Account Managers/Sales Engineers (Japan)

Are you driven by the challenge of technology sales? Third Wave Systems is searching for highly motivated Account Managers and Sales Engineers to sell our CAE software products to members of the metal manufacturing industry through our Japanese distributor. The desire and energy to grow sales within a targeted organization is crucial. Abilities to identify customer needs and grasp and communicate technical knowledge and terms are a must. Qualified individuals will be expected to build relationships with key executives, departmental managers and technical users; understand a customer's business objectives; and map solution strategies consisting of software, hardware, implementation and training. Requirements are a BS in engineering or equivalent, minimum of 3 years technical sales experience with CAD/CAM/CAE packages, familiarity with metal cutting processes, and Japanese citizenship with English comprehension. Position available in Japan.

Applications Engineers (Japan)

Develop, design and apply CAE tools to metal cutting processes, contributing to process improvement/integrity, report generation, and software systems support and training. Perform finite element analysis and formulation work, utilizing CAD/CAM technologies (Unigraphics, AutoCAD, and Pro/ENGINEER). Qualified individuals will use mathematical models to develop computer simulations of machining processes; and conduct experiments to study effects of tooling geometry, workpiece material, and process conditions in metal removal/machining operations. Requirements are a MS degree or equivalent in mechanical engineering, manufacturing systems, or closely-related field; minimum of 6 months engineering, industrial or academic experience involving machining processes, CAE tools (FEA), CAD/CAM tools (Unigraphics, AutoCAD and Pro/ENGINEER), CNC programming and machine tool operation; and Japanese citizenship with English comprehension. Position available in Japan.

Senior Project Engineers

A member of the Applications Engineering team, position responsibilities include applying CAE tools (analytical, empirical and finite element based) to metal cutting processes for improvement, project tracking, report writing, and supervision of engineering staff. Candidate requirements include a BS or MS degree in mechanical engineering or related field; and 7 years industrial experience in metal cutting processes such as turning, milling, drilling, CAE tools (finite element analysis) and CAD/CAM tools (Unigraphics, CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER). Strong written and oral communication skills and organizational skills are a must.
