- Conduct Modal Analysis to evaluate natural frequencies and mode shapes of components and assemblies.
- Perform vibration and structural dynamics analysis to assess component performance.
- Work on NVH simulations to identify resonance issues and vibration-related concerns.
- Prepare finite element models using HyperMesh, equivalent pre-processing tools.
- Work with solvers such as OptiStruct, Nastran, depending on project requirements.
- Analyze simulation results and prepare technical reports with recommendations for design improvement.
- Collaborate with design, testing, and validation teams to correlate simulation results with physical test data.
- Ensure model quality, accuracy, and adherence to project-specific engineering standards.
Required Technical Skills
- 4–6 years of relevant experience in CAE/FEA with a focus on NVH and structural dynamics.
- Hands-on experience in modal analysis, natural frequency evaluation, and mode shape interpretation.
- Good understanding of vibration fundamentals, structural dynamics, and resonance behaviour.
- Proficiency in HyperMesh for finite element modelling and pre-processing.
- Working experience with OptiStruct and/or Nastran solvers.
- Strong knowledge of meshing techniques, material properties, boundary conditions, connections, and model setup.
- Ability to interpret simulation results and prepare technical reports.
- Understanding of simulation quality checks and engineering validation processes.
Preferred Skills
- Experience in automotive or mechanical engineering NVH projects.
- Knowledge of frequency response analysis, harmonic response, and random vibration analysis.
- Exposure to experimental modal analysis and correlation between CAE simulations and physical test results.
- Familiarity with CAD tools such as CATIA or Siemens NX.
Educational Qualification
- B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.
Key Competencies
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Good understanding of engineering fundamentals.
- Excellent attention to detail and commitment to simulation quality.
- Effective communication and teamwork skills.
- Ability to manage project deliverables and meet deadlines.
