Résumé du poste

Polaris Inc. is seeking an experienced Durability Engineering Leader to drive FEA-based methods across next-generation off-road vehicle design. You will standardize workflows, collaborate with global teams, and mentor engineers to raise simulation fidelity and predictability.

The role emphasizes fatigue, nonlinear and transient analysis, with close ties to MBD and physical testing data. You will influence early-stage architecture decisions and promote scalable methodologies across engineering

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• Minimum of 6 years in durability analysis, structural simulation, or CAE methods development with a focus on FEA-based approaches.
• Experience with Abaqus, ANSYS, OptiStruct or similar platforms.

Responsabilités

• Lead the development, validation, and deployment of advanced durability methods using CAE and FEA tools.
• Drive innovation in FEA-based simulation approaches, including fatigue analysis, nonlinear simulation, transient response, and complex joint modeling.
• Identify gaps in current CAE workflows and establish standardized processes to support global engineering consistency.
• Define modeling guidelines, load case strategies, and post-processing procedures to improve scalability and repeatability.
• Develop and standardize load generation approaches, durability events, and virtual use cases.
• Collaborate with MBD and test teams to improve integration of loading data and enhance simulation fidelity.
• Improve correlation between simulation models and physical test results through validation and method refinement.
• Develop and implement automation strategies to streamline CAE workflows using scripting tools.
• Apply durability methodologies early in vehicle architecture development to influence design decisions and performance targets.
