And it's why we're investing in our people and our technology like never before in our 175-year history. Here the world's brightest minds are tackling the world's biggest challenges. If you believe one person can make the world a better place, we'll put you to work. RIGHT NOW.

Title: Finite Element Analysis Engineer

Primary Location: Mexico (MX) - Nuevo León JD Shared Svcs-Monterrey

Function: Engineering (CA)

John Deere is a foremost leader in the ag equipment business, and we continue to put a solid stamp on other industries. For over 150 years, the company's portfolio of groundbreaking products has grown to include industries related to and outside of agriculture, including Turf, Construction and Forestry and Wind Technologies. The image of John Deere is no longer that of a signature green tractor meandering across a field; it's been replaced with an image of acceleration, swift progress, and innovative leaping toward the company's 200th year. The product line alone serves as proof with advances in machine performance, equipment automation, fleet management, and John Deere's ongoing investment in emerging markets.

Note: All candidates should have their tax situation certificate (Constancia de Siituación Fiscal) up to date to be eligible for the hiring process.

Main Responsibilities:

• Conduct linear and non-linear structural analysis on agricultural tractor components and systems utilizing FEA applications; Interpret and apply design loads and goals information in virtual analysis with appropriate boundary conditions; Determine if components meet strength and durability acceptance criteria per Deere requirements; Collaborate with product development engineers on design revisions necessary to meet strength and durability requirements per program schedules and cost targets; Improve structural analysis methods and procedures through constant efforts to correlate virtual analysis with experimental and field test results; Develop and maintain acceptance criteria on tractor-related structural activities utilizing test data and experience.

OR:

• Perform structural analysis for off road vehicles components, looking for potential failures due fatigue or yielding, stresses and large deformations.
• Lead the preparation of virtual models, pre-processing and post processing and it's preparation and conducting correlation.
• Prepare scripts in APDL and Phyton for automation of the simulation tools.
• Develop research topics for integration of new technologies or propose methodologies to conduct correlation.
• Working together with senior design engineer to define the optimization of tractor components.
• Documenting and proposing solutions to field issues.

What Skills You Need:

• Apply structural analysis simulation techniques to solve large, complex non-linear (geometry and material) FE models using ANSYS Workbench suite on cloud computing services on agricultural vehicles.
• Collaborate with design engineers to meet strength, cost and schedule goals.
• Experience in the use of PTC-Creo and ANSYS SpaceClaim CAD applications to prepare geometry for FE models.
• Experience in Python scripting to facilitate automated ANSYS Workbench features via the ANSYS Customization Toolkit.
• Apply knowledge of Agricultural tractor operations and functions for the purpose of applying correct boundary conditions to FE simulation models.

What Makes You Stand Out:

• Knowledge of Product Design and Product Delivery Processes
• Fundamental understanding of machine forms relevant to Ag or other Heavy Equipment.
• Knowledge/familiarity with machines manufactured by competitors.
• Skill in using Part Data Management systems.
• FEA Experience.
• Agronomic Knowledge.
• Experience in design for manufacturing.
• Experience in FEA analysis, Materials, design, and optimization.
• Domain in FEA software like ANSYS, Abaqus, Hyper mesh.

Education:

• Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Agricultural Engineering.
