Company

hirify.global is a high-technology organization developing precise and complex semiconductor equipment.

What you will do

• Translate system and module requirements into analysis objectives, load cases, acceptance criteria, and verification strategies.
• Develop analytical, finite-element, reduced-order, and system-level models for complex mechanical and multiphysics systems.
• Perform structural, thermal, dynamic, vibration, fluid, and coupled-physics analyses, including linear and nonlinear simulations.
• Verify and validate models through first-principles calculations, benchmarks, sensitivity and uncertainty assessments, and test correlation.
• Guide design, integration, qualification, and troubleshooting by identifying performance drivers, risks, margins, and root causes.
• Provide technical direction, peer review, mentoring, reusable methods, modeling standards, automation tools, and computational workflows.

Requirements

• At least five years of progressive experience in engineering analysis, computational mechanics, complex mechanical-system development, physical sciences, or a related technical field.
• Master’s degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Computational Engineering, Engineering Science, or a closely related discipline is strongly preferred; a bachelor’s degree with substantial directly relevant experience may be considered.
• Expertise in finite element methods, solid mechanics, numerical methods, computational modeling, and physics-based problem solving.
• Advanced experience with linear or nonlinear structural analysis, including contact, material or geometric nonlinearities, joints, stability, fatigue, or fracture.
• Expertise in at least one additional area such as structural dynamics, vibration, transient response, heat transfer, thermal distortion, computational fluid dynamics, or multiphysics simulation.
• Experience verifying and correlating analytical models with experimental or qualification-test data.
• Ability to establish, verify, validate, and defend modeling assumptions, methods, uncertainties, limitations, and conclusions.
• Ability to solve multidisciplinary problems and evaluate tradeoffs involving performance, manufacturability, serviceability, cost, safety, compliance, and schedule.
• Demonstrated collaborative leadership through technical direction, peer review, mentoring, or multidisciplinary coordination.
• Must be legally authorized to access controlled technology under United States Export Administration Regulations before beginning work.

Nice to have

• Experience with high-precision equipment, semiconductor equipment, opto-mechanical systems, mechatronics, aerospace systems, scientific instruments, or similarly complex products.
• Experience with optimization, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantification, probabilistic methods, or reduced-order modeling.
• Experience with ANSYS, Siemens NX/Simcenter, Abaqus, Nastran, or equivalent tools, together with Python, MATLAB, Mathematica, or similar technical computing environments.
• Potential to become a senior technical leader or analysis architect.

Culture & Benefits

• On-site collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams and attendance at in-person testing, training, meetings, and work-related events.
• Career-development opportunities across a wide range of engineering application areas.
• Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance, plus participation in the company 401(k) plan.
• Eight hours of vacation leave per month and 13 paid holidays annually.
• Reasonable accommodations are available for applicants and employees with disabilities.
