Durability Simulation Analyst - CAE

Job Summary:

• Perform FEA, Dynamics, NVH, Durability simulations of Chassis systems.
• Build, assemble, analyze and validate complete vehicle and system level finite element models.
• Assess structural & fatigue requirements for chassis & suspension, using latest CAE methods & tools.
• Develop & optimize suspension & chassis structures to meet requirements.
• Develop CAE modeling methods, requirements & perform correlation studies with physical test data.
• Develop process improvements to enable faster, enhanced, more robust analysis to be performed.
• Work collaboratively in the CAE and advanced Design team to deliver robust design solutions.
• Design and develop new concepts and simulation technologies for ePowertrain application for high voltage EV application
• Ensure all design schedules are accomplished inclusive of providing regular project status updates to all project engineers.
• Develop and maintain Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R.)
• Perform & execute root cause analysis to solve the design & field failure related problem
• Support vehicle launches on-site and be able troubleshoot concerns using calibration & diagnostic tools
• Monitor and respond to quality indicators and warranty trends to perform root cause analysis.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform & guide various types of simulation used for chassis component level & system level to build first time right proto
• Responsible for weight & cost optimization at component & system level through simulation without affecting performance, efficiency, range & component life
• Develop simulation & optimization strategy for EV application
• Support current model production / design problem solving cross-functional teams to achieve warranty, Cost, and customer satisfaction metrics.
