Duties and Responsibilities:
-
Support vehicle design through CAE, while balancing all applicable Global Safety Requirements for specific areas of responsibility (i.e. Frontal impact & Side Impact - FMVSS/ECE/EURONCAP/USNCAP etc.,)
-
Perform advanced CAE simulations to evaluate and enhance occupant performance on a sled level / vehicle level.
-
Set-up Sled models integrating the restraint system and occupants along with the boundary conditions from structural crash output .
-
Develop and apply advanced safety/crash methodologies and analysis techniques to drive innovation into product development.
-
Support subsystem level & full vehicle crash tests in line with standard protocols and best practices required to generate CAE prediction models.
-
Perform post-crash test analysis, correlate CAE to test results, improve the accuracy in CAE models thereby improving the model predictability.
-
Develop appropriate highly predictable failure models of materials and Joints to enable good correlations with physical tests.
-
Conduct optimization studies by utilizing optimization CAE tools, including DOE/ DFSS techniques on vehicle designs to meet performance requirements with the constraints of mass and cost.
-
Perform analyses for feasibility for manufacturing, assembly and service processes.
-
Provide input in the creation of component specification, component DFMEA, and other technical design documents where analysis plays a pivotal role.
-
Produce concise management summaries and report-outs that meet the needs of management system functions.
-
Generate all safety targets that will form part of the agreed program targets, with both internal and external resources.
-
Responsible for development of restraint system, seating system, interior trims, steering assembly from a considerable depth of all safety load cases, from both a legislative & consumer test point of view, Including frontal, side, whiplash & pedestrian protection
-
Create design guidelines and procedures to avoid known problems, assist engineering functions to achieve component & vehicle level performance and meet set overall vehicle targets.
Minimum Qualifications:
-
Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Master’s and Ph.D. preferred.
-
Minimum of 5 years of demonstrated successful experience on CAE – occupant safety and pedestrian analysis.
