Responsibilities
Build state-of-the-art finite element (FE) models for analysis and optimization of revolutionary battery energy storage systems in collaboration with a small team of multidisciplinary engineers
Challenge established traditional CAE methods and processes to improve efficiency and accuracy
Use CAE tools to optimize performance for enclosures, closures, joints, and other subsystems; correlate CAE simulations to test results
Use correlated simulations and work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to progress the designs; where appropriate, conduct studies by utilizing optimization tools, including DOE techniques on designs, to meet performance requirements with the constraints of conflicting attributes like cost and mass
Support world-class engineering teams with design direction based on your analyses
Perform analysis for feasibility in manufacturing, assembly, and service processes
Quickly learn the tools necessary to execute tasks and modify or create new tools as necessary
Qualification
Required
Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience
Minimum of 5+ years of related experience
Strong foundation in applied engineering mechanics, computational mechanics, materials science, and finite element theory and applications
Expertise in building high-fidelity FE models at component, subsystem, and full-system levels
Demonstrated ability to guide structural, thermal, and safety mechanism designs through CAE, from concept to mass production, across industrial products at scale, while root-causing and resolving correlation issues
Proficiency in linear and nonlinear static, dynamic, and modal simulations; experience developing multiphysics simulation workflows (e.g., thermal-mechanical, mechanical-electrical)
Advanced knowledge in material characterization and modeling, including nonlinear elasticity, viscoelasticity, creep, and strain-rate-dependent plasticity in metals, plastics, polymers, and adhesives
Advanced proficiency in CAE tools such as ANSYS, HyperWorks, Beta CAE, LS-DYNA, Abaqus, and COMSOL
Demonstrated ability in iterative and collaborative engineering environments—success in roles requiring high levels of technical communication and interpretation of analytical results to design engineers and technical leadership
Preferred
Basic proficiency in 3D CAD modeling; CATIA V5/V6 experience is a plus
