Job Title: Remote CAE / CFD / FEA Simulation Engineer
Source: reddit-r-forhire
About the Role
I am available for remote contract or full-time simulation work. I am a CAE engineer specializing in FEA, CFD, and structural analysis, providing an end-to-end workflow from model setup through validation and formal reporting.
Track Record
I have delivered simulation and structural engineering projects to clients worldwide, handling everything from scoping and milestone structuring to technical delivery and documentation. My experience spans industrial and academic clients across pipeline engineering, structural verification, forming/manufacturing, and fatigue analysis.
- Current standing: 5.0 rating, 100% completion on completed contracts.
- Screenshots of reviews available on request.
Technical Expertise
- CFD (ANSYS Fluent): Multiphase, turbulence modelling (k-omega SST), spray/DPM with breakup models, conjugate heat transfer, and validation against reference data.
- FEA / Structural (ANSYS Mechanical & APDL, ABAQUS, LS-DYNA): Nonlinear, static/modal/harmonic, random vibration, fatigue (low- and high-cycle), fire/thermal-structural, and limit-state design to Eurocodes.
- Multiphysics (COMSOL, two-way FSI, System Coupling): Coupled thermal/structural/flow simulations.
- Automation & Scripting: Python, MATLAB, APDL, SpaceClaim API; automated report generation (Word/docx).
Representative Work
- Two-way FSI of an S-bend fuel line.
- BAJA SAE spaceframe chassis FEA across 6 load cases.
- Stiffened-panel buckling optimization (DOE/RSM).
- Exhaust manifold CHT CFD.
- Natural gas pipeline hydraulic + economic screening with full MATLAB package and formal report.
- Structural fire analysis of steel beams to EN 1993-1-2.
- Textile-reinforced-concrete fatigue modelling in ABAQUS.
Delivery Standards
I provide clean, documented models plus a proper engineering report—not just a solved file. I flag data ambiguities as clarification questions before modelling rather than guessing.
Compensation
- Rate: $35/hr (flexible on fixed-scope projects; happy to quote per milestone).
Availability
- Capacity: Full-time, 40 hrs/week.
- Time Zones: Can overlap with US and EU business hours.
