Mechanical (Finite Element) Simulation Engineer

About the role

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is hiring a Mechanical (Finite Element) Simulation Engineer in Aguadilla. The role is hybrid, with an average of 2 days per week spent in an HPE office. The engineer develops and applies advanced modeling and simulation techniques to support the design, development, validation, reliability and optimization of mechanical, thermal, electronic and system-level products, working with design, manufacturing, quality, reliability and supplier teams.

Key responsibilities

• Perform mechanical, thermal and reliability simulations using FEA tools such as ANSYS to evaluate and optimize component, assembly and system designs.
• Develop and maintain simulation models for semiconductor devices, electronic components, PCB assemblies, enclosures and complete systems.
• Conduct early-stage design assessments to identify reliability, quality, manufacturability and performance risks.
• Analyze design variations and manufacturing process impacts on reliability.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, reliability, manufacturing and quality engineering teams to solve technical challenges.
• Develop and recommend accelerated test methodologies, interpret test results and support root cause investigations of product quality and field failures.
• Evaluate material properties, constitutive models and failure mechanisms to improve product robustness.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or a related engineering discipline.
• 2-4 years of experience in engineering simulation, mechanical analysis or product development.
• Hands-on experience with ANSYS or equivalent FEA software.
• Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, materials behavior and engineering fundamentals.
• Knowledge of electronic assemblies, semiconductor technologies and manufacturing processes; familiarity with failure modes and mechanisms of components and assemblies.
• Advanced English level.

Required skills

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with ANSYS or equivalent software.
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and engineering analysis tools.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and presentation of technical findings.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a cross-functional environment.

What we offer

• Benefits supporting physical, financial and emotional wellbeing.
• Programs for personal and professional development.
• Inclusive workplace with flexibility to manage work and personal needs.
