CAE Durability Engineer

Overview / Summary

Seeking a CAE Durability Engineer with experience in structural and fatigue analysis, finite element methods, and durability simulation. The role focuses on structural and fatigue simulations involving road loads, modal transient analysis, root cause analysis, correlation of virtual analysis results with physical data, and technical problem solving.

This is a hybrid position requiring four days per week in the office.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform structural and fatigue simulations involving road loads.

• Perform modal transient analysis.

• Conduct detailed studies, including root cause analysis, to confirm the effectiveness of design solutions against key performance metrics.

• Carry out correlation activities to confirm confidence in virtual analysis results against physical data.

• Communicate analysis results effectively with Design & Release teams.

• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of internal and external fatigue tools.

• Support technical problem solving for significant quality and warranty issues and TVMs.

• Maintain awareness of issues and recurrence across AIMS, DURIS, Commodity Health Charts, Standards, Lessons Learned, and other CAE groups.

• Work on assigned special CAE projects and initiatives.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

• 10+ years of experience in CAE, with a preference for fatigue analysis.

• In-depth knowledge of material science, fatigue principles, including stress-life and strain-life, and structural mechanics.

• Knowledge of finite element methods.

• Expertise in linear and nonlinear implicit and explicit analyses.

• Experience with CAE durability and fatigue analysis.

• Experience with HyperMesh and CAD/meshing tools.

• Proficiency with the following software:

  • Pre-processing: ANSA, HyperMesh

  • FEA Solvers: NASTRAN, OptiStruct, Abaqus

  • Fatigue Tools: nCode, FeSafe Verity, Fdynam

  • CAD: Teamcenter, 3DX

  • Post-processing: HyperWorks
