Stellantis is hiring: Advanced Mechanical Strength Engineer in Auburn Hills

Overview

Advanced Mechanical Strength Engineer role at Stellantis. Focus on simulation to support product development and research activity in the area of stress and fatigue for EDM and battery. The engineer will develop and validate models, run simulations, post-process and communicate results with internal customers. The individual will respond to requests from product responsible department with analytical results using available tools/methodology or develop new tools/methodology if existing ones are not sufficient.

Responsibilities

• Structural simulation including non-linear analyses under multiple loading conditions static / quasi static (pressure, thermal field, clamp load, vehicle load) to assess stress, strain, sealing and bolts integrity.
• Fatigue analysis with multiple loads (including thermal cycling) and time-step combinations.
• Execution of casting analysis aimed at predicting micro-porosity for a durability assessment under actual material properties.
• DoE and optimization analysis to ensure the best trade-off over durability and other performance (weight, NVH).
• Detailed studies including root cause analysis on issues, identification and validation of enablers.
• Correlation activities to demonstrate the virtual analysis confidence level.
• Technical coordination of CAE validations plans for propulsion systems programs including analysis scope / target agreement with stakeholders, timely delivery of status vs target and proactive identification / validation of enablers if target is not achieved.
• Technical synthesis, reporting and communication with clear takeaways, executive summary and, if needed, root cause analysis and risk mitigation plan.
• Direct interaction with STLA stakeholders for input data collection, validation, results revision and communication.
• Training and coaching of new engineers.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field.
• Minimum 7 years' experience and proven ability in CAE (preferably in mechanical strength).
• Strong English communication skills (written and oral).
• Thorough knowledge of material laws and characteristics for stress and fatigue analysis.
• Advanced knowledge of pre-processor software (ANSA), finite element solvers (Abaqus, NASTRAN, Optistruct) and fatigue software (FEMFAT, nCODE).
• General knowledge of commercial CAD packaging including NX and Teamcenter.
• Thorough knowledge of Microsoft Office products.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master of Science in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Industrial, Computer Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field).
• Thorough knowledge of Propulsion Systems design with focus on Battery, Electric Drive Module (EDM), conventional / electrified transmissions, axles and drivelines.
• DFSS certification.
