Job Description

• Perform FEA analysis (Static/Modal, Non-linear, Vibration, Reliability/Durability & Fatigue calculations) on components, sub-systems and complete vehicles to ensure durability/reliability requirements are met.
• Conduct technical research, post-process and analyze simulation results, prepare engineering reports and provide technical recommendations to improve existing and new designs.
• Liaise with design engineers and testing teams to develop test plans and provide instrumentation roadmaps for durability and reliability testing.
• Perform validation studies to correlate simulation models to test data.
• Work with global technical strategy teams to develop simulation strategies and CAE methodologies.
• Work with project managers and engineering stakeholders to estimate CAE budget for new projects.
• Coordinate and delegate CAE tasks and manage team deliveries.
• Oversee and manage simulation tasks across engineering teams and, work packages & other tasks with external partners.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with at least 6 years of industry experience or a master’s degree in mechanical engineering with at least 4 years of experience in structural analysis of mechanical systems.
• Strong background in fundamentals of structural mechanics, durability and linear/non-linear analysis methods.
• At least 5 years of simulation experience in a product development environment, preferably in class 8 heavy duty truck development.
• Experience with CAD (PTC Creo preferred) and component design & development preferred.
• Automotive experience a plus
• Experience with working on Linux/HPC systems.
• A minimum of 6 years’ experience in use of commercial FEA analysis tools such as NASTRAN, Optistruct, nCode, Abaqus, Hyperworks etc. is a must.
