Mechanical Simulation Engineer – Survivability

About the Company

Plasan is a global leader in survivability and armor solutions, protecting those who protect us across land, air, and sea.

With over 40 years of innovation, our people are driven by purpose, teamwork, and meaningful impact.

About the Role

We are looking for a Mechanical Simulation Engineer – Survivability (Simulation & Experiments) to join our R&D organization.

This role combines mechanical simulations and experimental work, supporting the development and validation of armored vehicle systems.

You will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, contributing to engineering decisions through simulation, testing, and data-driven analysis.

The position includes hands-on involvement in experiments and occasional multi-day field tests, as part of the system validation process.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform mechanical simulations to predict the behavior of armored vehicles under driving and blast loads (static and dynamic simulations, including rigid body modeling and finite element–based approaches)
• Define and support test plans based on simulation results, including participation in experiments and field tests (internal teams and external customers)
• Prepare simulation and test reports for R&D development projects, for internal use and customer-facing deliverables

Requirements

• B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering / Aerospace Engineering / Agricultural Engineering

from a recognized academic institution - mandatory

• Experience with mechanical simulation tools - mandatory
• Strong analytical skills and ability to write technical reports in English - mandatory
• Experience with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Solid Edge, CATIA, Creo or similar)
• M.Sc. in simulation, dynamics, or related fields - advantage
• Programming experience (MATLAB / Python / C++) - advantage
• Willingness to participate in experiments and occasional multi-day test activities
• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented R&D environment
