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 hourglassing are with...
