Responsibilities & Key Deliverables

As a Lead Engineer in CAE at Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, you will play a pivotal role in enhancing our vehicle safety standards through advanced simulation techniques. Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Creating fully functional crash finite element (FE) models that can accurately simulate real-world crash scenarios including frontal, side, rear, and pedestrian tests using leading CAE software such as LSDYNA, Hypermesh, Lsprepost, and Primer.

• Gaining in-depth understanding of vehicle crash behaviour to inform design improvements, ensuring optimum durability while reducing mass.

• Working collaboratively with design teams to implement effective modifications that enhance crash performance and accumulate iterations within tight deadlines.

• Mentoring junior engineers or fresh PGETs, guiding them in executing crash Design Verification Plan (DVP) simulations effectively.

• Conducting thorough analyses of crash test data to enhance the correlation between crash simulations and physical tests, driving improvements in CAE methodologies.





• Demonstrating project planning and prioritisation, managing resource allocation, and adhering to rigorous project timelines.

• Applying basic finite element analysis (FEA) knowledge, bolstered by strong mechanical engineering fundamentals.

• Delivering competent crash analysis in line with US, European, Australian, and Indian crash safety standards.

• Possessing knowledge of non-linear, dynamic explicit FE-analysis, while addressing time-step considerations, materials, elements, mass scaling, and energy balance to ensure the integrity of simulations.

Experience

You should bring a wealth of practical experience to this position, specifically:

• 4 to 6 years of proven experience in the automotive sector, with a strong focus on crash simulations and CAE processes.

• Proficiency in CAE tools, specifically LSDYNA, Hypermesh, Primer, D3plot, and Lsprepost, enhancing your ability to del
