Simulation Engineer – Technical Support

Location: Stockholm, Sweden (preferred) or Flekkefjord, Norway About the Role We are seeking a highly motivated Simulation Engineer to join our growing team developing advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software for the defence sector. In this role, you will become an expert user of IMPETUS, helping customers worldwide solve complex engineering challenges. You will work in a highly specialized technical environment alongside world-leading engineers and experts in computational mechanics, gaining exposure to a broad range of advanced simulation applications. The role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys technical problem-solving, continuous learning, and working with highly skilled colleagues. You will take ownership of technical challenges, collaborate closely with our development team, and help customers achieve reliable simulation results. Key Responsibilities Technical Support

• Provide advanced technical support to IMPETUS users through our ticket-based support system.
• Assist customers with simulation setup, troubleshooting, modelling approaches, and software functionality.
• Investigate simulation errors, unexpected results, and potential software bugs.
• Reproduce technical issues, test solutions, and collaborate with developers to resolve them.
• Guide customers on best practices and effective simulation workflows.

Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

• Develop and maintain Knowledge Base articles, tutorials, and technical documentation.
• Create example models and practical guidance for common simulation challenges.
• Turn recurring customer questions into reusable documentation and learning resources.

Cross-Team Collaboration

• Work closely with R&D, Revenue, and other technical specialists to resolve customer challenges.
• Communicate customer feedback and contribute to improvements in software functionality and usability.
• Support verification, benchmarking, and testing activities when relevant.

Professional Development Opportunities Depending on your interests and strengths, the role may develop toward:

• Technical training, workshops, and customer onboarding.
• Participation in international conferences, user meetings, and industry events.
• Greater customer responsibility and direct engagement with leading defence organizations.
• Deeper specialization in advanced simulation methods or software development.

Qualifications

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, Computational Mechanics, or a related field.
• Ideally 2–3 years of professional experience with numerical simulation, FEA, CFD, SPH, or related engineering disciplines.
• Good understanding of engineering mechanics, numerical simulation, and material modelling.
• Experience with IMPETUS, LS-DYNA, Abaqus, ANSYS, Radioss, or similar simulation software.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly.
• Fluent in English; additional languages and defence industry experience are advantages.

Experience with impact, blast, ballistics, structural mechanics, or other advanced simulation applications is valuable, but broad technical ability and a willingness to learn are equally important. Personal Qualities We are looking for someone who enjoys solving challenging technical problems and takes responsibility for finding practical solutions. We are looking for someone who is:

• Analytical and solution-oriented, with strong problem-solving skills.
• Self-driven and structured, able to manage multiple tasks independently.
• Curious and eager to learn, with a broad technical interest.
• Collaborative and customer-oriented, with good communication skills.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to work alongside world-leading engineers and specialists in advanced computational mechanics.
• A highly skilled technical environment with exceptional opportunities for learning and professional development.
• Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art simulation software used by leading defence companies and research institutions worldwide.
• Opportunities to engage with internationally recognized universities and research communities.
• Opportunities for international travel, including conferences, customer meetings, and industry events.
• A collaborative, low-hierarchy culture where knowledge sharing, teamwork and individual contribution is valued.
• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Five weeks of annual vacation, plus additional paid time off between Christmas and New Year and during Easter week.
• Flexible working arrangements and a healthy work-life balance.
• An active social environment with company gatherings and events.

Why This Role Matters You will play an important role in helping engineers and researchers worldwide make effective use of advanced simulation technology. By solving technical challenges, sharing knowledge, and working closely with our development team, you will contribute directly to the quality, reliability, and continuous improvement of IMPETUS software.
