Crash Structures CAE Specialist

Experience Required: 5+ Years

Job Description:

• Develop and define structural sections for lead structures and load paths to withstand front, side, rear, and roof crash modes.
• Evaluate energy absorption, structural integrity, and vehicle behavior under different impacts.
• Conduct crashworthiness simulations using LS-DYNA to predict structural integrity and impact protection.
• Integrate characterized data into LS-DYNA to simulate complex failure patterns under various crash conditions.
• Design load paths for high-speed and low-speed crash scenarios, optimizing energy absorption and balancing structural demands.
• Apply strong understanding of high-strength materials, structural balance, and ensure compliance with IHS, USNCAP standards.
• Contribute across the full program cycle from concept development to product launch, focusing on crash safety and optimization.
• Correlate virtual to physical testing, sign-off simulation results, and provide clear documentation with recommendations.
• Demonstrate proficiency in LS-DYNA and ANSA for simulation and analysis.
• Ensure familiarity with global automotive safety standards (FMVSS, ECE, NCAP).
