Job description

Talent Acquisition Specialist at L&T Technology Services Limited

CRASH STRUCTURES CAE SPECIALIST, Role:

Focuses on designing, analyzing, and optimizing crashworthiness structures to enhance vehicle safety performance. Responsibilities include simulating structural behavior in various crash scenarios, developing lead structures, defining sections, and ensuring compliance with safety standards throughout the entire program from concept to launch.

CRASH STRUCTURES CAE SPECIALIST, Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and define structural sections for lead structures and load paths to withstand front, side, rear, and roof crash modes. Evaluating energy absorption, structural integrity, and vehicle behavior under different impacts.
• Conduct crashworthiness simulations using LS-DYNA to predict structural integrity and impact protection. Include characterized data in LS-DYNA to accurately simulate complex failure patterns under various crash conditions.
• Create load path designs for high-speed and low-speed crash scenarios, balancing structural demands and optimizing energy absorption.
• Strong understanding of high-strength materials, structural balance for different speed conditions, and ensuring compliance with IHS, USNCAP standards in crash scenarios.
• Participate in full program cycles from initial concept development to product launch, contributing to safety development and crash optimization.
• 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 LS-DYNA and ANSA.
• Familiarity with automotive safety standards (FMVSS, ECE, NCA).
