CAD & CAE Solution Engineer

Role Description & Responsibilities

Dassault Systèmes is seeking a CAD & CAE Solution Engineer consultant to help customers solve complex engineering challenges through advanced modeling with CATIA tools and collaboration with simulation experts using SIMULIA tools, as a member of the MODSIM Global Services team. MODSIM stands for modeling and simulation and is powered by the CATIA and SIMULIA brands of Dassault Systèmes, utilizing unified data exchange among CATIA and SIMULIA apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The consultant can be based at any Dassault Systèmes location within the United States.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with simulation experts to ensure geometric models effectively support multi-scale and multi-physics simulation workflows that may require parameterization and partitioning of models for suitable finite element meshes. You will also leverage Dassault Systèmes AI capabilities and other emerging technologies to automate MODSIM processes and surrogate model development, accelerating product development or improvement for customers.

• Architect, develop, and optimize unified MODSIM geometric workflows for enterprise customers across multiple industries.

• Provide technical consulting and guidance related to advanced geometric modeling, parametric design, and engineering workflows.

• Apply and deploy CATIA solutions and the latest capabilities within the Dassault Systèmes portfolio.

• Develop robust, parameter-driven geometric models designed to support simulation and machine learning workflows.

• Collaborate with SIMULIA experts to integrate CAD and CAE processes and deliver connected geometric and multi-physics simulation workflows.

• Leverage Dassault Systèmes AI Virtual Companions and other AI-enabled technologies to automate engineering activities, including generative design, part and assembly creation, and 2D-to-3D conversion.

• Develop and implement Engineering Templates and automated engineering processes using scripting and programming technologies.

• Partner directly with customers and internal stakeholders to understand engineering challenges, define technical requirements, and recommend effective solutions.

• Communicate complex technical concepts to audiences with varying levels of engineering and technical expertise.

• Support customer engagements that may require occasional travel within the United States.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.

• 8+ years of technical engineering experience involving geometric modeling, parametric design, or related engineering applications.

• Strong experience developing geometric models suitable for finite element analysis and simulation workflows.

• Advanced understanding of parametric Boundary Representation (B-Rep), topology, surface modeling, and computational geometry.

• Strong hands-on experience with CATIA products; experience with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is highly preferred.

• Experience developing Engineering Templates and automating engineering processes.

• Programming or scripting experience with one or more of the following:

  • Visual Scripting
  • EKL (Enterprise Knowledge Language)
  • KAC (Knowledge Architecture Component)
  • C++
  • Python

• Strong understanding of how geometric modeling decisions can impact meshing, mesh convergence, and nonlinear structural simulation.

• Experience working with MODSIM, CAD/CAE integration, or multi-physics engineering workflows is strongly preferred.

• Exposure to AI-enabled engineering workflows, surrogate modeling, machine learning, or engineering automation is a plus.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical consulting skills.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to work effectively in a global and cross-functional environment.

• Ability and willingness to travel only when necessary (approximately 10% for senior staff).
