CAE Application Support Engineer

Day to Day:

In this role, you will be responsible for the daily maintenance, support, and optimization of enterprise-level CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) applications and the infrastructure they run on. Your day will typically involve monitoring the health and performance of simulation environments, managing job scheduling systems like LSF, and ensuring that CAE tools are properly installed, configured, and licensed across both client and server systems. Youll write and maintain scripts using shell languages such as Korn shell, C Shell, or Perl to automate routine tasks and perform system health checks. A key part of your responsibilities will include troubleshooting application issues, maintaining license servers, and collaborating with engineering teams to ensure their simulation workloads run efficiently. Youll also document system configurations, track outages, and contribute to process improvements, all while adhering to change management protocols and providing high-quality technical support through a ticketing system.
