I am recruiting for a Senior Engineer - Structural Analysis (Crash) to join a leading automotive brand.
Responsibilities:
1. Drive the vehicle crashworthiness design using CAE, considering applicable Safety Requirements (FMVSS/ECE/NCAP etc).
2. Perform CAE simulations to evaluate and enhance full vehicle crashworthiness performance in conjunction with occupant safety.
3. Develop and apply advanced safety/crash methodologies and analysis techniques.
4. Support subsystem level & full vehicle crash tests in line with standard protocols.
5. Perform post-crash test analysis and correlate CAE to test results.
6. Develop failure models of materials to enable good correlations with physical tests.
7. Use optimization tools to improve designs.
8. Produce concise reports and summaries.
9. Liaise with design, development, project management, commercial, prototype and production manufacturing teams, technical partners, and suppliers to ensure the designs meet the requirements for timing, performance, manufacturability, and cost.
