CAE Optimization Engineer

This role supports the design team across multiple domains

NVH, crash, durability, and manufacturing by applying advanced CAE optimization techniques to reduce mass, enhance performance, and guide design decisions. You ll contribute to both current and future vehicle platforms.

Responsibilities

Set up and execute structural optimizations (design space, constraints, objectives, etc.)

Interpret results and propose manufacturable solutions

Perform subsystem and full-vehicle level optimization (stiffness, stress, mass)

Apply multi-domain and multi-material optimization strategies

Use tools like OptiStruct, NASTRAN, Hyperworks, BetaCAE

Collaborate cross-functionally to balance performance across attributes

Provide design guidance during concept phases

Script in Python or TCL (a plus)

Candidate Profile

Bachelor s (or higher) in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering

Minimum 4 years of experience, with 1 2 years in optimization

Strong FEA fundamentals and CAE optimization knowledge

Familiar with OptiStruct / NASTRAN, Hyperworks, BetaCAE

Enthusiastic, quick learner, problem solver, and team collaborator

Performance assessed via task-based evaluations
