Automotive CAE Engineer with 1–4 years of experience in vehicle crashworthiness and occupant-restraint-system development, with hands-on experience in safety FE model development/integration and mandatory proficiency in PRIMER, ANSA, and LS-DYNA.
• Develop sled buck models from full-vehicle structural models and integrate restraint-system models.
• Set up simulation decks with occupants for frontal or side-impact scenarios.
• Perform 100ms debug simulations with minimal support.
• Load multiple animations, independently complete visual assessments of results, and generate all required plots using the MetaPost OIC toolbar.
• Prepare occupant-simulation reports for frontal or side-impact load cases.
• Assess and refine model and result quality, ensuring all evaluations are completed on schedule to support project timelines.
• Participate in design reviews and recommend improvements to occupant and restraint-system performance.
• Collaborate with team members and regularly communicate project updates, findings, and lessons learned during daily virtual or in-person meetings.
• B.E, B.Tech (Mechanical, Automobile), M.E, M.Tech Preferable
Essential:
• 1-4 years of automotive CAE experience, with a focus on vehicle crashworthiness and occupant-restraint-system development.
• 1-2 years of foundational hands-on experience in developing and integrating safety FE models at full-vehicle, subsystem, and component levels, including restraint systems.
• Proficiency in PRIMER, ANSA, and LS-DYNA are mandatory.
• Strong engineering fundamentals, including a sound understanding of classical and applied mechanics and the operation of basic restraint systems such as single-stage airbags and seatbelts with constant force retractors.
• Strong logical reasoning to predict, analyze, and troubleshoot complex nonlinear crash events.
Desirable:
• Exposure to Human Body Model (HBM) simulations at sled or vehicle level.
• Experience with Linux scripting, Python, Jupyter Notebook, and AI tools.
• Good working knowledge of metals, composite components, and failure analysis.
• Understanding cross-functional performance requirements.
• Experience developing design proposals and collaborating with design engineers to implement them.
• Experience working with automotive OEMs in vehicle safety.
• Excellent presentation and communication skills.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• High learning agility, with a curious and inquisitive mindset; a collaborative team player with a positive attitude.
• Strong sense of responsibility and ownership of assigned tasks.
