Research engineer position at Cenaero as software developer in fracture mechanics, Belgium

The position concerns contribution to the development of Morfeo, a manufacturing oriented finite element software. For any of the project activities, the candidate is expected to develop the numerical methodology up to industrial maturity. First of all, the candidate will contribute to the fracture analysis module of Morfeo. Morfeo relies on an innovative approach based on the extended finite element method (X-FEM) in order to easily handle complex industrial applications. Developments include general modeling of the crack propagation and the damage tolerant approach, contact, multi-crack analysis and parallel implementation of the algorithms. Targeted applications include e.g. determination of crack propagation paths on industrial large-scale components and fatigue analysis.

Cenaero (http://www.cenaero.be) is an applied research center focused on the development of advanced simulation technologies for aeronautics. Located within the Aerop^ole de Gosselies in Belgium, it employs about 50 highly skilled researchers working on virtual manufacturing, multi-scale material modeling, CFD-based multi-physics and optimization. To further grow its fracture mechanics research activity, Cenaero invites applications for a research engineer position at Cenaero headquarters in Belgium, available immediately.

As member of the Morfeo development team, the candidate will also have to tackle more general developments within the nite element software, write portable code, stick to development rules already in place and write relevant test cases.
