Job Description

On-Site role

Job Description:

• The client vehicle needs to operate reliably around the clock within a constantly expanding operational area, carrying a variety of users and payload, and being subjected to all that the environment and the users can throw at it.
• This creates a unique challenge for the Strength and Durability attribute team.
• Your role will be to support design engineers in ensuring their systems will operate safely and reliably throughout the life of the vehicle.
• You will use the most appropriate methods, from hand calculations and FE analysis to component, system, and vehicle testing to support system development. 
• Within high pace program cycles, you will work jointly with design and test engineers to develop practicable structural design solutions meeting attribute requirements.
• You will continuously develop and improve CAE working practices, leading long term methods projects alongside day-to-day activities.

What you'll do:

• Analyze strength and fatigue performance of mechanical systems from component to full vehicle level under static and dynamic loading.
• Develop feasible structural solutions meeting real world strength and durability requirements.
• Develop and improve working methods in the CAE team and across the vehicle engineering.
• Report and communicate results at all levels including during cross-functional reviews.
• Champion structural solutions which serve Strength and Durability attribute performance and coordinate with other attributes for best overall performance.
• Location: Foster City (California)

What you’ll need:

• Masters degree in mechanical / aerospace / motorsport engineering
• Proven experience of delivering real world structural performance development using simulation, testing and first principle methods.
• Routine use of simple and advanced hand calculations for concept and detail studies.
• Expertise in the use of Implicit FE solvers (Optistruct/Nastran/Abaqus).
• Expertise in fatigue calculations using SN and EN methods (Ncode/other tools).
• Vibration analysis and testing experience for deterministic and random excitations.
• Proficient with statistical analysis applied to the creation of material allowable properties based on large sample test data.
• Working understanding of road load data collection and accelerated duty cycle creation with
• equivalent damage method.
• Rigorous approach to engineering problems, ensuring consistency and traceability of results.
• Experience of multi scale FE model correlation.
