Crash Simulation Engineer

What you get to do:

• Guide design efforts using CAE tools.
• Perform full vehicle frontal, side, and rear crash simulations according to FMVSS, USNCAP, and IIHS standards using Ls Dyna.
• Utilize pre-processing tools such as ANSA and HYPERMESH to create and debug full vehicle crash models.
• Post-process crash simulation results using META or HYPERWORKS.
• Provide design improvement recommendations based on simulation results.
• Analyze and optimize solutions by performing several full vehicle crash simulation iterations.
• Participate in component and vehicle testing, correlating CAE results with test data.
• Apply methods like DOE/DFSS to optimize design.
• Create and present reports summarizing simulation results and improvements.
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing teams, and suppliers to achieve desired vehicle performance.
