Nvidia Senior Mechanical System Analyst 

United States, California 

96366625

What you’ll be doing:

The analyst will play a vital role in defining architectures and analyzing mechanical systems as part of the product development cycle.

• Perform structural and dynamic analysis

• Produce and maintain models generated from in-house and commercially available software codes that simulate mechanical loading conditions, dynamic environments(Shock&Vibration),and mechanism motions

• Perform loads development (primary structure and component level), shock and vibration environment determination, component and system-level testing, and data evaluation

• Document analysis through formal reports that are clear, detailed, and timely

• Prepare test plans/requirements for static, vibration, modal, and shock tests. Detail the results in post-test reports and provide evidence of correlation

• Present analysis reports and test results at program reviews

• Provide rapid analysis results to support conceptual studies and rapid prototype development

• Assess and propose new simulation strategies to improve product development

• Mentor junior engineers and cross-train other engineering fields

What we need to see:

• Master's degree in MechanicalEngineering/StructuralMechanics or equivalent experience; Ph.D. in MechanicalEngineering/StructuralMechanics preferred

• 3+ yrs of experience

• Robust understanding of Static/Structural Dynamics analysis and experience with finite element modeling

• Proficient with plastic and metallic structures fabricated by various manufacturing methods, general composite technology, and associated structural analysis

• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with adjacent teams (e.g., systems engineering, thermal, mechanical design, test) in a highly integrated team environment

• Experience with ANSYS, Abaqus, LS-Dyna, Matlab, CREO or similar modeling tools.

• Familiarity with modern substructure modeling, assembly technology, and component mode synthesis

• Creativity/innovationto implement root cause analysis related to failures of any aspect of a mechanical system

• Experience in magnetic systems analysis and motor design

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience in the planning and execution of static, vibration, acoustic, modal, and shock tests for server, consumer, or automotive hardware

• Experience evaluating designs using rigid body or flexible body analysis methods and tools

• Understanding of thermal and thermo-structural analyses

• Understanding of automotive, server, and consumer devices, statics, strength of materials, structural dynamics principles, and methods

• Proficient in programming and use of MATLAB (or similar) for analysis and data manipulation
