Education & Experience:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, or a related Engineering field.
- Prior experience or strong foundational knowledge of automotive R&D processes and verification criteria.
Technical Competencies:
- CAE Fundamentals: Solid understanding of finite element analysis (FEA), solid mechanics, and material properties.
- Software Proficiency: Proficient in pre/post-processing tools (e.g., ANSA, META, HyperMesh, …) and standard FEA solvers (e.g., Abaqus, OptiStruct, Nastran, LS-DYNA).
- Automation (Bonus): Familiarity with scripting (TCL, Python) to automate simulation workflows and reporting is a strong plus.
Soft Skills:
- Proactive Mindset: Highly independent with a strong problem-solving attitude; capable of finding solutions rather than waiting for instructions.
- Detail-Oriented: Delivers high-quality meshes and accurate reports without compromising on project timelines.
- Communication: Excellent presentation and technical reporting skills to effectively articulate design flaws and solutions to cross-functional teams.
Adaptability: Capable of managing complex tasks and performing well under the pressure of a fast-paced development environment.
