Description
Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) in Dayton, OH is seeking an independently motivated and detail-oriented engineer to create CAD models and prepare high quality surface and volumetric meshes/grids for a variety of computational physics software packages. The unique and strict requirements of each computational package require different modeling and meshing approaches for each problem. As such, a successful candidate must be willing to work closely with a team of computational scientists and engineers to understand the requirements of each package, and preferably learn to run some analyses.
Specific Duties Include:
Accept CAD models in multiple formats from a variety of outside sources
Prepare incoming models for analysis by doing some or all of the following:
Defeaturing
Surface healing
Boolean operations
Reconstruction of missing or poor-quality components
Generate high quality meshes using multiple meshing programs based on unique requirements of different computational methods
Write scripts to speed the process of generating meshes of many different densities for a single geometry
Understand how CAD and mesh quality and attributes affect the ability of individual computational physics packages to compute correct results
Occasionally reverse engineer CAD components by laser scanning or approximating components based on photographs or CT scans
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor’s (or equivalent) with 4+ years’ experience
4 years’ experience with CAD
Functional experience at least one of the following CAD/meshing software packages: Solidworks, Capstone (CREATE-Genesis), CUBIT (Sandia National Labs), Rhinoceros 3D, CATIA, Hypermesh, AutoCAD, Patran, NASTRAN, NX (Siemens), Creo (PTC)
Ability to obtain a security clearance
Highly Desired Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, computer science, or related discipline
Active security clearance
Knowledge of or eagerness to learn computational analysis, scripting, and other related skills
