Computer Aided Engineer (CAE Engineer)
Job Description
Key Responsibilities:
- Simulation & Analysis: Model airbags, steering wheels, and seatbelts using CAE tools (LS-DYNA, HyperWorks, etc.). Optimize system performance to meet OEM specifications and global safety regulations (FMVSS, NCAP protocols). Utilize pre-processors (HyperMesh, ANSA) for FE mesh construction and conduct non-linear impact simulations. Correlate simulation results with physical test data (static deployment, impact tests). Organize and lead virtual DOE Analysis and CAE continuous improvement activities.
- Leadership & Communication: Serve as the primary technical interface for customers and internal stakeholders. Lead CAE discussions, effectively communicating analysis results and design recommendations. Mentor junior engineers and coordinate off-shore resources.
- Innovation & Process: Develop FEA best practices and drive innovation in simulation methodologies. Evaluate new CAE software and stay current with industry trends and safety advancements.
- Project Management: Plan, schedule, and prioritize project activities, managing timelines and resources efficiently.
Qualifications & Education:
- Bachelor's or advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
CAE Experience Requirements:
Minimum 4+ years of experience in crash safety (at OEM, TIER-1, university etc.)
- Strong knowledge of crash safety fundamentals, global safety regulations (NHTSA FMVSS, UNECE, GSR2, IS/AIS, GB, etc.) and consumer test protocols (US/Euro/Global/J/CN/Latin NCAP, IIHS, etc.).
- Expertise in finite element modeling of restraint systems.
- High proficiency in CAE software: LS-DYNA, MADYMO, PAM crash, HyperMesh, ANSA, Primer, Animator etc.
- Excellent ability to interpret and present simulation results effectively to all stakeholders.
- Preferred: Knowledge of fracture mechanics, metal forming, NVH, or durability CAE.
