Altair Engineering, a global provider of simulation technology and engineering services, today announced an expansion of its presence in Huntsville, Alabama, one of the major centres of aerospace research and development in the United States.
The new office, only a short distance from NASA's Marshall Space Center, will provide local aerospace engineers with free training courses on Altair’s HyperWorks computer-aided engineering tools, along with technical services support.
The site will also support Altair's growing business with aerospace, defense and related industry sectors in the Tennessee Valley.
"Altair's new office represents not only an investment in the Huntsville area, as we plan to add positions locally, but also an investment in the greater aerospace industry as we provide engineering technologies and services to enhance the nation's war-fighter capabilities and support the space program," said Joe Sorovetz, managing director for Altair Engineering.
"In addition, Altair's Aero Academy will provide free training courses over the next year to Huntsville-area aerospace engineers who use our HyperWorks computer-aided engineering tools."
Altair's Huntsville office is expected to serve as a resource for many major aerospace companies and their suppliers in the Tennessee Valley, as well as for NASA itself. The office currently offers fulltime application engineering and Altair will also place technical sales and services support in Huntsville to provide full service to customers locally.
Aerospace companies across North America and Europe rely on HyperWorks tools to create and analyze computer simulations that dramatically reduce development time for aerospace structures and engines and improve the accuracy of their design.
