What are the responsibilities and job description for the Exterior Structural CAE Engineer position at RGBSI?
Position Description:
- Exterior Structural CAE Engineer General Purpose Of Position On a typical day, but not limited to, the CAE Structural Engineer performs finite element-based studies to virtually validate vehicle structure parts (component and sub-system level) supporting the Engineering team with design guidance and performance prediction.
- Leads the System Design Specification analysis, design development and results documentation of exterior systems components.
- Ability to create and modify finite element models that predicts vehicle structure performance by following the corporate requirements and procedures.
- Conduct CAE model audits. Help to develop new analytical capabilities for a better prediction and physical tests.
- Participates in global forums and meetings to share technical information about new procedures and new ways of simulation.
- Coordination with other areas such as: Design and Release Engineers, CAE teams, Digital Innovation, Suppliers, Vehicle Engineering and Manufacturing, to develop integral solutions using math virtual simulations.
- Produces and evaluates solutions to improve the quality and cost of the designs, based on specialized engineering knowledge. Interpret results from CAE and physical tests for the development of feasible counter measures to meet systems and component level requirements.
- Correlate CAE models with physical tests.
- CAE, Analyst
- Independent, self-motivated, goal oriented, highly organized and persistent.
- Able to work both independently and effectively with others.
- Ability to summarize and present technical work to cross-functional teams.
- Ability to balance theory with practical limitations.
