- Responsible for battery crash, crush, durability, and vibration simulations, including side impact and drop test analysis. Manage end-to-end CAE activities, including CAD preparation, meshing, FE model setup, simulation execution, post-processing, and technical reporting using ANSA, HyperWorks, PAM-CRASH, LS-DYNA, ABAQUS, and META-POST. Perform result interpretation, test correlation, failure analysis, and design optimization to meet safety and performance targets. Collaborate with global stakeholders, provide engineering countermeasures, and ensure simulation quality, documentation, and timely project delivery. To ensure that you will:
• Perform crash and vibration simulations for battery systems.
• Independently coordinate with counterpart and global stakeholders to plan, execute, and deliver crash/crush and durability simulation activities.
• Own and manage simulation projects end-to-end from preprocessing, meshing & model setup through final reporting.
• Build, debug, and maintain high-quality crash and durability FE models using pre-processing tools such as ANSA (preferred) and Hyperworks.
• Execute explicit crash simulations and vibration analyses using PAM-CRASH, LS-Dyna and ABAQUS.
• Post-process and analyze simulation results using ANIMATOR and META-POST.
• Interpret results, identify failure modes, and optimize designs through iterative simulation cycles.
• Prepare clear and concise technical reports summarizing simulation results, design improvements, and recommendations; present findings to global counterpart.
• Provide design countermeasures and engineering guidance based on simulation outcomes to meet performance, safety, and regulatory targets.
• Collaborate closely with global counterpart to align on simulation scope, methodologies, assumptions, and result interpretations.
• Ensure strict adherence to simulation quality standards, best practices, and thorough documentation of methodologies, assumptions, and workflows.
• Maintain and continuously improve simulation templates, methodologies, and processes for battery crash/crush analyses.




• Deliver simulation activities in line with structured product development timelines, ensuring commitments to quality, cost, and schedule are consistently met or exceeded. Your qualification/ minimum requirements
