Simulation Engineer – Plastics Processing

About the role

As a member of the Ascend Performance Materials team, the simulation Engineer will conduct injection molding process simulations using Autodesk Moldflow to support product development, material selection, and customer applications involving polyamide materials. This role will provide technical expertise in mold filling, packing, cooling, warpage prediction, fiber orientation, and manufacturability assessment.

What you'll do

• Conduct injection molding simulations including fill, pack, cool, warp, fiber orientation, sink mark, weld line, air trap
• Collaborate with regional CAE and application development engineers to develop, review, and manage material characterization data, simulation models, technical analyses
• Evaluate part designs, gate locations, runner systems, cooling layouts, and processing conditions to improve manufacturability, part quality, and cycle time
• Validate and correlate simulation results with molding trials, dimensional measurements, and customer production data to improve model accuracy and predictive capability
• Plan, execute, and manage simulation activities to support project timelines and key customer development milestones

What you need

• 7–13 years in software engineering
• B.Tech or B.E.
