This CAE Engineer position within the Underbody Systems team is a critical role dedicated to the structural simulation of advanced suspension architectures and steering components. The position centers on translating real-world physical phenomena into highly accurate CAE models, playing an active part in shaping the structural integrity and performance of future vehicles. This role utilizes advanced FEA methods to provide fundamental engineering understanding, optimize structural designs, and make recommendations that ensure suspension architectures and steering systems are robust, manufacturable, and cost-effective while meeting strict internal quality and customer requirements.
- Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- Master of Science (M.S.) in Mechanical Engineering or related field is preferred.
- 2 to 5+ years of automotive product development experience, specifically focused on Durability and structural analysis of suspension architectures or steering components (for experienced candidates).




- Foundational knowledge of Finite Element Analysis (FEA), solid mechanics, and fatigue principles, including experience with solvers like Abaqus and OptiStruct (or equivalent).
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard FEA solvers, specifically Abaqus/Standard or OptiStruct.
- Familiarity with CAE pre- and post-processing and meshing tools (e.g., HyperWorks, ANSA, SimLab, or equivalent).
- Knowledge of non-linear material modeling, such as hyperelastic rubber materials used in suspension bushings or damper seals (for experienced candidates).
- Experience with fatigue life evaluation software (e.g., nCode DesignLife, FEMFAT, or fe-safe).
- Experience with Optimization and DOE tools (e.g., OptiStruct, Tosca Structure, ModeFRONTIER, HEEDS).
- Proficiently uses CATIA V5/V6 and similar CAD software (e.g., 3DX, NX, SolidWorks), along with Teamcenter and Vismockup, to efficiently create and m
