Job Description

Develop strength and durability FE models for analysis and optimization of vehicle structure. Carryout static and fatigue analysis of vehicle structures. Expertise in high cycle, low cycle and vibration fatigue. Develop CAE methods and process for solving engineering problems. Challenge established traditional CAE methods and process to improve efficiency and accuracy. Collaboratively work with test engineers, and Multi Body Dynamic Loads Prediction engineers, to create specifications for data acquisition and virtual loads prediction. Test and analytical data must be suitable for use as load input for CAE based Fatigue and Strength analysis. Use CAE tools to optimize mass for BIW, closures, and other sub-systems. Manage precise model versioning and alignment with CAD enabling speed and efficiency in design iterations. Perform analysis for feasibility for manufacturing, assembly and service processes. Provide input in the creation of component specification, component DFMEA, and other technical design documents where analysis plays a pivotal role Requirements Bachelor s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Master s and Ph.D. preferred. Strong fundamental knowledge of mechanics of materials and in-depth knowledge of stress failure theory, buckling and fatigue theory Experience with fatigue software such as nCode and FE-Safe. Expert applied skill in ANSA, META-Post, NVH Director, NVH Console, Hyperworks, ABAQUS, MODEFRONTIER and other FEM codes Excellent root cause and problem-solving skills in automotive durability. Ability to run quasi static and dynamic strength analysis of structures using explicit solvers will be viewed highly favorably Random vibration expertise Experience with body and chassis automotive components and vehicle systems Support engineering teams with design direction based on your analyses Demonstrated ability in iterative and collaborative automotive engineering environments (at least 1 vehicle program) - success in roles requiring high levels of technical communication and interpretation of analytical results to Design Engineers and Technical Management. Understanding of multi-body dynamic load profiles and ability to intelligently apply for full-vehicle fatigue analysis
