As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work — both in and out of the office. ŌURA is seeking a skilled and detail-oriented FEA (Finite Element Analysis) Engineer to join our product design engineering team. You will be responsible for performing structural and dynamic simulations to optimize the design and performance of our wearable devices. Your work will directly impact the reliability, durability, and user comfort of our products. What You'll Do: FEA Modeling: Develop and validate FEA models of components and assemblies using appropriate software (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus). Structural Analysis: Perform linear and non-linear static and dynamic analyses to evaluate stress, strain, and deformation under various loading conditions Drop Test Simulation: Simulate drop test scenarios to evaluate product robustness and identify potential failure points. Optimization: Use FEA results to guide design optimization and improve product performance, reliability, and weight. Correlation: Help drive correlation of FEA results with physical test data to validate models and improve accuracy. Documentation: Prepare clear and concise reports summarizing FEA results and recommendations. Collaboration: Work closely with product design engineers, mechanical engineers, and materials engineers. Software Development: Develop and maintain scripts and workflows to automate FEA processes. We would love to consider
