Engineer - CAE Passive Safety (Crashworthiness)

Background

No restraints. No limitations. We don’t simply push boundaries. We completely rethink them. McLaren Automotive exists to create breath-taking performance road cars.

With innovation at the core of all we do, every challenge starts with the same question. How can we do it better? This restless spirit runs right through McLaren Automotive. And the search for perfection is evident in everything we do.

Purpose of RolePrincipal Accountabilities

  • Maintaining, analysing, correlating and reporting on the vehicle and system models. Models will be used to study performance against targets relating to Passive Safety regulations. Studies will relate to design of new vehicle architecture and resolution of issues on current platforms.
  • Performing Passive Safety simulations and work with project engineers to assess risk on new projects and develop plans to manage this risk thought virtual and physical test activities.
  • Responsibility for Crashworthiness model build according to methodologies stablished by the Principal Engineer - CAE Passive Safety.
  • Developing robust models to assist the design and development activities of the vehicle program, by having an understanding FE model performance, analysis of test date and basic engineering principles.
  • Determining the most efficient engineering techniques and deliver maximum value to program, through an optimised modelling approach.
