CAE Engineer L2

Title: CAE Engineer L2 – Automotive Durability
Location: Raymond, OH (Onsite)
Duration: Long Term Contract

Mandatory Software: ANSA and Abaqus
 

Job Description

Client is looking for a CAE Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in ANSA and Abaqus to support automotive durability, fatigue, and strength analysis.

Key Responsibilities

• Construct high-quality finite element (FE) meshes and models for complete vehicle bodies, closures, chassis subsystems, and components.
• Conduct nonlinear Abaqus FE simulations for fatigue and strength evaluation.
• Build and prepare FE models using ANSA. HyperMesh experience may also be relevant, but ANSA is mandatory.
• Work on Body-in-White (BIW), closures, and suspension systems.
• Perform nCode fatigue post-processing to evaluate fatigue life.
• Present and document engineering conclusions clearly and confidently.
• Lead research activities to develop new CAE methods and improve existing methods.
• Support test validation and investigations related to FE models and test requirements.
• Investigate performance concerns identified during CAE validation, develop countermeasure plans, and collaborate with design teams on implementation.

Mandatory Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with ANSA and Abaqus.
• FE model building and meshing.
• Nonlinear finite element analysis.
• Automotive durability, fatigue, and strength evaluation.
• Automotive experience, preferably in BIW, closures, chassis, or suspension.

Preferred Skills

• nCode fatigue post-processing.
• Nastran and/or HyperMesh.
• Test validation and correlation.
• Strong communication, presentation, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
