CAE Analysis Engineer (m/w/d), Strength & Durability - Berlin, Germany

Description

As an Analysis Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development of next generation Tesla products. You will be brilliant both technically and as a person, and as an engaged member in a diverse and dynamic cross-functional team environment. You will work with Vehicle Engineering teams to understand the performance of future vehicle designs and with Test Engineering teams to develop tests, correlate simulation models, and improve the prediction.

Responsibilities

• Develop strength and durability finite element models for analysis and optimization of revolutionary vehicle architectures in collaboration with a small team of multi-disciplinary engineers
• Use CAE tools to optimize strength and durability performance for BIW, closures, chassis, exteriors, interiors and other sub-systems. Quickly learn the tools necessary to execute, and modify, or create new tools as necessary
• Perform analysis for feasibility of manufacturing, assembly, and service processes
• Support root-cause investigation of current production and performance issues of different systems
• Produce and perform concise management summaries and report-outs
• Question established traditional CAE methods and processes to improve efficiency and accuracy

Requirements

• Education in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent, with theoretical knowledge of finite element analysis and continuum mechanics
• Deep understanding of mechanics of materials, especially Durability / Fatigue properties of metals, plastics and composite materials
• Detailed and applied software experience with CAE pre-processors, solvers, and post- processors in a product development environment. ANSA, META, Abaqus, LS-DYNA Implicit, nCode preferred
• Understanding of theory in a range of mechanical engineering subjects, including heat transfer, vibrations, controls, and fluid dynamics
• Demonstrated ability to deliver work on complex projects with extremely tight timing constraints. Excellent attitude, organization skills, and self-motivation
