in simulation methodologies, tools, and best practices. Collaborate cross‑functionally with Design, NPI, Test, Manufacturing, and global engineering teams. Support root cause investigations of field or test failures using advanced simulation methods. Qualifications Education Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field. PhD in computational mechanics, thermal sciences, or similar is a plus. Experience 8+ years of experience in FEA and multiphysics simulation roles. Proven track record in the renewable energy, aerospace, automotive, or heavy industrial sectors. Experience bridging simulation with test and field performance validation. Technical Skills Expert‑level proficiency with Ansys, Abaqus, or equivalent FEA software. Strong experience in thermal analysis and thermal‑structural coupling. Skilled in CAD modeling workflows (SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD, or similar). Deep understanding of materials, mechanics, fatigue, and environmental effects. Familiarity with scripting/automation (Python, MATLAB) for simulation workflows. Language Skills Fluency in English (required). Portuguese (Native). Soft Skills Strong leadership and mentoring capabilities. Excellent technical communication and reporting skills. Analytical mindset with innovation and problem‑solving focus. Ability to operate in a global, cross‑functional, and multicultural environment. Preferred Qualifications Experience with solar tracker design or renewable energy hardware. Prior involvement in global product development projects. Knowledge of thermal fatigue, creep, and durability in large‑scale mechanical systems. Exposure to cloud‑based simulation environments and high‑performance computing (HPC). Seniority level Mid‑Senior level Employment type Full‑time Job function Engineering and Information Technology #J-18808-Ljbffr
