Education: B.E./B.Tech./M.E./M.Tech. in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, Computational Mechanics, or related field Industry: Automotive / Mobility

Role Summary:We are looking for a CAE Engineer with solid hands-on experience in FEA and Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) to support Ford Global Vehicle Process Engineering (GVPE) and product development programs. The role involves structural, durability, NVH, kinematic, dynamic, and virtual validation activities across automotive systems.Key Responsibilities

- Perform linear/non-linear FEA for structural stiffness, strength, stress, strain, contact, deformation, and FoS.
- Conduct modal, vibration/frequency response, NVH, fatigue, and durability analysis.
- Develop MBD/kinematic models for suspension, steering, hinges, closures, seats, mounts, mechanisms, and robotic systems.
- Extract dynamic joint loads, forces, moments, accelerations, and reactions from MBD simulations.
- Perform FEA–MBD load transfer/cascading for component-level structural and fatigue analysis.
- Develop flexible-body MBD models using CMS/Craig-Bampton and FEA modal reduction.
- Perform topology, topometry, shape, and gauge optimization for lightweighting and stiffness improvement.
- Correlate CAE results with physical test/proving-ground data and perform root-cause analysis.
- Recommend CAD/design changes, reinforcements, and optimization solutions based on simulation results.
- Support engineering reviews, gateway activities, and cross-functional teams.

Required Tools FEA/Pre-Post: SimSolid, HyperMesh/HyperView, ANSYS Workbench, ANSA/METAFEA Solvers: Abaqus, Nastran, OptiStruct, ANSYS Mechanical, LS-DYNAMBD:
