Niche FEA/Fortran skillset reduces applicants despite a senior generalist title in a metro location.
Highly domain-specific skills (FEA, Fortran, nonlinear mechanics) limit cross-industry transferability.
Requires PhD, specialized FEA experience and specific languages, so hiring filters will be strict.
