We are looking for a Calculation Engineer who can solve complex technical challenges using analytical methods, numerical simulation, and strong engineering expertise. In this role, you will be responsible for developing, performing, and evaluating calculations across a range of application areas, including structural mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, multibody simulation, and durability analysis. You will work closely with design, testing, product development, quality assurance, and project management teams to support sound technical decisions and help create innovative products that are safe, efficient, and cost-effective.
As a Calculation Engineer, you will analyze components, assemblies, and systems with regard to strength, stiffness, vibration behavior, temperature distribution, fatigue, and safety. You will build simulation models, define boundary conditions, assess load cases, and interpret results in terms of technical feasibility and compliance with applicable standards. Using modern CAE and FEA tools, you will help accelerate development cycles, reduce the need for physical prototypes, and improve product quality in a sustainable way.
A key part of this position is close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams. You will translate technical requirements into robust calculation approaches, document your findings clearly, and present recommendations to engineering and management stakeholders. In addition, you will support product and process optimization, identify risks at an early stage, and contribute to meeting development targets related to performance, cost, weight, and reliability.
We are looking for someone with a structured, precise, and solution-oriented working style, as well as the ability to explain complex relationships in a clear and practical manner. Ideal candidates bring a deep understanding of physical principles, hands-on experience with simulation methods, and a strong interest in investigating technical challenges in detail. Knowledge of relevant standards, material properties, and validation methods is just as important as a strong commitment to quality.
In our company, you can expect a demanding technical environment with exciting development projects, modern software tools, and excellent opportunities for professional growth. You will have the chance to contribute to innovative products and apply your expertise within a collaborative, forward-looking team. If you bring analytical thinking, technical understanding, and enthusiasm for simulation-driven development, we would be pleased to hear from you.
