Virtual Analysis Engineer Safety Biomechanics

Essential:

•

1-4 years of automotive CAE experience, with a focus on vehicle crashworthiness and occupant-restraint-system development.

•

1-2 years of foundational hands-on experience in developing and integrating safety FE models at full-vehicle, subsystem, and component levels, including restraint systems.

•

Proficiency in PRIMER, ANSA, and LS-DYNA are mandatory.

•

Strong engineering fundamentals, including a sound understanding of classical and applied mechanics and the operation of basic restraint systems such as single-stage airbags and seatbelts with constant force retractors.

•

Strong logical reasoning to predict, analyze, and troubleshoot complex nonlinear crash events. .

Desirable:

• Exposure to Human Body Model (HBM) simulations at sled or vehicle level.

• Experience with Linux scripting, Python, Jupyter Notebook, and AI tools.

• Good working knowledge of metals, composite components, and failure analysis.

• Understanding cross-functional performance requirements.

• Experience developing design proposals and collaborating with design engineers to implement them.

• Experience working with automotive OEMs in vehicle safety.

Key Responsibilities & Tasks

•

Develop sled buck models from full-vehicle structural models and integrate restraint-system models.

•

Set up simulation decks with occupants for frontal or side-impact scenarios.

•

Perform 100ms debug simulations with minimal support.

•

Load multiple animations, independently complete visual assessments of results, and generate all required plots using the MetaPost OIC toolbar.

•

Prepare occupant-simulation reports for frontal or side-impact load cases.

•

Assess and refine model and result quality, ensuring all evaluations are completed on schedule to support project timelines.

•

Participate in design reviews and recommend improvements to occupant and restraint-system performance.

•

Collaborate with team members and regularly communicate project updates, findings, and lessons learned during daily virtual or in-person meetings.
