- Conduct structural simulations. Required capabilities include nonlinear static and dynamic FEA as well as nonparametric optimization.
- Perform fatigue calculations and make life projections.
- Possess a high understanding of metallic and plastic material properties. Be able to create material property definitions when needed.
- Provide technical leadership over structural and system simulation as well as parametric dynamic vehicle modeling
- Review and assign simulation requests including the utilization of external partners when necessary. Work with requestors to understand needs and propose the optimal methods to address them.
- Support the Modeling and Simulation Vision through personal capability development using training, research, and project execution.
- Engage with industry and external groups to help build team capabilities
- Reinforce simulation rigor through participation in project requirements development, DFMEA and DVP creation, design reviews, and testing.
- Maintain excellent communication and collaboration with design and test functions.
