Job description

**Job Title:** CAE Engineer / Analyst- Pedestrian Safety & Component Crash CAE Background i) Educational Qualification **Essential:** BE / B Tech (preferably Mechanical) **Desirable:** ME / M Tech (preferably Mechanical Design or equivalent) ii) Experience **Minimum:** 03 **Maximum:** 06 **Job Role & Responsibilities:** - Role : Pedestrian Protection and Component Crash CAE Simulation & Evaluation **Responsibilities:** Prepare full vehicle CAE models using HYPERMESH/ANSA/PRIMER – Mesh discretization, Assembly, Constraints & Load setting – for automotive sub-systems and components. Component Strength and Pedestrian Safety CAE simulations using LS-DYNA software. Development of vehicle body structures and aggregates for Pedestrian protection & Component strength (SBA, ISOFIX, etc.,) Model optimization and Robustness using Hyperstudy, LS-OPT etc. Interpretation of results in LS-PrePost/ HyperView/ Hypergraph - comprehend failure modes and provide directions for countermeasures by performing parameter studies on the FEM model. Report preparation and communication with stakeholders – design, testing – for implementation of countermeasures. Interact with testing teams for analyzing failures, correlation of CAE results with physical testing and make improvements in CAE for better correlation. Competency Requirements Technical / Functional : Strong knowledge of Strength of Materials, Theory of Elasticity/Plasticity, and Automotive Body, Sheet Metal, and Plastic Part Design. Understanding of AIS Safety Regulations and NCAP protocols. Knowledge of finite element analysis and Hands-on experience in Pedestrian protection and component crash CAE simulations, including SBA, luggage retention, ISOFIX, and related safety performance evaluations. Experience in Crash CAE model building and system-level simulations. Full-vehicle crashworthiness simulation expertise will be an added advantage. Debug the CAE model for LS-Dyna environment, interpret the results, post process the deck and report to functional manager. Proficiency in FEA result analysis, post-processing, and preparation of technical reports with design improvement recommendations. Familiarity with physical testing and correlation of test conditions with CAE simulations. Exposure to AI/ML applications in CAE (preferred). Knowledge of automation scripting using Python and/or TCL. **Behavioral:** Excellent interpersonal skills, Communication & presentation skills, Achievement orientation, Team player, Networking skills, Flexible.
