CAE Analysis Engineer

Job Description:

• Develop finite element models for analysis and optimization for both crashand durability load cases; Perform linear and nonlinear analysis on a range of structural components from subsystems to complete vehicles
• Perform computer simulations related to vehicle frontal crash, side impact, roof strength, and HV battery systems on a vehicle level and verifying the results from the simulations comply with multiple various crash and durability safety requirements
• Challenge established CAE methods and processes to improve efficiency and accuracy
• Use CAE tools to optimize performance for the body, battery, closures, chassis, and other sub-systems
• Guide world-class engineering teams with design direction based on your analyses
• Quickly learn the tools necessary to execute, and modify, or create new tools as necessary

What You’ll Bring

• Detailed and applied knowledge of Finite Element Analysis, Applied Solid Mechanics, Material Science and Numerical Methods in a product development environment
• Detailed and applied software experience in CAE pre-processors, solvers, and post- processors in a product development environment. ANSA, PRIMER, LS-DYNA, HyperWorks and META preferred
• Experience working with aluminum, steel, composite structures, and a variety of advanced joining methods for crashworthiness
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and with teams on problems that are challenging to solve and requiring innovative solutions
• Demonstrated ability to deconstruct complex crash test scenarios with good logic and analytics
• Demonstrated ability in iterative and collaborative engineering environments – success in roles requiring high levels of technical communication and interpretation of analytical results to design engineers and technical leadership
• Demonstrated ability to deliver analysis on challenging projects with extremely tight timing constraints
• Basic level of working ability with scripting in Python or native software environments is a plus
