The essential functions of the job include, but are not limited to, the following:



  • Utilize finite element techniques to perform static, vibratory, and thermal analysis for both linear and nonlinear analyses;

  • Link thermal, mechanical and vibratory finite element solutions to produce life calculations, e.g. low cycle fatigue (LCF), high cycle fatigue (HCF), and thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) calculations;

  • Provide timely analytical solutions to evaluate mechanical configurations from a structural/lifting viewpoint;

  • Develop structural improvements to components, together with the engineering team;

  • Develop components for lifetime calculation algorithms for LCF, HCF, and TMF predictions;

  • Verification/benchmarking of analytical results to test data/instrumentation in order to fine-tune the analysis techniques;

  • Present recommendations to internal and external customers, including both technical and managerial communities;

  • Research and advice about new potential development and innovation opportunities;

  • Build and maintain relations with third parties (suppliers, parent/sister companies);

  • Cooperate with the Engineering group of companies in the Ansaldo Group;

  • Provide technical support to the commercial department.
