Sr CAE Engineer, Material Modeling

Your Job

Molex is seeking a world class, self-directed Sr.

CAE Engineer to develop advanced FEA modeling techniques for glass fiber reinforced plastic (e.g.

LCP) materials used in high-speed datacom interconnect products, and to develop next generation high-speed interconnect product.

This role requires in-depth understanding the behavior of glass fiber reinforced plastic materials, as well as relevant simulation experience using commercially available FEA tools.

Our Team

Molex creates connections for life by enabling technologies that transform the future and improve lives.

With a presence in more than 40 countries, Molex offers a complete range of connectivity products, services and solutions for the data communications, medical, industrial, automotive and consumer electronics industries.

What You Will Do


* Characterize the mechanical properties of glass fiber-reinforced plastic materials (e.g., LCP).

Develop FEA modeling techniques to accurately simulate these mechanical characteristics and correlate the results with experimental tests.


* Model and simulate the prediction of fiber orientation during injection molding process of polymer composite.

Map the predicted fiber orientations and calculated material properties to Abaqus for structural finite element analysis.


* Lead the development of new products and direct the activities of multifunctional team(s) according to the priorities set by engineering management.


* Conduct and coordinate FEA simulations for high-speed interconnect systems.


* Recommend changes in designs or technical procedures.


* Provide input, ideas, and suggestions to create effective structural design guidance and documentations.


* Work in laboratory environment to obtain material property and capture force-displacement curve using Instron machine.


* Stay updated on emerging technologies in Mechanical Engineering for Data Center products, drive research in areas including interference fit, thermal aging and anisotropic material modeling.


* Publish technical papers and patents.
