Position: CAE Engineer – Durability
Experience: 2–3 Years
Location: Bangalore
Employment Type: Full-Time

Job Summary

We are looking for a skilled CAE Engineer – Durability with strong experience in FEA, durability analysis, fatigue analysis, and structural simulation. The candidate should have hands-on experience with Altair HyperWorks and/or ANSYS tools and should be capable of performing end-to-end CAE simulations for automotive/industrial engineering applications.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform durability, fatigue, and structural analysis of automotive/industrial components and assemblies.
  • Develop and prepare FEA models including geometry cleanup, meshing, material properties, contacts, and boundary conditions.
  • Perform linear and nonlinear static analysis and evaluate structural performance.
  • Conduct fatigue and durability analysis under different loading conditions.
  • Interpret simulation results and identify critical areas such as stress concentration, deformation, fatigue life, and failure locations.
  • Perform correlation and validation of CAE results with physical test data wherever required.
  • Prepare simulation reports with methodology, assumptions, results, and engineering recommendations.
  • Work closely with Design, Testing, Manufacturing, and Product Engineering teams to resolve design-related issues.
  • Support design optimization and recommend suitable design modifications based on CAE results.
  • Troubleshoot modelling and solver-related issues and ensure quality of simulation results.
