Structural Analyst

JOB DESCRIPTION

- The team supports New Product Introduction (NPI) and Current Product Improvement (CPI) activities for aftertreatment and cooling components and systems.
- The analyses the team performs can be very challenging, involving complex phenomena such as transient thermal effects, engine and machine vibration and forced response, material nonlinearities, exotic materials and complex geometries.

RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:

- Perform structural system analysis and simulation for structural integrity, response, performance, and service life of aftertreatment and/or cooling components and systems
- Provide product design and development teams with timely conclusions and best actionable recommendations and solutions
- Work to continuously improve the accuracy of analysis processes and tools

SKILLS:

REQUIRED:

- MS in Mechanical Engineering or Related Engineering Field
- Two years industrial experience in structural analysis, preferably with a focus on thermal mechanical analysis and/or dynamic analysis
- Understanding of dynamics, heat transfer, material properties and fatigue
- Experience with structural simulations for static, vibration, transient dynamic, heat transfer, boundary and material nonlinear, fracture and fatigue life, bolted joint, and welded structures
- Experience with ABAQUS and Hypermesh

DESIRED:

- PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering or Related Engineering Field
- Five years industrial experience in structural analysis
- Experience with FE-Safe and I-DEAS/NX
- Experience in machine dynamic simulation
- Experiences in non-metallic structural simulation, user defined material behavior modelling, and component interaction modelling
- Experiences in machine and structural design and validation
- Pro/E skills sufficient for FE model preparation
