Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Senior Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineer to support the development of next-generation Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems.
The successful candidate will lead structural and thermo‑mechanical analyses of high‑temperature components and assemblies used in SOFC hot sections and Balance of Plant (BoP) equipment operating in the 500–800°C temperature range.
Key Responsibilities Perform structural, thermal, and thermo‑mechanical finite element analyses of SOFC hot‑zone components and assemblies.
Develop and validate FEA models for hot boxes and insulated enclosures, manifolds and ducting systems, heat exchangers, burners and combustion equipment, flanges and bolted joints, bellows and expansion joints, high‑temperature support structures, and piping and gas distribution systems.
Evaluate component performance under steady‑state and transient thermal loading, thermal gradients, internal and external pressure loads, mechanical loads and constraints, thermal expansion, fatigue and thermal cycling, creep and stress relaxation, and buckling and stability conditions.
Define and apply realistic boundary conditions based on system operating requirements. Support material selection and design optimization for elevated‑temperature service. Correlate simulation
