Sr Structural EngineerCAE

Education Required: Bachelor s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field of study

Education - Preferred: Master s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field of study

Years of Experience: Minimum three to five (3-5) years of related experience required; five to seven (5-7) years of related experience preferred

Required:

Knowledge of FE software such as Ansa/Hypermesh, Nastran, Abaqus, Optistruct,

Heeds, LS Dyna, nCode, FEMFAT, optimization tools, and post-processing tools

Able to perform linear, non-linear, and dynamic simulations

Knowledge of structural requirements for durability, NVH, and crashworthiness

Strong theory knowledge in solid mechanics, strength of materials, and dynamics

Other Skills/Experience -

Preferred:

Process and manufacturing knowledge covering forming, joining, and assembly

Experience in developing BIW, closures, and chassis components

Experience working with TeamCenter PLM

ESSENTIAL DUTIES:

Interpret and follow project guidelines with minimal follow-up or additional resources needed to complete tasks.

Run multiple simulation projects correctly and efficiently to meet all program timelines.

Actively work on developing new processes, procedures, and methods for analysis.

Provide further development of calculation methods, in particular the definition of substitute load cases or replacement

models.

Use computer FEA software and equipment (i.e. Ansa/Hypermesh, Nastran, LS-Dyna, Abaqus, nCode, FEMFAT, and

optimization-DOE/post-processing tools) to perform engineering simulations.

Ensure model and post-processing are completed in accordance with quality requirements, customer specifications,

and Cosma standards.

Work with cross-functional teams to support the design, test, and structural development of components and systems

by applying root-cause analysis and countermeasure proposals for issues identified during product development and

testing phases.

Correlate experimental data to simulation data.

Analyze FEA results and proposed product changes to determine feasibility or potential improvement of components

and systems to initiate optimization within the project.

Write technical reports to explain the FE results and provide recommendations to improve overall design.

Perform additional duties as assigned.
