Responsibilities & Key Deliverables

As a Lead Engineer-CAE at Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, you will play a vital role in the Product Development division, specifically focused on improving vehicle safety, durability, and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performances. Your responsibilities will encompass:
- Applying your expertise in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) modelling to create full vehicle runnable Crash, Durability, and NVH Finite Element (FE) models, utilising tools such as Lsdyna, Nastran, DEP, and ANSA.
- Utilising Multi-Disciplinary Optimisation (MDO) techniques employing Design of Experiments (DOE) and Non-DOE methods to efficiently evaluate all Global Design Verification Plans (DVPs) across Crash, Durability, and NVH domains. You will be responsible for collecting, interpreting, and analysing test results and forming proposals for validation to ensure optimal performance while minimizing weight according to specified load cases.
- Executing advanced optimisation techniques, including Topology, Topometry, Sizing, and Shape optimisations,



using software tools such as Genesis and Optistruct, to contribute significantly to the structural performance of vehicle components.
- Developing morphing methods and crafting quick concept morphed models, enabling energetic optimisation pathways utilising DEP and ANSA.
- Engaging in substructure modelling and applying contemporary methods such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to enhance modelling strategies, as well as implementing low-fidelity modelling techniques for efficiency.

Experience

To be successful in this role, you should possess:
- 3 to 5 years of relevant experience in CAE.
- A strong foundation in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Mechanical Engineering principles, showcasing a solid understanding of both Global and Local DVPs associated with Crash, Durability, and NVH domains.
- Familiarity with several analysis types, including Non-linear, Dynamic, Explicit FE-Analysis, Modal Analysis
