Associate Engineer- CAE Modeling

As a CAE Modeling Engineer joining our team, you will play a crucial role in the pre-processing phase of Finite Element Method (FEM) for vehicle Body-in-White and full vehicle models, with a focus on Durability and NVH performance. Your responsibilities will include: - Handling, validating, and preparing complex engineering data, CAD, and BOM to create high-quality FE models for analysis. - Demonstrating a strong understanding of FE modeling best practices, excellent data handling skills, and effective communication with the modeling team. Qualifications required for this role: - Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical field. - 3+ years of experience in CAE pre-processing, FE modeling, or engineering data preparation, preferably within the automotive industry. - Proficiency with major FE pre-processing software (e.g., HyperMesh, ANSA). - Experience in handling and validating large CAD assemblies and complex geometric data. - Strong understanding of engineering data sources such as BOMs, material specifications, and fastening standards. - Solid knowledge of FE modeling principles, especially regarding the accurate representation of various connection types (welds, bolts, adhesives, etc.). - Familiarity with Body-in-White or full vehicle structural components and assemblies. - Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation. - Excellent attention to detail and a systematic approach to data verification and model quality checks. - Good verbal and written communication skills for providing technical direction and clarifications. In this role, you will also: - Perform detailed studies and checks on incoming CAD data. - Develop and execute queries to extract and verify critical input data. - Act as a technical liaison, providing clear direction and feedback to the core modeling team. - Apply relevant BOM information, material properties, and boundary conditions within the models. - Prepare and define complex system model connections and assemblies accurately. - Execute geometry clean-up procedures and resolve intersections within component models. - Review models against standard checklists and guidelines for accuracy. - Identify, diagnose, and fix errors within the models to ensure readiness for analysis runs.,
