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 manage robust, parametric, and associative Build to Print (B2P) parts.
Develop high-quality 3D CAD design concepts and alternatives promptly.
Creates and manages assemblies, drawings, motion files, and other related CAD data, as well as the complete vehicle environment with all system interfaces
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills to effectively translate analysis data into actionable design recommendations.
