Vaderstad is an equal opportunity employer, that values and respects diversity in its workforce. All employment decisions are made on the basis of qualifications, merit and business needs.

The FEA Analyst supports Väderstad’s Product & Development team by performing advanced structural, fatigue, and durability simulations on agricultural equipment and components. This role ensures designs meet performance, safety, and reliability standards before physical testing. The analyst collaborates closely with design engineers, test engineers, and product specialists to optimize product performance and reduce development cycle time.

Education/Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Coursework or specialization in finite element methods, structural mechanics, or computational modeling is an asset.
  • 2–3 years of experience performing FEA in a manufacturing environment, ideally in agricultural equipment, off-highway machinery, heavy equipment, or industrial machinery.
  • Proficiency with FEA tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, HyperMesh, OptiStruct, or similar CAE platforms.
  • Experience with other virtual analysis/simulation tools is an asset (e.g., CFD, DEM, MBD)
  • Experience with agricultural equipment or heavy steel structures is an asset.
  • Familiarity with fatigue standards, weld analysis, and durability prediction is an asset.
  • Exposure to test engineering, instrumentation, or data acquisition systems is an asset.
  • Knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics.
  • Knowledge of and experience with current farming practices and equipment an asset
  • Familiarity and experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an asset.
  • Familiarity and experience with Discrete Element Model (DEM) is an asset.
  • Safety training an asset
  • LEAN training an asset

Why Work with Us?

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
