What are the responsibilities and job description for the CAE Analysis Engineer, Crash Occupant & Pedestrian Safety position at Tesla?
What To Expect
Analyze and help design and develop occupant and pedestrian protection safety systems to further enhance overall vehicle safety in regulatory, consumer testing, and due care cases.
Tesla is synonymous with industry leading crash safety performance and in this role, the analysis engineer will be an innovative and skilled problem solver, using all analytical tools available. Where these tools are insufficient or do not exist, they will develop novel methodologies to enable fast and accurate solutions. They will be brilliant, both technically, as an individual, and as an active member in a diverse and challenging cross-functional team environment.
What You'll Do
Build state-of-the-art finite element (FE) models of vehicle structures, interiors and restraints Design and analyze restraint systems for various vehicle models Develop and apply advanced crash safety FE methodologies and analysis techniques to drive innovation in design Work closely with structure, seating and interior system design teams to drive improvements in all components related to occupant safety Perform advanced CAE simulations to evaluate and improve component level and full vehicle occupant performance Collaborate with Test Engineering teams to develop and support subsystem level and full vehicle crash tests Perform detailed post-crash test analysis and correlate CAE simulations to test results Use correlated simulations and work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to progress the design and improve the crash safety performance Where appropriate, conduct studies by utilizing optimization tools, including DOE/DFSS techniques on vehicle designs to meet performance requirements with the constraints of conflicting attributes like cost and mass
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical or Biomechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience Previous knowledge of automotive crashworthiness legislation and attributes of vehicle safety and crashworthiness is preferred Very strong engineering fundamentals in problem solving Experience with numerical and analytical methods CAE tools e.g., (LS-Dyna, MADYMO, ADAMS, Abaqus) Test data analysis tools e.g. (DIAdem, Hyperworks, Matlab, LS-pre post and/or Meta-post, Python) Good understanding and experience of vehicle structure development for crashworthiness The ability to articulate and present technical issues to audiences of either spectrum regarding familiarity on crash safety and potential occupant injury Hands-on experience with vehicle crash tests, sled tests and anthropomorphic test devices preferred Excellent attitude, organization skills, and self-motivation
