- Familiarity with UG-NX CAD & CAE tools
Responsibilities:
THE ROLE:
Perform structural analysis to lead and execute the development of new architectures and subsequent variants. Drive the design through appropriate analyses, deep dive efficient / integrated design solutions, provide clear design direction to your partners and confirm performance. Support hardware elimination through leadership in the Global Focus Groups and drive method development.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Responsible to create and execute Finite Element Analysis (FEA) plans for assigned projects. Lead CAE suppliers and internal resources to meet program milestones and deliverables.
- Create geometry or construct / update FEA models from NX math data. Debug 1st run vehicle structure models from suppliers (external and internal).
- Recommend viable design solutions to resolve any performance issues with mass & cost efficiency.
- Interface with the SMT, validation, structure integration, N&V, and safety integration engineers to assure balance of vehicle structure requirements and design solutions.
- Conduct topology optimization to identify architectural load paths to close the gap to requirements and implement enablers into the math released
- Plan and implement test and/or development projects to enhance CAE capability.
- Recommend process automators and CAE enhancements for CAE modeling software and solvers. Assist in developing new CAE techniques.
- Use CAE to explain results of physical testing and engineer solutions to resolve issues with validation and release engineers
- Responsible for documenting analysis performance for program management and formal CAE report documentation (Virtual Validation) as required.
- Participate in Body Structure Product Development Teams (PDTs) to provide technical guidance based on CAE assessments.
- Stay abreast of new technology, competitive products, and latest CAE tools/trends.
- Have an active role in developing CAE resources globally (focus groups & direct communication)
