Job Description

The Vehicle CAE Safety Engineer is responsible for developing and optimizing vehicle crash safety performance using advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools. This role supports regulatory and third-party crashworthiness assessments and contributes to the design and validation of occupant protection systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and update full vehicle crash finite element models using ANSA and PRIMER
• Perform structural and occupant safety analysis using LS-Dyna to evaluate crashworthiness for various Regulatory and third party standards.
• Develop and tune restraint components such as airbags, seat belts, and steering columns.
• Use simulation results to propose design solutions and structural enablers for ICE, BEV and hybrid vehicle variants.
• Correlate CAE performance with physical test results and document best practices for future development.
• Communicate analysis results and countermeasures to cross-functional engineering teams.
• Support model debugging, root cause analysis, and resolution of performance issues.

Qualifications

Basic Qualifications:

• Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in CAE safety analysis.
• Proficiency in ANSA, LS-Dyna
• Strong understanding of non-linear analytical tools and crash safety development.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Engineering
• Experience with occupant safety systems and restraint tuning.
• Experience in model-to-test correlation and physical testing support.
• Familiarity with Stellantis vehicle platforms and safety protocols.
• Knowledge of Hypergraph, CATIA/NX, and advanced simulation techniques.
