Engineering Structures Impact Factor Jobs in Minnesota

Company Description

Epsilon FEA, LLC specializes in providing design and analysis services using numerical predictions through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. With a focus on accuracy and cost-efficiency, the company leverages extensive experience and close collaboration with clients to customize solutions that minimize risk while adopting the latest simulation technologies.

Role Description

We regularly support niche and advanced technologies across many industries. Our projects frequently involve new product domains, unfamiliar requirements, and evolving toolsets. This role is for someone who thrives on continuous learning and first-principles problem solving.

This position requires someone practiced at client-facing project estimation and execution to budget, and comfortable engaging in fast-paced, technical discussions with experienced engineers and decision-makers.

Role Overview

50% – Advanced Simulation (Hands-On) with ANSYS

• Nonlinear FEA (contact, plasticity, fasteners), including fatigue
• Dynamics (shock & vibration)
• Thermal analysis
• CFD experience helpful but not required

You should be comfortable building, defending, and clearly explaining complex models — not simply operating software.

25% – Technical Oversight & Method Integrity

• Write SOWs based on customer conversations, balancing project goals, cost, and risk, and identify creative cost-effective pathways to achieve technical objectives.
• Ensure rigor and error assessment across multiple physics domains (fatigue, plasticity, abrasion, dynamics, thermal, CFD, DEM, implicit methods, etc.)
• Leverage AI tools where appropriate to improve workflow and insight

Success in this role requires strong engineering judgment, the ability to synthesize information quickly, and respond clearly during live technical discussions.

25% – Operational & Business Leadership

• Scope development, quoting, project management, invoicing
• Forecasting and vendor management
• Compliance (ITAR, CMCC, quality systems)
• Systems planning (IT and archiving)
• Marketing materials and website technical content
• Business development support
• Strategic planning

We are willing to develop the right candidate in these areas. You should, however, understand how engineering services firms operate — including utilization, scope risk, and client communication.

Compensation & Structure

This is a full-time, hybrid (remote & in-office in Minneapolis, MN) position with schedule flexibility. Compensation structure is flexible for the right candidate and may include:

• Hourly or salary structure
• Performance-based incentives and profit-sharing

Qualifications:

Bachelors degree in engineering

3+ years experience using ANSYS tools for FEA/CFD

10+ years experience in product development

This position involves access to information subject to U.S. export control laws, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and U.S. nuclear regulatory requirements (including 10 CFR Parts 810 and 110). Employment is contingent upon the applicant’s ability to access export-controlled information in accordance with these regulations.
