Senior Crash CAE Engineer — BiW Simulation & Dataset Lead

Employ Africa
Location 📍 Durban, South Africa
Posted 📅 June 16, 2026
Work Type ⏰ Full Time

Position Overview

About the Role

A senior-level role for someone who can own crash simulation methodology end-to-end. You'll define the simulation strategy, validate FE models against known test data, and set the quality bar for a large synthetic crash dataset powering machine learning surrogate models.


What You'll Do

  • Own FE model development and validation strategy for parametric BiW crash simulations

  • Lead conversion and adaptation of existing LS-DYNA models (CCSA Camry-class vehicles) into OpenRadioss-compatible decks via ANSA

  • Take a parametrically designed BiW and automate the setup in ANSA

  • Define simulation protocols across multiple load cases: frontal rigid wall, MPDB, small overlap oblique, side pole, and roof crush

  • Establish spot weld and structural connection modeling standards across the full BiW assembly (pattern, failure criteria, element formulation)

  • Ensure energy balance, mass scaling, and h...
