Vehicle Attribute Engineer, Multi-Physics, CAE

Job description

Description

The Role

As an Engineer with our CAE team, you will play a critical role through the design and development of Tesla products. You will analyze and optimize revolutionary vehicle designs never before executed, enabled by innovative clean-sheet design methodology and Tesla’s innovative EV architecture. You will contribute by:

Responsibilities

·  Providing CAE support through build of state of art FE models to the finest details.
·  Supporting design progression and evolution with multi-disciplinary engineering teams based on your analyses.
·  Drive manufacturing centric vehicle designs with CAE, while balancing all applicable requirements with state of the art design and innovative manufacturing methodologies.
·  Perform advanced CAE simulations to evaluate and enhance sub-systems and full vehicle simulations of specific design attributes and manufacturing processes.
·  Develop and apply advanced methodologies with smart analysis techniques to drive innovation into Tesla products.
·  High skills level in multidisciplinary domains of single and multi-phase CFD, Thermal, Coupled structural and Thermal, water-management, electro-chemical coat depositions and electromagnetics CAE.
·  Develop and support subsystem level & full vehicle correlations in line with standard protocols and best practices.
·  Perform post- test reviews and corroborate the CAE predictions to test results.
·  Develop highly predictive models of materials and processes to enable good correlations with physical tests.
·  Conduct optimization studies by utilizing optimization CAE tools, including DOE/ DFSS techniques on components, assemblies, or vehicle designs to meet performance requirements with the constraints of mass and cost.
·  Performing analyses for feasibility of manufacturing, assembly and service processes.
·  Providing input in the creation of component specification, component DFMEA, and other technical design documents where analysis plays a pivotal role.
·  Produce concise management summaries and report-outs that meet the needs of management system functions.
