• Run NVH / Durability simulations (Linear, Non-linear, Dynamic), postprocess results, and provide engineering solutions.
• Develop and present detailed reports during customer meetings.
• Develop Python scripts for workflow automation.
• Manage analysis files according to company data-retention policies.
• Collaborate with various groups within the CAE department to enhance predictive accuracy and reduce development cycles.
• Execute projects with minimum guidance, including direct communication with customers, and develop effective design solutions utilizing CAE tools.
• Handle more than one project simultaneously, ensuring timely and high-quality deliverables.
• Support new technology and process development.

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with coursework in Finite Element Analysis, Strength of Materials, Mechanical behavior of metals, plastics & composites, Noise & Vibration.
• 1-3 years of NVH & Durability modeling experience in building FEA models using tools such as ANSA, Hypermesh.
• Experience in linear, non-linear & dynamic structural FEA modeling, analysis.
• Experience in writing process automation using python, or Excel VBA or C functions.
• Experience in performing analysis of complex full vehicle models.
• U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident allowing for International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) compliance.

• Knowledge of mechanical systems, vehicle structure for various load cases & principles for NVH & Durability development for various systems.
• Good attention to detail and ability to use hand calculations and free body diagrams to validate input and results. Ability to communicate verbal and written technical information.
• Excellent problem-solving ability. Take initiative to research solutions when dealing with new problems.
• Software skills in finite element pre-processors, solvers, and post-processors (Altair Hyperworks, ANSA & META).

• Familiarity with FEA/ fatigue simulation software packages (Nastran, Abaqus, nCode etc.).
• Software skills in finite element pre-processors, and post-processors (Altair Hyperworks, ANSA & META).
• Experience with real-world data integration and experimental validation.
