FEA Engineer

• Interpret and follow project guidelines with minimal follow-up or additional resources needed to complete tasks.
• Run multiple simulation projects correctly and efficiently to meet all program timelines.
• Actively work on developing new processes, procedures, and methods for analysis.
• Provide further development of calculation methods, in particular the definition of substitute load cases or replacement models.
• Use computer FEA software and equipment (i.e. Ansa/Hypermesh, Nastran, LS-Dyna, Abaqus, nCode, FEMFAT, and optimization-DOE/post-processing tools) to perform engineering simulations.
• Ensure model and post-processing are completed in accordance with quality requirements, customer specifications, and Cosma standards.
• Work with cross-functional teams to support the design, test, and structural development of components and systems.
• by applying root-cause analysis and countermeasure proposals for issues identified during product development and testing phases.
• Correlate experimental data to simulation data.
• Analyze FEA results and proposed product changes to determine feasibility or potential improvement of components and systems to initiate optimization within the project.
• Write technical reports to explain the FE results and provide recommendations to improve overall design.
• Act with honesty and integrity and make ethical business choices in accordance with Magnas Compliance Policies and Procedures.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field of study is required.
• Minimum three to five (3-5) years of related experience is required.
• Knowledge of FE software such as Ansa/Hypermesh, Nastran, Abaqus, Optistruct, Heeds, LS Dyna, nCode, FEMFAT, optimization tools, and post-processing tools
