Analysis Engineer

What You'll Do

• Develop finite element models for analysis and optimization for both crash and durability load cases;
• Perform linear and nonlinear analysis on a range of structural components from subsystems to complete vehicles;
• Perform computer simulations related to vehicle frontal crash, side impact, roof strength, and HV battery systems on a vehicle level and verify the results from the simulations comply with multiple various crash and durability safety requirements;
• Challenge established CAE methods and processes to improve efficiency and accuracy;
• Use CAE tools to optimize performance for the body, battery, closures, chassis, and other sub-systems;
• Guide world-class engineering teams with design direction based on your analyses;
• Quickly learn the tools necessary to execute, and modify, or create new tools as necessary.

What You'll Bring

• Detail and applied knowledge of Finite Element Analysis, Applied Solid Mechanics, Material Science and Numerical Methods in a product development environment;
• Detailed and applied software experience in CAE pre-processors, solvers, and post-processors in a product development environment. ANSA, PRIMER, LS-DYNA, HyperWorks and META preferred;
• Experience working with aluminum, steel, composite structures, and a variety of advanced joining methods for crashworthiness;
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and with teams on problems that are challenging to solve and requiring innovative solutions;
• Demonstrated ability to deconstruct complex crash test scenarios with good logic and analytics;
• Demonstrated ability in iterative and collaborative engineering environments – success in roles requiring high levels of technical communication and interpretation of analytical results to design engineers and technical leadership;
• Demonstrated ability to deliver analysis on challenging projects with extremely tight timing constraints.
