Where can I find telecommuting job (FEA simulations) ? I was trying monster.com, dice.com, juju.com and few others without any success. What can you recommend ?
Thanks in advance for reply!

Never, but never question engineer's judgement

You might consider looking at signing on with a job-shop.

FEA carried out miles away from the designers and other engineers involved is no different from FEA carried out by a 3D modelling/CAD package. It adds no value.

1. Suggest you try consulting. The comment regarding being able to sell yourself is a key point.
2. I disagree that FEA carried out miles away or by a CAD package adds no value. Additionally, since you said you were looking for a job, I would contend that whether value is added or not is irrelavent. It could be argued that many people at many companies add no value yet that get paid good salaries each week.

Visiting the job websites isn't of no value but is limited, I got my current position from a resume I'd posted on one. I also got an interview at another place the same way. However I don't think I ever heard back from any places I actually applied to via one of the job sites. Likewise a lot of larger companies have online applications, I didn't hear back from most of those.
I got my first job by sending off resumes blind to companies listed in a relevant trade directory. To my mind this is similar to the google approach (so long as your search is targetted). So I might have to disagree slightly with Greg and say it's not useless but is limited, a lot will go straight into the round filing cabinet. At least try and get a name or failing that a job title. Just sending it blindly to HR will probably be the least effective.
Take a look at the EDD or equivalent website. Basically the govt unemployement office/agency. While they aren't typically overflowing with Engineering positions they have some.
Knowing someone, or someone who knows someone is usually a good way.
Sompting, I wouldn't say no value but I would think it's got issues.
KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

So it can be done. But notice, I was project managing the whole thing. If you just want to be able to import a solid model, press automesh, apply some boundary constraints and loads, press analyse, prepare shiny screen shots... there are a million people in India who can do exactly the same. Some of them will have written the software as well.
