Samson Rose has partnered with a cutting-edge robotics and manufacturing client to find a Product CAE Engineer to join their growing team. In this role, you’ll be responsible for developing and managing finite element (FE) models of structural components and full system architectures across a range of vehicle platforms. You’ll also conduct in-depth engineering analysis using advanced CAE tools to assess structural performance.

This innovative company has secured strategic agreements across the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries, and is positioned for significant growth as they continue to expand their reach and capabilities.

A little about them:

• They have developed the world's first fixtureless robotic assembly system.
• It is well-funded and has commercial success.
• Large office and factory facility in Los Angeles.
• Plans to deploy their technology globally.
• Awesome team and culture.

The person they are looking for should have:

• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• Experience in aerospace structural analysis.
• Experience in analysis software packages such as Nastran, Optistruct, and/or LS-Dyna.
• Experience in crash/non-linear, NVH, and durability analyses of structural components and model creation for full vehicle analysis
• Proficient with Altair Hypermesh or Beta CAE ANSA preprocessors.
• Ability to utilize hand calculations to supplement analysis results.
• Outstanding comprehension of solid mechanics.
• Strong understanding of bolt joint margin calculations.
• Solid understanding of linear/nonlinear behaviors of advanced materials (composites, adhesives, metals) to achieve lightweight structural solutions.
• Solid interpersonal skills and motivated self-starter who can manage personal workload and execution to tight schedule.
• Predominantly operates in an office environment. Some periods of time may be spent in conference room and indoor/outdoor for physical test observation for correlation work.
• Must be a US permanent resident or citizen due to the nature of the work.

Big pluses for:

• Material characterization and component / system-level CAE – physical test correlation experience is a plus.
• Experience with aerospace load applications and MIL-STDs.
• Experience interfacing with engineering, testing, and manufacturing groups to understand system designs and the associated constraints.
• Knowledge of overall vehicle systems/sub-systems and requirements is a plus.
• Experience supporting analysis and completing documentations for airworthiness certifications.
• Supported or engaged directly with DoD airworthiness stakeholders such as Air Force Test Center (AFTC) or FAA.
• Experience supporting structural design and analysis throughout the design, build, and test phases of a development cycle.
• Experience with fast iteration prototyping programs.
