## Description

You are an experienced aerospace engineer with a passion for solving complex engineering challenges in the aerospace and defense communities. You thrive in fast-paced environments and excel at collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver tailored solutions to customers. You have a keen understanding of technical requirements and can translate them into actionable strategies using advanced software tools.

**Responsibilities**

- Lead technical discovery, product demonstrations, training, and proof-of-concept evaluations for Digital Mission Engineering software (Systems Tool Kit, Orbit Determination Tool Kit, Test & Evaluation Tool Kit) with aerospace and defense customers in Southern California

- Work onsite with customers to deploy software, implement best practices, and solve real-world mission simulation and systems engineering problems

- Design and develop custom integration code, automation scripts, and user interfaces in Python, C++, Java, or MATLAB to connect Ansys tools into customer workflows

- Collaborate with Account Managers to identify and drive new growth opportunities within existing accounts, translating customer technical requirements into clear value propositions

- Partner with product development teams to translate field feedback into product roadmap priorities and test new releases against industrial use cases

- Deliver training sessions and consulting engagements that help customers adopt system-level solutions involving model-based systems engineering, design optimization, and simulation process management

- Support field marketing efforts by authoring technical content, presenting at industry conferences, and representing the company in the aerospace and defense community

**The Impact You Will Have**

- Enable aerospace and defense customers to adopt Digital Mission Engineering workflows that accelerate their design cycles and improve mission outcomes

- Drive measurable revenue growth in key Southern California accounts by expanding software adoption across new programs and organizations

- Build long-term customer relationships that turn one-time software purchases into strategic partnerships and multi-year deployments

- Influence product direction by surfacing real customer needs that shape the next generation of Ansys systems and platform tools

- Reduce time-to-value for customers by delivering integration solutions that connect high-fidelity simulation models into system-level workflows

- Strengthen Ansys' position in the aerospace and defense market by becoming a trusted technical advisor to program managers and senior engineers

- Create reusable solutions and best practices that scale across the broader customer base and improve how the applications engineering team operates

**Requirements**

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or related field with 5+ years of professional experience, or Master's with 3+ years, or PhD

- Demonstrated experience using or supporting engineering software in a customer-facing role such as application engineering, consulting, or technical support

- Programming ability in one or more of the following: Python, C++, C#, Java, or MATLAB, with a track record of writing integration code or automation scripts

- This position requires a government Top Secret or TS/SCI security clearance. You must be a U.S. citizen for consideration.

- Strong technical communication skills, you can explain a complex system-level tradeoff to a customer in a way that makes sense and moves the conversation forward

- Willingness to travel domestically up to 25% of the time to customer sites, conferences, and internal meetings

- Experience with Digital Mission Engineering software (STK, ODTK, TETK) or similar tools in process integration, optimization, systems engineering, and mission simulation. PLM, PDM, SPDM, or CAD are strong pluses.
