Structural CAE Analyst

YOUR WORK ENVIRONMENT

At MAN India, we offer a state-of-the-art and modern work space. Our engineers work on the latest and advanced technologies in the automotive world with the latest hardware and software. We offer a conducive ecosystem for our engineers to learn and perform. Furthermore, the office space includes a spacious cafeteria, breakout areas, recreational facilities as well as space for conferences and meetings.

JOB PURPOSE/ROLE

Perform structural and durability CAE simulations for powertrain components, including model preparation, meshing, load definition, analysis, and result interpretation.

Correlate and validate simulation results, resolve modeling/solver issues, and recommend design improvements while improving simulation efficiency through automation.

• Strong ability to translate real world load cases—road inputs, powertrain loads, environmental loads—into simulation loads and boundary conditions.
• Provide technical guidance and support to team members on modeling and simulation challenges.
• Correlate simulation models and set capability of methods. using data from the field, rig testing and/or vehicle measurements.
• Automate simulation workflows for increased efficiency using scripting.
• Benchmark current state of the art and emerging trends in simulation like AI/ML.

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

Must Have

• Experience: 5-8 years of experience in structural and durability simulations, especially for powertrain components.
• Qualification: Master’s / Bachelor's degree in solid mechanics, computational mechanics, mechanical engineering or equivalent (e.g., fatigue, dynamics, material mechanics).
• Extensive experience in CAE preprocessing: geometry clean up, meshing, contacts, and connections using  HyperWorks, with simulations in Abaqus, and FEMFAT.
• Proficient in static, modal, random vibration, thermomechanical, and durability analyses.
• Experienced in meshing and model setup for sheet metal, plastics, castings, and forgings with solver compliant quality.
• Strong knowledge of defining loads, constraints, contacts, and connectors for a wide range of structural and durability analysis.
• Skilled in post processing and reporting of stress, strain, vibration, fatigue, and durability results & propose design improvement recommendations.
• Deep understanding of FE quality criteria and generating high quality meshes across analysis types.
• Expertise in resolving solver issues: convergence, contacts, modeling errors, and implausible results in Abaqus, and FEMFAT.
• Solid domain knowledge of engine and powertrain components, including mounts, housings, brackets, and transmission parts.

Software Skills

• AI/ML
