CAE Chassis Durability Engineer Job Description

We are seeking a skilled CAE Chassis Durability Engineer with experience in ANSA and Abaqus to support the structural durability assessment and optimization of automotive chassis and suspension components through finite element analysis (FEA).

Key Responsibilities

1. Develop and prepare high-quality finite element (FE) models of chassis and suspension components using ANSA.
2. Perform static, linear, nonlinear, and fatigue durability simulations using Abaqus.
3. Define material properties, contacts, connectors, loads, and boundary conditions for durability and structural analyses.
4. Evaluate chassis components such as frame, cross members, subframe, control arms, knuckles, brackets, and suspension systems for strength and durability.
5. Analyze simulation results including stress, strain, displacement, deformation, reaction forces, and fatigue life to identify potential failure locations.
6. Correlate CAE simulation results with physical durability test data and recommend model improvements to enhance prediction accuracy.
7. Optimize chassis designs to achieve durability, weight reduction, cost efficiency, and performance targets.
8. Investigate and resolve FE model quality issues, mesh-related problems, and solver convergence challenges to improve analysis efficiency.
9. Prepare technical reports, document simulation findings, and present recommendations to design and cross-functional engineering teams.
10. Collaborate with design, testing, manufacturing, and product development teams to ensure chassis components meet OEM durability standards, quality requirements, and CAE best practices.
