Independence, good communication and documentation skills are key to succeed in this role.
This role is onsite 4 days a week at our Mountain View, CA office!
What you'll do:
- Analyze components, sub-assemblies, assemblies, and full vehicle using FEA tools
- Enhance and develop FEA performance criteria and scope for component, subsystem and system levels based on (autonomous-) vehicle performance criteria
- Develop FEA validation plans for Durability, Stiffness and Strength throughout a full development cycle
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering team members to optimize and improve component and system performance
- Lead structural component, sub-systems, and vehicle testing to correlate CAE models
- Collaborate with suppliers/vendors as needed to improve the material database and accuracy of CAE models
- Develop and refine CAE analysis procedures and methods
- Manage work and deliverables with internal & external CAE and test resources
- Document findings and reports stating clear recommendations and proposals for improvements to relevant peers and leadership
