CAE Engineer

We are seeking an experienced FEA Analyst to conduct structural, thermal, and dynamic analysis on client products and assemblies. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who thrives in a dynamic environment and can clearly communicate results and optimization opportunities to engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform FEA analysis on products/assemblies, including:

o Linear/non-linear static, quasi-static, and dynamic analysis

o Normal modes, frequency response, and random response analysis

o Physics-based and data-driven optimization studies

• Determine boundary conditions for large contact, complex non-linear models (implicit & explicit environments)
• Create high-quality 2D shell and 3D tetra meshes for intricate geometries
• Debug solution sequences and update models for convergence
• Develop internal FEA methods and specifications to meet customer requirements
• Communicate technical feedback to customers and internal engineering teams
• Correlate FEA results with test data, identify discrepancies, perform root cause analysis, and update models accordingly
• Conduct fatigue and thermal-mechanical analyses
• Generate material curves from raw stress-strain data
• Read and edit solver input decks (.inp, .bdf, .rad, .fem)

Experience Required:

• Proficiency in FEA meshing tools and pre/post-processors
• Strong knowledge of structural mechanics, dynamics, heat transfer, and manufacturing processes
• Experience with implicit/explicit and NVH FEA simulations
• Familiarity with plastics, elastomers, and anisotropic materials
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Experience working with CAD software/models
• 3–5 years of industry experience in FEA or automotive design preferred

Required Skills

• Solvers: Abaqus (Implicit & Explicit), OptiStruct, Nastran
• Pre-Processor: HyperMesh
• CAD Tools: CATIA V5

Preferred Skills

• Solver / Pre-Processor / Post-Processor: HyperView, HyperGraph, Abaqus CAE, Radioss, FE-Safe, nCode, SimLab, Python, Excel Macro, Topology Optimization, Multiscale Designer, Inspire Form, Mold Flow, Physics AI

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Mechanics, or a related field
