Job Details

DURABILITY CAE SPECIALIST, Role:Detroit MI

Specializes in developing and validating vehicle durability models to ensure long-term structural integrity and performance under real-world conditions. This role involves using advanced simulation tools to analyze loads, predict fatigue, and work across the full vehicle lifecycle-from concept to production-to optimize the durability of vehicle components and systems.

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.
