Description
- Parallel Systems is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer with expertise in dynamics, simulation, and CAD design to help us design the next generation of our self-propelled rail vehicles. This role will focus on designing and analyzing mechanical systems for performance, safety, and durability. Ideal candidates will have experience in vehicle dynamics and structural analysis, with a preference for those who have worked in railway or road vehicle applications
- Design and analyze vehicle structures, mechanisms, and actuated systems with a focus on dynamics, kinematics, and structural integrity
- Develop, optimize, and maintain CAD models for mechanical components and assemblies
- Conduct multibody dynamics simulations to assess system performance under real-world conditions
- Perform finite element analysis (FEA) for structural, fatigue, and modal performance
- Investigate and resolve mechanical failures to improve system reliability
- Support prototype development, testing, and validation of vehicle components as part of a multi-disciplinary team
- Strong understanding of mechanical vibrations, fatigue analysis, and structural mechanics
- Experience with multibody dynamics (MBD) simulation tools (Simpack, Adams, or equivalent)
- Experience working with mechanical systems in transportation, automotive, or railway applications
- 5+ years of experience in mechanical engineering with a focus on structures, dynamics, simulation, and machine design
- Strong proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, or similar)
- Expertise in finite element analysis (FEA) and computational simulation
- Ability to interpret and apply engineering standards and safety regulations
- Experience in railway vehicle dynamics, bogie design, or track interaction
- Experience with prototyping, manufacturing processes, and design for manufacturability (DFM)
- Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or similar scripting tools for simulation automation
- Knowledge of railway industry standards (EN, UIC, APTA, FRA, or similar)
