Strength Engineer

Job Description:

• Develop strength and durability performance of vehicle frame, body, and chassis (suspension, axle, bushing) through prediction, evaluation, and analysis
• Prediction: Analytical (hand calculation, design review) and CAE (FEA, MBD, other simulations) methods
• Evaluation: Vehicle input load measurements and bench tests (static and fatigue), by collaborating with technician team members
• Analysis: Data organization and visualization to extract trends, fatigue life calculation, failure analysis, etc.
• Solve problems and develop countermeasures to achieve strength and durability performance targets according to vehicle development schedule.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering
• 2 years’ experience working as an engineer (inc. industry co-op/internship, SAE project team leader, etc.)
• Completed academic coursework in solid mechanics engineering (strength of materials, stress/strain/deflection, static and fatigue failure theories, structures and joining, vibrations) and system dynamics

General Requirements:

• Experience with engineering experimentation (planning, measurements, statistical analysis, reporting)
• Experience with commercial FEA pre-processors, solvers, and post-processors
• Preferred:
• Experience contributing to a project as a member of a diverse team
