CAE Engineer

Job description

We are looking for a candidate who will be responsible for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) activities using Nastran/Opti-struct/Abaqus solver and Hypermesh/ Simlab/ Hyperview post processors and support knowledge development projects. Your mission will be to support new product development for FEA activities & assist in FEA knowledge development at Global Engineering Center India Airpower. You should have very high penchant for engineering analysis and analytical work.

MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES:

• You perform advanced FEA analyses for a wide range of applications and close collaboration with your internal client and with the necessary creativity you translate your findings to a performant and cost-effective design. The client is guided by you from the moment you receive the request up to the implementation of the solution.

• In all projects a customer focused approach is crucial. You are able to analyze the clients problem and assess if he needs a simple hand calculation or a more complex FEA simulation. It is your task to select the most efficient and accurate solution strategy to tackle the job.

• Components analyzed include compressor/pump frames rotors housings etc. Types of analyses include linear static non-linear and dynamic calculations.

• You should have field failure or lab test to FE results correlation experience using FEMtools.

• You remain up to date with the latest developments in the field of CAE/FEA Domain. You identify opportunities to improve and/or expand our calculation models and tools. And together with your colleagues you introduce these improvements in our processes worldwide and develop the Static structural and dynamic competence domain in Atlas Copco.

• Interaction with overseas Atlas Copco customers on a regular basis is required.

• Provide CAE support to customers in the phase of product development and product enhancement.

• Support competence development and following best practices in CAE.

• Compliance with ISO Procedures.

Experience requirements

• 6-10 years of FEA experience in strength/ durability calculations of compressor components or solid components.

• Knowledge of Topology optimization tools and approaches

• Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) of powertrain or equivalent to full vehicle domain is an added advantage.

• Should possess strong FE Model and result reviewing and communication skills

• Developing best practices and mentoring colleagues.

• Process automation experience is desirable

• Experience on compressors/pumps is an added advantage.

Knowledge

• An in-depth knowledge of FEA Applied Mechanics Dynamics of structure.

• Hands on experience in HyperMesh/HyperView/ Simlab as pre/post-processor and Nastran/Opti-struct/ Abaqus as a solver are must and he/she needs to be an in dependable resource to the team in these areas.

• The ability to convert problem statements into FEA model strategy definition and results in solutions is essential.

• The ideal candidate shall be able to judge and interpret the analysis results in a good manner with a critical attitude.

• Experience in the following areas is required

  • Performing modal/frequency-response/random-vibration/vibration-fatigue calculations. Modal performance evaluation. Root cause analysis and modal performance improvement

  • Correlation of simulation results to test particularly in the dynamics domain

  • Experience in providing solutions to vibration problems

  • Should be able to read/ write and review detailed word reports

• Added Advantages

  • Knowledge of ASME Sec VIII Div 2 Part 5 ASME Sec II- part D stress linearization method and fatigue calculations of pressure vessels standards

  • Fatigue calculations using AD 2000 code or FEMFAT

  • Exposure to Model based Engineering (MBE) using MATLAB
