Form of workJob Description
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, an 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 system 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.
⎯ Act with honesty and integrity, and make ethical business choices in accordance with Compliance Policies and Procedures.
