Senior CAE Simulation and Modeling Engineer

Job Purpose

The Staff CAE Engineer serves as a technical authority for computer-based analysis supporting product strategy design development and release. Using state-of-the-art FEA and multiphysics tools including ANSYS this role defines and executes system and component-level analysis strategies for automotive driveline products such as transfer cases gearboxes electric drive modules and Variable Cam Timing (VCT) components.

Typical work includes structural and fatigue analysis modal and structural-acoustic analysis CFD mass optimization design optimization and combined 1D/3D modeling. The engineer establishes modeling standards assumptions acceptance criteria and correlation practices; influences early product architecture and design decisions; and partners with cross-functional and global teams to deliver robust products that meet or exceed performance targets. The role advances organizational CAE capability through technology roadmaps methodology development automation mentoring and measurable reductions in technical risk physical prototypes development time cost and warranty exposure.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and execute CAE strategies using ANSYS and other appropriate tools to support functional performance structural integrity fatigue durability NVH thermal and fluid-flow requirements.

• Serve as the technical authority for modeling approaches assumptions boundary conditions material models acceptance criteria verification validation mesh convergence sensitivity uncertainty and correlation practices.

• Translate customer system and product requirements into CAE targets and verification plans; identify technical risk and determine when analytical evidence is sufficiently mature to support design decisions and product release.

• Lead technical reviews and resolution of complex cross-disciplinary issues spanning products programs suppliers and global engineering teams; clearly communicate conclusions limitations risks and recommendations to technical and business leadership.

• Develop and maintain CAE technology roadmaps modeling standards reusable methods reduced-order models automation tools lessons learned and capability-development priorities across programs and locations.

• Lead through influence and mentor engineers and subject-matter experts while coordinating internal teams suppliers universities and engineering service providers to improve functional performance durability NVH mass cost efficiency quality and first-time-right design maturity.

• Establish and report measurable business impact from CAE including reductions in physical prototypes validation cycles development timing product cost technical risk and warranty exposure.

• Promote innovation by identifying emerging simulation technologies and where appropriate contributing to invention disclosures patents technical papers and external technical forums.
