Application & Support Engineer, High Frequency Electromagnetic Simulation, Antennas

DescriptionPADT is seeking an engineer with a strong background in computational electromagnetics and high-frequency simulation to support customers using Ansys HFSS and related tools. This role is not focused on physical antenna fabrication or test-lab execution. Instead, it centers on solving advanced EM problems through simulation, modeling, and analysis, and guiding customers in developing accurate, efficient, and multiphysics-aware workflows.Essential FunctionsYou will collaborate with designers, researchers, and product development teams across industries such as wireless, aerospace, automotive, medical, and communications—helping them understand EM behavior, optimize product designs, and integrate simulation-driven decisions into their development process. Essential duties and responsibilities include the following:Providing on-going technical support to PADT customers working with Ansys HFSS and related high-frequency simulation toolsTraining and mentoring, from existing or custom-written material, customers and prospects on software applications or use casesConducting in-person and virtual meetings with customersAssisting in the development and generation of formal sales proposals to ensure technical accuracyCoordinate and assist the software sales team in the delivery of technical content such as demonstrations, workflow definitions, defining success criteria, and estimating value/ROI of softwareMaintaining customer relationships in the form of updating presentations, periodic meetings, or account reviews with existing stakeholdersProviding expert advice on areas of expertise to customers and colleaguesDeveloping technical marketing material for ANSYS including tutorials, blog postings, and videosOther duties as assigned RequirementsMaster of Science, higher Degree in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experienceStrong understanding of: High-frequency electromagnetic theory Antenna theory (conceptual + simulation focused, not fabrication) Wave propagation, transmission lines, EM boundary conditions, materialsAwareness of simulation connectivity to other physics/design aspects (e.g. thermal, reliability, NVH, optical effects)Minimum of 2 Years of experience using Ansys HFSS for antenna applicationsAbility to work effectively in both independent and diverse team environmentsExcellent problem-solving skills and ability to develop practical engineering solutions for difficult problemsExceptional customer service aptitude, as well as communication and presentation skillsProficiency with Microsoft Office tools to include PowerPoint, Word, and ExcelAvailable for occasional travel (about 30%) Preferred3.0 GPA or higher - MS or PhD degree involving high frequency simulation a plusExperience in antenna design with Ansys tools including HFSS and Optimetrics or other competitorsExperience in antenna testing is beneficialExperience with transmission theory, EMI/EMC concerns, board level SI or PI analysisPrior experience in physical testing/validation/manufacturing a plusPrior training/teaching experience is a plusExperience with non-Ansys high frequency electromagnetics tools is beneficialFamiliarity with common programming languages (C, C++, Python, etc.)This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information.
