What are the responsibilities and job description for the Loads Development / Durability CAE Engineer position at InDepth Engineering Solutions, LLC?
Job Description
The loads and durability engineer is responsible for building multi-body dynamics models to predict loads and using them for durability analysis for chassis and body components. The Engineer will support analysis activities throughout the product development lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Build multi-body dynamic models using ADAMS / Motionview and provide direction to the engineering team on loads and vehicle dynamics analysis. Utilize CAE techniques with component, system, and full vehicle models to assess performance in vehicle dynamics, durability, and fatigue attributes.
- Develop conceptual and detailed sub-system and system vehicle dynamics ADAMS models to execute kinematic / compliance modeling.
- Build ADAMS vehicle dynamics and loads models from design data and run fatigue analysis to provide design direction for components, systems, and full vehicle virtual prototypes.
- Ensure CAE targets are met in virtual prototypes.
- Be able to correlate analytical predictions with physical test performance.
