Job Description
We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day roll up our sleeves and build a better world -- together. At Ford were all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves
In this position...
Ford is seeking a motivated and talented individual to work in Underbody Systems Engineering team. Candidate will utilize emerging FEA MBD & optimization software to more efficiently design chassis components and systems. They will also work with all sections of Chassis (suspensions brakes steering tires and wheels) and interface with program management teams suppliers testing activities manufacturing and vehicle teams.
Responsibilities
What youll do
- Utilize emerging simulation tools to more efficiently design chassis components and systems.
- Work with all sections of Chassis (suspension and steering) and interface with program management teams suppliers testing activities manufacturing and vehicle teams to automate current methods and employ optimization software to deliver optimized results by using design of experiments (DOEs) optimization algorithms response surface models (RSMs) and neural networks.
- Run topology optimization topography optimization gage optimization and shape optimization on a variety of different Chassis components to reduce cost and weight.
- Drive efficient product and system designs through sub-system analysis techniques.
- Help create CAD parametric template models that are fully connected to CAE templates for analysis (strength and fatigue) and then loop them with optimization software to either populate an entire trade space run an optimization or create analytical engines.
- Research identify and develop the leading software tools and methods available to improve Ford designs and bring them to Ford.
- Develop new CAE techniques analysis procedures and tools to improve process robustness fidelity and simulation execution speed.
- Provide elastomer designs based on stiffness and the sizing requirements.
- Collaborate with the road loads team and the engineering teams to provide them with the accelerated block cycle data for component testing.
- Make use of the MBD tools for evaluating Kinematic & Compliance behavior of the suspension & steering subsystems; be familiar in using MBD tools for the chassis applications.
- Set up CAE models with contact non-linearities large displacement non-linearities and material non-linearities.
Qualifications
Youll have...
Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering automotive engineering or a related field.
5 years of experience performing structural and fatigue CAE (static & dynamic) simulations on automotive components using NASTRAN ABAQUS nCode or ANSYS with high performance computing (HPC).
3 years of experience conducting topology topography and shape optimization using Optistruct Tosca Inspire and/or ANSYS.
2 years of experience conducting parametric optimization studies using HEEDs and modeFRONTIER.
Even better you may have
Masters degree in mechanical engineering automotive engineering or a related field.
Familiarity in performing parametric template modeling in 3DX Platform.
Experienced in creating templatized CAE models that couple with parametric CAD models.
You may not check every box or your experience may look a little different from what weve outlined but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company we encourage you to apply!
