CAE Engineer/ Analyst - Strength & Durability CAE

As a CAE Engineer/ Analyst specializing in Strength & Durability, you will play a crucial role in evaluating Vehicle Strength & Durability through CAE modeling and analysis. Your responsibilities will include mesh discretization, assembly, constraint & load setting for automotive subsystems, particularly components related to Body & Chassis Structure & Closures. You will be responsible for conducting Strength & Durability analysis for both Linear & Non-Linear cases, interpreting results, identifying failure modes, and providing recommendations for countermeasures to meet performance criteria. Documenting results, communicating with stakeholders such as design and testing teams, and collaborating with Testing teams for failure analysis and improvements will be essential aspects of your role. Your technical competencies should include a strong understanding of Strength of Materials, Machine design, and Fatigue, along with knowledge of Finite Element Analysis in the Body Structures & Closures CAE domain. Proficiency in preparing CAE models using Hypermesh software, performing analysis in Nastran & LS-Dyna software, and post-processing in Hyperview & LS Pre-Post will be required. Experience in Fatigue evaluation tools like FEMFAT, MSC Fatigue, NCode, and Multibody software (e.g., ADAMS), as well as exposure to Optimization software such as Optistruct and Mode Frontier, will be advantageous. Moreover, your ability to correlate CAE results with physical testing outcomes, suggest performance improvement strategies, and work collaboratively with cross-functional teams will be crucial. Excellent interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills, along with an achievement-oriented mindset, teamwork capabilities, and networking skills, are behavioral traits that will contribute to your success in this role.,
