Our client in Raymond, OH is seeking a Structural CAE Engineer for a contract position. The role involves the construction of high-quality finite element (FE) meshes and models for complete body and chassis subsystems and components. The engineer will conduct non-linear ABAQUS FE solutions to evaluate fatigue and strength, as well as perform nCode fatigue post-processing to assess fatigue life. Clear and confident presentation and documentation of engineering conclusions are essential aspects of this position. Additionally, the engineer will lead research activities aimed at developing new and improving existing CAE methods. There will be occasional test validation and investigations related to FE models and test requirements. When performance concerns arise from CAE validation, the candidate will be responsible for developing appropriate countermeasure plans and collaborating closely with design departments for implementation.
