Senior Engineer - Fatigue & Durability

Do you want to help solve the world's most pressing challenges? Feeding the world's growing population and slowing climate change are two of the world's greatest challenges. AGCO is a part of the solution! Join us to make your contribution. AGCO is looking to hire candidates for the position of Senior Engineer - Fatigue & Durability

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Fatigue & Durability FEA Simulation Engineer to lead advanced fatigue life and structural durability assessments across a wide range of mechanical systems and components. In this role, you will be responsible for conducting finite element analysis (FEA) and applying fatigue simulation methodologies to predict and optimize the performance of welded and non-welded structures under real-world loading conditions.

Your primary focus will be on fatigue life prediction, durability evaluation, and welded joint assessment, ensuring compliance with internationally recognized standards such as BS 7608, AWS, IIW, and Eurocode. You will play a critical role in supporting robust product development by identifying potential failure locations, guiding design improvements, and integrating fatigue and durability considerations early in the design process.

You will lead simulation efforts to evaluate real-world load cases, identify potential failure points, and guide design improvements. This role requires deep technical expertise in fatigue analysis, strong proficiency in FEA tools ANSYS and experience with fatigue software nCode. You will collaborate closely with design, testing, and materials teams to ensure robust and reliable product development

This is a technical leadership role that requires deep analytical expertise, hands-on simulation experience, and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including design, testing, materials, and manufacturing

Your Impact 

Conduct fatigue and durability simulations using nCode DesignLife or equivalent fatigue software tools

Perform fatigue analysis based on Stress-life (S-N), Strain-life (ε-N), Vibration fatigue & Welded joint fatigue analysis

Apply fatigue theories (e.g., Goodman, Morrow, Smith-Watson-Topper) and cumulative damage rules (e.g., Palmgren-Miner) 

Build high-quality FEA models using ANSYS.

Correlate simulation results with physical test data from strain gauges, RLDA, or lab testing

Your Experience and Qualifications 

Bachelor or Master degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. 10 years of experience in fatigue and durability analysis using FEA tools.

Strong expertise in fatigue life prediction of welded structures and knowledge of relevant standards (e.g., BS 7608, AWS, IIW, Eurocode 3).

Proficiency in FEA software ANSYS and fatigue tools nCode Design life & Glyph

Experience in correlating simulation results with physical test data.

Proficiency in 3D CAD software (Creo & Windchill).Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with diverse stakeholders.
