Specific Skills

To avoid any confusion created by this form, the requirements for this position arebr br Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering, or foreign equivalent education, and 2 years experience working in automotive powertrain industry. 2 years experience is required in each of the followingbr br 1. Using CAE theory, fatigue simulations and engineering software to analytically validate automotive driveline and powertrain structures.br 2. Using advanced numerical problem solving techniques including nonlinear contact material modeling, fatigue analyses, modal extraction, dynamic time history analyses, frequency domain simulations and topology optimization.br 3. Applying durability and advanced fatigue theory, specifically in powertrain and vehicle validation processes.br 4. Using CAE tools including Simlab, Hypermesh, Hyperview, Abaqus CAE, Optistruct, Abaqus Standard, and FeSafe.br 5. Conducting fatigue analysis and fracture mechanics simulations.br 6. Using material modeling techniques theory and applying manufacturing processes to determine the plastic and fatigue behavior of driveline structures and to validatecorrelate CAE results with test results.br br Experience may be obtained concurrently.br br This is a key position with AAM, responsible in part for developing computer aided engineering CAE models to address strength, durability and NVH concerns relevant to automotive industry; performing structural durability, including nonlinear contact thermal and fatigue analysis of driveline and powertrain systems and use the analysis results to improve the design; performing linear and nonlinear structural CAE analyses for complex driveline and powertrain structures using Abaqus Standard and also perform life predictionanalysis using fatigue and fracture mechanics simulation procedures using Fesafe; developing CAE models to match test setup by creating continuum, shells, mesh independent fastener elements, shell to solid couplings and sub models using Hypermesh, SIMLAB, Hyperview and AbaqusCAE tools; performing stress and fatigue analysislife prediction of driveline components and assemblies and use the analytical data to provide design guidelines; performing NVH thermal sensitivity analysis to improve the robustness of driveline product; and performing sealing and contact pressure analysis and sealing sensitivity to operating conditions temperature, bolt preload, etc.. Because this is a key and critical position, requiring extensive knowledge of, as well as experience with, applicable concepts and issues, a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering, or foreign equivalent education, and 2 years experience working in automotive powertrain industry, is required, as the position involves performing modal analysis, dynamic time history analyses, and frequency domain simulations to determine the system excitation modes strength and correlate with experimental results; performing topology Optimization of driveline system to reduce weight and improve stiffness using Optistruct; and correlating CAE results with vehicle and lab data for fatigue, abuse testing conditions by using material modeling techniques and theory of manufacturing processes to determine the plastic and fatigue behavior of driveline systems and document the correlation level and lessons learned.
