Job Title:

HV Battery Structural CAE Engineer We are looking for an experienced structural CAE engineer to lead high-voltage battery internals and related system structural design using CAE tools. You will work with battery design and release engineers on cutting-edge battery technologies to ensure the battery functional environment operates within specified conditions. As a collaborative team player, you will create impact by working across the Electrified Powertrain Engineering organization and with key stakeholders of the battery business.

Experience Required:

  • 4+ years of experience working with structural components and designs in an engineering environment.
  • Experience using ABAQUS, Hypermesh, ncode or FeSafe and 3DX.
  • 5 or more years of experience specifically in CAE structural modeling and simulation analysis techniques using ABAQUS or equivalent, including experience selecting appropriate solution procedures for complex non-linear problems.
  • Working knowledge of ABAQUS, OptiStruct Non-Linear, HyperMesh, HyperView, ABAQUS Viewer, Teamcenter, 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX), or equivalent tools (ANSYS, etc.).
  • Working knowledge of CAE tools for fatigue assessments such as FEMFAT, nCode, fe-safe, or equivalent.
  • Strong experience in correlating complex non-linear CAE models with physical test data, including sensitivity analysis and model tuning for improved accuracy.
  • Working knowledge and experience using CAE pre-processing tools such as HyperMesh or equivalent for geometry cleanup and meshing, and ABAQUS, Nastran, or equivalent for CAE model solving and post-processing.
  • Proficiency in ABAQUS scripting (Python) for model automation and advanced post-processing.
  • Familiarity with sheet metal design specifications, sealing design, structural testing setup, and data collection.
  • Familiarity with thermal-mechanical coupled analysis that considers temperature-dependent material properties, thermal expansion, and effects on structural integrity.

Education Required:
Bachelor's Degree

POSITION IS HYBRID / (4 days per week in the office / Monday to Thursday)
