Simulation Engineer

Hardware · San Francisco Bay Area · On-site · Full-time · $130k - $210k + equity

Lead thermal and structural simulation for the Ditto glove. Identify failure modes in modeling so mechanical iterations are informed before they reach hardware.

What you'll do

  • Build and validate thermal models for sensors, batteries, and enclosures.
  • Develop structural FEA models for stress, fatigue, and stiffness under repeated wear.
  • Correlate simulation results with bench test data and refine model fidelity.
  • Run DOE and sensitivity studies that drive mechanical design decisions.
  • Present technical reports and visualizations in design reviews.
  • Automate simulation workflows where it delivers meaningful time savings.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related field.
  • 5+ years in thermal, structural, or dynamics simulation.
  • FEA/CFD proficiency (ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, or similar).
  • Strong fundamentals in heat transfer, materials, and mechanics.
  • Python or MATLAB scripting for automation and post-processing.
