+ Defeaturing
+ Surface healing
+ Boolean operations
+ Reconstruction of missing or poor-quality components
* Generate high quality meshes using multiple meshing programs based on unique requirements of different computational methods
* Write scripts to speed the process of generating meshes of many different densities for a single geometry
* Understand how CAD and mesh quality and attributes affect the ability of individual computational physics packages to compute correct results
* Occasionally reverse engineer CAD components by laser scanning or approximating components based on photographs or CT scans
Required Qualifications:
* Bachelor’s (or equivalent) with 4+ years’ experience
* 4 years’ experience with CAD
* Functional experience at least one of the following CAD/meshing software packages: Solidworks, Capstone (CREATE-Genesis), CUBIT (Sandia National Labs), Rhinoceros 3D, CATIA, Hypermesh, AutoCAD, Patran, NASTRAN, NX (Siemens), Creo (PTC)
