Model assembly: Responsible for assembling different vehicle subsystems, from simple systems to complex assemblies such as body-in-white and suspension.
Assess mesh quality and consistency of properties and connections (e.g., rigid elements, bushings and weld points).
Generate acoustic cavity respecting measurement points with specified positions.
Integration of subsystems and model assembly (BIW, TBIW and Full Vehicle).
Structure-fluid coupling.
Integration between body and powertrain.
Analyses: Modal FRFs (Frequency Response Function).
Dynamic stiffness.
Acoustic response (interior noise).
Powertrain noise.
Road noise.
Direct response analysis.
Primary solver: Nastran (SOL101, SOL103, SOL108 and SOL111).
Post-processing: Identify global modes in BIW and TBIW models.
Interpretation of FRFs and transfer functions.
Evaluation of sound pressure levels (Pa, dB and dB(A)).
Analysis of results under different conditions, especially powertrain noise (e.g., WOT and IDLE).
Identification of transfer paths (TPA).
NVH skills: Propose structural improvements to reduce vibration and noise.
CAE-to-test correlation.
Preparation and presentation of reports.
Root-cause investigation of peaks.

Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace or related).
Minimum of 3 years of CAE experience with focus on vehicle safety (Safety).
Solid knowledge of the Finite Element Method (FEM), material modeling, contacts and nonlinearity.
Experience with pre-processing tools such as ANSA (preferred) or HyperMesh.
Experience with post-processing tools such as META (preferred) or HyperView.
Experience with Safety simulations: Crash, Pedestrian Protection, Occupant Protection, Rollover, Pendulum, etc.
Ability to interpret results (energy, acceleration, strains).
Analytical, organized and problem-solving oriented profile.
Advanced or fluent English.
Nice-to-haves:
Experience with other solvers (e.g., Abaqus, Nastran).
Experience with CAE-to-physical test correlation.
Programming/scripting (Python, TCL).
Familiarity with HPC environments (cluster or cloud).
Spanish.
