Key Responsibilities:

Structural & Durability Simulation

• Perform structural, durability, and thermal simulations for humanoid robot components using finite element (FE) methods.

• Build high-quality FE models of robot structures (frame, joints, limbs, battery housing, gearboxes) using ANSA or similar pre-processing tools.

• Conduct stress, deformation, modal, thermal, and load-path analyses to ensure structural safety and thermal efficiency under dynamic robot motions.

• Identify potential failure modes and provide design optimization recommendations to meet strength, durability, and thermal performance targets.

Correlation & Validation

• Compare and correlate simulation results with physical testing to improve model accuracy and reliability.

• Support test planning and define structural, thermal, and operational load cases for robot motions, impacts, drops, and repetitive cycles.

Collaboration

• Work closely with mechanical design, test, electronics, thermal, and control engineering teams to ensure alignment of simulation results with physical testing.

• Participate in continuous improvement of modeling, meshing, and simulation methodology for high-performance robotic systems.
