• Generation and validation of restraint component models with FE programs
• Correlation to test results and optimization of component performance
• Carry out parameter studies, DOE or topology studies for component optimization
• Biomechanical Data analysis and Film analysis
• Simulation and evaluation of load cases of occupant restraint systems
• Carry out parameter studies for the correlation of restraint systems
• Correlation to test results and optimization of restaint system performance
• Carry out parameter studies and DoE for system performance optimization
• Analysis of test results (crash / sled / OoP)
• Must display expertize in seatbelt modeling and analysis using LsDyna
• Supports the Product Engineering with the component development and optimization
• Creates and executes status presenations and participates in project meetings internally and at the customer
• Actively participates in DFMEA and Design Reviews
• Coordinates the test setup of the relevant tests with the responsible Product / Systems Engineer
• Technical project management of an occupant restraint system / occupant safety project if applicable
• Keep up to date with the global Government and consumer test (NCAP/IIHS/C-IASI,..) performance criteria and testing methods.
• The ability to integrate between passive and active safety systems.

Advising:

• Advise the project team and supervisor in all questions relating to the fulfillment of the performance requirements of the component and/or the restraint system
• Investigation and development of alternative solutions to meet the requested project requirements
• Supports the definition and optimization of methodology and processes
