Position Description:

Job Title:

HV Battery Structural CAE Engineer We are looking for an experienced structural CAE engineer to lead high-voltage battery internals and related system structural design using CAE tools. You will work with battery design and release engineers on cutting-edge battery technologies to ensure the battery functional environment operates within specified conditions. As a collaborative team player, you will create impact by working across the Electrified Powertrain Engineering organization and with key stakeholders of the battery business.

The Client Global Electrified Powertrain Engineering Team is a growing team committed to bringing efficiency and value into the battery architecture through close collaboration with global suppliers. Together, our team works to understand our changing world, identify new opportunities, and take action to design and innovate for the future of mobility — Client vehicles and surrounding experiences.
Skills Required:
CAE
Experience Required:

• 4+ years of experience working with structural components and designs in an engineering environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Structural Engineering. I would like to ensure that we have an emphasis on finding someone with broad experience using ABAQUS, Hypermesh, ncode or FeSafe and 3DX. These are the core of the softwares that this candidate will need to be an expert user in to be successful at Client in the Structural CAE team. The skills required in those tools are detailed in the job description.
Experience Preferred:
