Functional Area: Strength & Durability CAE — Powertrain Systems

Job Title: Deputy Manager – Powertrain Strength & Durability

Educational Qualification: Essential — BE / B.Tech; Desirable — M.Tech

Experience: Minimum 3-8 years

Location: Gurugram

Job Role: Powertrain Strength & Durability CAE Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Build finite element (FE) models of powertrain and auxiliary systems using HyperMesh and SimLab.
• Run CAE simulations for powertrain systems, covering modal and Frequency Response Function (FRF) analysis, nonlinear structural and thermal analysis, and low- and high-cycle fatigue assessment.
• Set up structural and thermal loads, boundary conditions, and solver configurations for simulation runs.
• Post-process and interpret simulation results to identify failure modes and develop countermeasures that meet target performance criteria.
• Propose and evaluate weight- and cost-optimization opportunities.
• Work closely with design and test teams on failure analysis, CAE-to-test correlation, and ongoing improvement of CAE methods.

Technical / Functional Competencies

• Solid grasp of engine components and subsystems — engine block and cylinder head, crank train, and exhaust systems.
• Hands-on experience with CAE tools such as Abaqus, FEMFAT, Nastran, AVL Excite, HyperMesh, SimLab, and NX.
• Good working knowledge of powertrain systems, combustion behavior, and the thermal and dynamic loads they generate.
• Skilled in Nastran dynamic analysis (SOL103, SOL111, SOL112), Abaqus thermal and nonlinear simulation, and FEMFAT fatigue assessment.
• Experience with Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) analysis in AVL Excite is a plus.
• Comfortable working with large, high-DOF finite element models involving complex nonlinear contact.
• Proficient in MS Office, with macro-based automation for reporting and workflow efficiency.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and data-interpretation skills.
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Sharp problem-solving ability
• Collaborative team player
• Quick learner, adaptable to new tools and methods
• Strong networking and relationship-building skills
