Engineer (NVH / Crash / Durability)

Location: Raymond, OH

Pay: $51.25 - $58.00/hr.

We are seeking a Senior Structural CAE Engineer to support advanced vehicle development through simulation-driven engineering. This role focuses on reducing physical testing through high-fidelity CAE analysis, model development, and validation across NVH, crash, strength, and durability domains.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform full-vehicle structural CAE simulations supporting NVH, crash, strength, and durability performance
• Develop, document, and validate new CAE methods to improve modeling accuracy and correlation to physical testing
• Build and maintain high-quality pre/post-processing models for full vehicle simulation studies
• Analyze and interpret simulation results to identify design risks, structural issues, and performance gaps
• Correlate CAE predictions with test data and drive continuous model improvement
• Support cross-functional engineering teams as a simulation subject matter expert and internal consultant
• Investigate complex engineering problems and provide independent technical judgment and solutions
• Own root cause analysis of simulation discrepancies and drive corrective actions
• Support replacement or reduction of physical testing through digital engineering methods

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
• 10+ years of CAE/structural simulation experience in automotive or aerospace environments
• Strong expertise in at least one domain: NVH, crash, strength, or durability
• Advanced experience with CAE pre/post tools (ANSA, META, HyperWorks, ModSim, HyperView)
• Experience with solvers such as LS-DYNA, Abaqus (Standard/Explicit), Nastran, OptiStruct, or Actran
• Strong understanding of structural mechanics and simulation principles
• Proven ability to correlate simulation results with physical test data
• Strong independent problem-solving and analytical skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (may substitute for up to 2 years of experience)
• Experience across multiple domains (NVH, crash, durability)
• Strong history of developing new CAE methods or improving simulation workflows
• Experience working in OEM or Tier 1 automotive development environments

Key Competencies

• Independent engineering judgment and problem ownership
• Strong validation and correlation mindset
• Ability to challenge assumptions and drive technical improvements
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
