CAE Engineer

Position: CAE Engineer - Durability

Experience: 2-3 Years

Location: Bangalore

Employment Type: Full-Time

Job Summary

We are looking for a skilled CAE Engineer - Durability with strong experience in FEA, durability analysis, fatigue analysis, and structural simulation. The candidate should have hands-on experience with Altair HyperWorks and/or ANSYS tools and should be capable of performing end-to-end CAE simulations for automotive/industrial engineering applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform durability, fatigue, and structural analysis of automotive/industrial components and assemblies.
• Develop and prepare FEA models including geometry cleanup, meshing, material properties, contacts, and boundary conditions.
• Perform linear and nonlinear static analysis and evaluate structural performance.
• Conduct fatigue and durability analysis under different loading conditions.
• Interpret simulation results and identify critical areas such as stress concentration, deformation, fatigue life, and failure locations.
• Perform correlation and validation of CAE results with physical test data wherever required.
• Prepare simulation reports with methodology, assumptions, results, and engineering recommendations.
• Work closely with Design, Testing, Manufacturing, and Product Engineering teams to resolve design-related issues.
• Support design optimization and recommend suitable design modifications based on CAE results.
• Troubleshoot modelling and solver-related issues and ensure quality of simulation results.

Required Technical Skills CAE / FEA

• Strong knowledge of Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
• Good understanding of structural mechanics, strength of materials, fatigue, and durability concepts.
• Experience in static, dynamic, fatigue, and durability analysis.
• Knowledge of linear and nonlinear analysis.

Altair Tools - Preferred

• HyperMesh - Pre-processing and FE model preparation.
• OptiStruct - Structural analysis and optimization.
• HyperView - Post-processing and result interpretation.
• HyperGraph - Result plotting and data interpretation.
• Knowledge of Altair HyperWorks platform is preferred.

ANSYS - Preferred

• ANSYS Workbench / Mechanical.
• ANSYS Meshing.
• Static Structural Analysis.
• Modal and harmonic analysis - added advantage.
• Fatigue analysis using ANSYS nCode DesignLife or equivalent tools.
• Understanding of ANSYS solver setup, contacts, loads, constraints, and post-processing.

Additional Skills

• Knowledge of FEM/FEA modelling methodologies.
• Good understanding of material properties and fatigue curves (S-N / E-N).
• Experience with load data processing and fatigue life calculations.
• Knowledge of automotive components, chassis, BIW, powertrain, or mechanical systems is an advantage.
• Knowledge of LS-DYNA / Abaqus / Nastran is an added advantage.
• Good analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Educational Qualification

• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent.
