Powertrain Durability CAE Engineer

• Conduct durability CAE to support 8F transmissions
  
• Analysis can involve stress, deflection, temperature, fatigue, and fracture mechanics, and fracture mechanics. Models can be linear or nonlinear, involve numerous contacts, and be quasistatic or transient.
  
• Investigate optimization and TVM opportunities
  
• Interpret results and draw reasonable conclusions
  

• Document results
  
• Communicate effectively with engineers, designers, technicians, suppliers, and management
  
• Plan hardware testing to correlate FE models
  
• Work with engineering community, test labs, metallurgy, metrology, and six-sigma teams to analyze data and establish trends
  
• Research software and methods to determine best practices for analysis
  
• Document methods clearly
