Senior Structural Safety Engineer

The Senior Structural Safety Engineer (CAE) at ALTEN Technology USA is crucial for supporting structural analysis and optimization to enhance vehicle safety performance. This position involves conducting advanced CAE simulations, evaluating structural integrity, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive improvements in vehicle safety design. The individual applies domain expertise to solve complex engineering challenges, manages multiple deliverables, and actively contributes to improving CAE methodologies and processes.

Must Have

• Perform structural analysis using CAE tools to assess vehicle and component performance against FMVSS, IIHS, NCAP, and other international safety regulations.
• Support the refinement and validation of structural designs by collaborating with design engineering, and functional groups.
• Develop, validate, and improve CAE models to enhance predictive accuracy and support data-driven decision-making.
• Contribute to the development and execution of virtual, component, and vehicle-level test plans in alignment with the Design Verification Plan (DVP).
• Analyze test and simulation results to identify structural design issues, provide recommendations, and communicate findings to relevant stakeholders.
• Independently manage assigned projects with multiple inputs and deliverables, ensuring timely completion and adherence to performance standards.
• Support the automation of CAE processes using scripting and programming to improve efficiency and analysis turnaround times.
• Provide technical insights to assist in instrumentation selection, pre-test predictions, post-test analysis, and CAE model correlation.
• Communicate progress, technical results, and areas for improvement effectively across teams while fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
