We are seeking a Senior CAE Durability Engineer with strong automotive experience in vehicle structures, full-vehicle durability, strength and stiffness analysis. The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of automotive CAE experience with hands-on expertise in durability and fatigue analysis, nCode/DesignLife, OptiStruct/NASTRAN, and ANSA/HyperMesh/HyperWorks.
The engineer will be responsible for developing and executing full-vehicle durability simulations, analyzing structural performance, supporting physical durability testing, and correlating CAE results with test data. Experience with RLDA, 4-poster testing, random vibration, fatigue analysis, and block-cycle development is highly preferred.
Key Responsibilities
Perform full-vehicle durability, strength, stiffness, and fatigue analysis for automotive structures.
Develop, build, and validate full-vehicle CAE models for durability simulations.
Perform fatigue and durability analysis using nCode/DesignLife and other relevant CAE tools.
Develop and execute finite element models using OptiStruct/NASTRAN and ANSA/HyperMesh/HyperWorks.
Analyze automotive BIW, chassis, closures, body structures, and other vehicle components.
Support road load data acquisition (RLDA) and 4-poster durability test programs.
Perform random vibration and frequency-domain durability analysis.
Develop block-cycle schedules based on road load and durability test data.
Correlate CAE simulation results with physical test results and identify opportunities to improve correlation.
Investigate structural durability and fatigue failures and recommend design improvements.
Support OptiStruct optimization, DOE, and DFSS activities.
Work closely with design, testing, materials, and vehicle engineering teams to resolve structural durability issues.
Prepare technical reports, simulation results, correlation reports, and engineering recommendations.
Support development and validation of durability methodologies for conventional and electric vehicles.
Experience with EV/HV battery structural CAE and durability analysis is a plus.
