Durability CAE Engineer

Responsibilities Virtual Sign-off & Validation: Lead the structural durability and fatigue sign-off for critical systems like body structures, frames, and electric vehicle (EV) battery trays before physical prototype builds. Advanced Simulation Leadership: Oversee complex, full-vehicle explicit and implicit dynamic simulations (e.g., ground strikes, curb strikes, and cyclic loading) to assess structural resilience. Model Correlation: Drive the alignment between virtual simulation models and physical test results from proving grounds or lab rigs to ensure predictive accuracy. Root Cause Analysis: Use physics-based principles and simulation data to diagnose and resolve durability failures from early development through production. Technical Mentorship: Act as a subject matter expert (SME), coaching junior engineers and developing new CAE methodologies. Cross-functional Collaboration: Engage with design, manufacturing, and Road Load teams to develop design load targets and ensure lessons ...
