Job Summary

Lead presales engineering for CAE simulation focused on multi-body dynamics across automotive, aerospace, and defense. Translate customer design challenges into simulation-driven solutions; demonstrate solver capabilities, develop PoCs, and architect end-to-end CAE workflows (geometry prep to post-processing) for on-prem HPC or cloud. Collaborate with sales, product management, and RD to align offerings with customer workflows and drive technical and business wins.

Location: United States

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Communications, PR & Community

Key Responsibilities

•Partner directly with sales teams to drive technical strategy throughout the sales cycle, translating complex customer engineering challenges into simulation-driven solutions that enable both a technical win and a business win.
•Deliver high-impact technical presentations and demonstrations reflecting real-world engineering scenarios, such as structural integrity validation, lightweighting, thermal management, and aerodynamic performance, demonstrating solver accuracy, robustness, and workflow efficiency.
•Develop and execute advanced proof-of-concept (PoC) studies using customer-specific CAD geometry, material properties, boundary conditions, and load cases to validate simulation accuracy and demonstrate measurable engineering outcomes.
•Own the technical sales lifecycle from requirements discovery through validation, ensuring alignment between customer product design challenges and the capabilities of CAE tools, solver technologies, and simulation workflows.
•Lead technical objection handling and support RFIs/RFPs with highly technical responses, including methodologies, V&V approaches, and benchmarking data.

Travel: Medium travel

Key Requirements

•Presales of CAE simulation software with focus on multi-body dynamics (e.g., Adams, Adams-Car, Romax) given customer contexts across automotive, aerospace, defense, and heavy equipment.
•Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals (solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, materials science, dynamics) to engage with customer design and analysis teams.
•Ability to understand product design and validation workflows for multi-body dynamics including linear/nonlinear FEA, fatigue, durability, crash, NVH and CFD (aerodynamics, thermal management, conjugate heat transfer, multiphase flow).
•Experience in engineering design and simulation of complex systems to position CAE tools as a core enabler of digital product development and design optimization.
•Ability to own the technical sales lifecycle from requirements discovery through validation, aligning customer challenges with CAE tool capabilities and workflows.
