CAE Durability Engineer(ANSA, HyperMesh, HyperView, MetaPost, nCode, OptiStruct)

As Senior Durability CAE Engineer you will be leading the assessment of durability attribute for various vehicle subsystems like Suspension Body Structures Powertrain Battery Pack interiors exteriors closures seating etc. Along with CAE assessments you will also be involved in testing activities such as test plan development test to CAE correlation testing & validation etc. You will have opportunity to drive the design changes by directly working with design teams by running trade-off studies and design optimization loops. You will work with different testing activities like Regulatory Certification and Compliance testing as well as different full-system sub-system & component level testing.

Your exact job level (Engineer Sr. Engineer etc.) will be defined by the experience and technical ability you possess and how well you demonstrate your skills during the interviews. You will be working with team members with different experience levels and you will have opportunity to engineer groundbreaking products through amazing innovations.

The Role
Perform strength stiffness and fatigue analysis on different vehicle subsystems (chassis closures body structure powertrain etc)
Perform correlation between test and CAE
Maintain traceable documentation for all durability analysis and test work
Able to create FEM mesh from CAD or from rough sketches
Support design engineers in making sure the parts meet all the durability requirements
Able to learn and use different CAE software tools (nCode Design Life ANSA MetaPost OptiStruct Hyperworks CAE products ADAMS etc).
Test and benchmark new analysis tools and techniques. Participate in new CAE method development process automation and benchmarking tasks.

Qualifications:
5 years of related experience ; Bachelors or a higher degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
Experience in vehicle level CAE analysis testing and development
Experience with performing linear analysis non-linear analysis fatigue analysis design optimization dynamic analysis with industry standard CAE tools.
Sound fundamental knowledge of structures and mechanics of materials
Proficiency in using ANSA HyperMesh HyperView MetaPost nCode OptiStruct or similar CAE softwares.
Strong knowledge of vehicle performance requirements deriving load cases from requirements setting performance targets developing testing and validation plans.
