Hiring Manager
Erica Lauer
Responsibilities
Build physics‑based (FEA/CFD/multibody) and/or data‑driven models that represent doors assemblies, door hardware, electromechanical locking hardware, and EAC device interactions across the opening supporting Americas businesses
Calibrate and validate models against historical test data, quantify model confidence, and optimize product designs prior to product launch
Simulate performance requirements across regulatory and industry standards: lifecycle/duty cycles, environmental profiles, misuse/abuse, and certification-relevant applications (e.g., inputs aligned to UL/BHMA/SDI/NFPA/ICC standards to improve our resistance to hurricanes and tornados by running digital simulations of windstorm conditions as an example, etc.)
Run “what‑if” trade‑offs for materials, material thickness, manufacturability, etc. to lower cost, weight, and energy consumption while maintaining compliance and durability
Generate model‑based evidence for pre‑compliance risk reduction and test planning, reducing the number of physical tests
Structure models for reusability across product families and modular platforms
Help reduce our carbon footprint and hit our science based targets (SBTi) by using modeling to assess material and product changes. Quantify material and cost savings opportunities
Champion model‑based engineering practices in NPI/CPI and Innovation processes; create playbooks and templates, and lead training with engineering teams as required
Partner with PLM owners to keep CAD/BOM/twin artifacts effectively stored and traceable
Coordinate with the IP team on IP disclosures when novel mechanisms or methods emerge
