The ideal candidate has a strong background in mechanical engineering, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and CFD.
Responsibilities
- Lead technical engagement throughout the sales cycle, from discovery calls and product demos to proof-of-concept evaluations with prospective customers.
- Work directly with customers to understand their electronics cooling challenges, design workflows, and simulation needs at the package, board, and system level.
- Deploy Ansys simulation solutions, integrating Fluent, Icepak, or Mechanical into customer design processes and ensuring they deliver real engineering value.
- Test new Ansys releases on real industrial thermal problems, document what works, and create application best practices that get used across the customer base.
- Partner with product development teams to translate customer feedback into feature requests, workflow improvements, and product roadmap priorities.
- Deliver training sessions and consulting engagements that help customers get more out of Ansys tools, whether onsite, remote, or at industry events.

- At least 4 years in application engineering, customer support, or consulting roles where you worked directly with customers using engineering software.
- Strong technical grounding in fluid mechanics, CFD, and thermodynamics with hands-on application in electronics thermal management.
- Proficiency with Ansys tools such as Fluent, Icepak, or Mechanical, or equivalent experience with CAE, CAD, EDA, or PLM platforms.
- Experience integrating simulation into customer workflows at the package, board, or system level, not just running isolated analyses.
- Comfort traveling domestically up to 25% of the time, with flexibility to go up to 50% when customer needs require it.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with multiphysics simulation approaches like electro-thermal or thermo-mechanical coupling is a strong plus.
- Logical problem-solver with strong interpersonal and communication skills, fluent in English (written and spoken).
- Highly organized, self-motivated, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously with a sense of urgency.
- Business-savvy and professional, projecting confidence and credibility in all interactions.
- Collaborative team player who thrives in cross-functional environments and is willing to mentor others.
- Professional, driven to succeed, and results-focused, with a commitment to continuous improvement within a fast-paced, innovative company.
