CAE Analyst Durability

Alten Group; Chennai District; On-site; INR 1,400,000 - 2,100,000; Full time

Job summary

Alten Group in Chennai is seeking a skilled engineer to analyze and optimize durability performance of components and driveline systems using CAE tools. You will build FE models, define load cases, perform fatigue life prediction, and validate designs for robustness.

You will collaborate with design, testing, and manufacturing teams, present findings to leadership, and support DFMEA/DVP&R activities along with design sign-offs.

Responsibilities

• Analyze and optimize component and vehicle-level durability performance using CAE simulation tools
• Predict, evaluate, and manage the structural and fatigue performance of transmission and driveline components/systems
• Build and refine FE models — including pre-processing, meshing, solution setup, and post-processing/result interpretation
• Define accurate load cases and boundary conditions using road load data, customer usage profiles, and duty cycles
• Conduct fatigue life prediction, structural analysis, and reliability assessments to validate design robustness
• Support root cause investigations and failure analysis for durability-related field/test issues, driving corrective actions
• Collaborate closely with durability and physical testing teams to correlate CAE predictions with rig/dynamometer test data
• Partner with design, testing, and manufacturing teams to recommend design optimizations balancing durability, weight, and cost
• Prepare clear technical reports and present analysis findings, risks, and recommendations to cross-functional stakeholders and leadership
• Support design sign-off, CAE gateway reviews, and DFMEA/DVP&R activities as required
