DURABILITY CAE SPECIALIST, Key Responsibilities:

• Develop detailed FEA models to evaluate vehicle durability, focusing on fatigue life, vibration endurance/fatigue, and load-bearing capacity for complete vehicle systems under diverse operating conditions.
• Perform road load data analysis to determine component and system damage levels. Use this data to improve structural design and optimize vehicle durability.
• Correlate load data with CAE fatigue predictions, utilizing tools like Ncode and Abaqus to establish accurate cyclic load and damage predictions, and simulate real-world operating conditions.
• Optimize complete vehicle durability by assessing structural load paths, material fatigue thresholds, and road load transfer mechanisms for components such as chassis, suspension, body structures, and powertrain mounts.
• Develop and implement durability test plans, block-cycles, for specific vehicle components and systems, including frame, suspension, body structures, and key load-bearing components, ensuring compliance with industry standards and customer durability requirements.
• Simulate using FE models the customer usage of closures considering environmental conditions, followed by development and validation of solutions.
• Use expertise to correlate virtual to physical. Sign-off virtual performance based on simulation models, with clear documentation of results and recommendations.
• Proficiency in tools, particularly Ncode, Nastran, Abaqus, ANSA.
• Experience - 5-8 years
