JOB PROFILE CALCULATION ENGINEER (M/F/D)

Calculation engineers: optimising developments by means of simulation calculations

Calculation engineers use simulation software to carry out computational experiments. Based on the related results, they evaluate existing systems and make precise statements about, for instance, the resilience of materials or the stability of structures. These results also allow a reduction of the required working time and costs, an optimisation of the quality of the practical measurements and an acceleration of the development processes.

Calculation engineers: tasks and activities

The tasks of computational engineers are manifold. They simulate and analyse all forms of product development or product optimisation using special digital simulation techniques. Through theoretical analyses, they contribute significantly to the optimisation of developments and also help to make products safer and more durable.

In addition to documenting the measurements, the evaluation and analysis of the results are also part of the everyday work of a calculation engineer. Based on the results, they develop solutions for technical problems and coordinate them with customers, suppliers or production. The most important tasks of calculation engineers include:

✓ Preparing and carrying out digital simulations and calculations
✓ Evaluating the results
✓ Presenting and discussing the results with the responsible technical departments
✓ Documentation
✓ Developing technical solutions for special customer requirements

A calculation engineer should have these hard skills and soft skills

In addition to technical expertise, it is important for calculation engineers to be proficient in the use of common simulation software and software for 3-D visualisation. Strong communication skills and a very good command of German and English are a prerequisite for smooth communication with the various specialist departments and customers.
Necessary soft skills for everyday work are:

Flexibility
Structured and independent way of working
Ability to work in a team
Reliability
Solution-oriented

You need these hard skills for this job:

Analytical problem-solving thinking
Confident use of Office applications
Quality awareness
Organisational talent

Calculation Engineer Salary: This is what a calculation engineer earns on average
