Mechanical Simulation Engineer – Virtual Validation Department

We are looking for a Mechanical Simulation Engineer to join the Virtual Validation Department team at Marelli, based in Corbetta. As a critical member, you will design, analyze, and validate advanced automotive components ensuring the highest standards of performance and safety.

Your Responsibilities

• Conduct and manage Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations using Altair HyperMesh/HyperView/HyperGraph and OptiStruct for implicit simulations, including structural analysis, stiffness evaluation, thermal shock assessment, vibration analysis, and fatigue testing.
• Perform explicit simulations with LS‑Dyna, such as crash analysis, sled tests, head impact tests, and airbag deployment simulations.
• Carry out biomechanics evaluations on dummies, considering OOP, airbag deployment, time‑to‑fire, and FMVSS201/ECE‑R21 regulations.
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to guide the design process, providing insights and recommendations supported by simulation validation.
• Ensure compliance with EMEA and NAFTA specifications and standards, and participate in face‑to‑face meetings with customers when required.
• Act as a thought leader, leveraging machine learning and AI applications to enhance simulation processes and engineering outcomes.
• Communicate effectively in English and preferably in French.
• Demonstrate autonomy while working collaboratively in a dynamic environment.
• Run correlation activities to generate digital twin models.
• Maintain extensive knowledge of automotive materials, understand differences, suggest solutions and alternatives, and create detailed material cards referencing temperature dependence, strain rates, GISSMO advanced failure model, etc.
• Handle elastoplastic, brittle, hyper‑elastic materials and glue and adhesive characteristics.
• Apply knowledge of mold processes and tolerance chain calculation.
• Solve physics problems using energy balance calculations.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (valid and recognized in Europe or the United States). Bachelor’s degree is not sufficient.
• Over 7 years of experience in the automotive industry, specifically in infotainment, displays, and clusters.
• Proficiency with FEM simulation tools (Altair HyperMesh/HyperView/HyperGraph, OptiStruct, Ansys LS‑Dyna).
• Experience with DOE activities and creating databases to train AI‑based models.
• Strong understanding of EMEA and NAFTA automotive specifications.

Additional Skills That Will Be Welcomed

• Fluency in English; additional proficiency in French is advantageous.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with customers and team members.
• Basic knowledge of machine learning and AI applications in engineering contexts.
• Proven ability to work autonomously and drive projects to completion.

Benefits and Offer

• Fast‑paced yet supportive and high‑performing international team with an inspiring ambition to transform the future of mobility.
