• Develop, construct, and validate complex vehicle system-level CAE models using tools such as Ansa, Meta, and Hyperworks.
• Use advanced solvers such as Opti Struct and NASTRAN to run simulations.
• Analyze and interpret simulation results to provide actionable insights for design improvements.
• Prepare comprehensive documentation, including detailed reports and methodology documents.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate CAE findings into product development cycles.
• Participate in correlation studies, scripting/automation tasks, and DOE (Design of Experiments) setup as needed.
• Ensure adherence to industry standards and best practices in CAE modeling and simulation processes.

• Minimum of 6-8+ years of industry experience as a CAE analyst specializing in Full Vehicle NVH.
• Hands-on experience with tools such as ANSA, Meta Post, and Hyper Works for CAE modeling and post-processing.
• Proficiency in solvers like Opti Struct and NASTRAN.
• Expertise in building and validating full-vehicle CAE models.
• Strong skills in geometry cleanup, meshing, and creating assembly connections.
• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering.

• Experience in the automotive or aerospace industries.
