Mechanical Simulation Engineer – Virtual Validation Department
We are looking for a Mechanical Simulation Engineer to join the Virtual Validation Department team at Marelli, based in Corbetta. As a critical member, you will design, analyze, and validate advanced automotive components ensuring the highest standards of performance and safety.
Your Responsibilities
Conduct and manage Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations using Altair HyperMesh/HyperView/HyperGraph and OptiStruct for implicit simulations, including structural analysis, stiffness evaluation, thermal shock assessment, vibration analysis, and fatigue testing.
Perform explicit simulations with LS‐Dyna, such as crash analysis, sled tests, head impact tests, and airbag deployment simulations.
Carry out biomechanics evaluations on dummies, considering OOP, airbag deployment, time‐to‐fire, and FMVSS201/ECE‐R21 regulations.
Collaborate closely with cross‐functional teams to guide the design process, providing insights and recommendations supported by simulation validation.
Ensure compliance with EMEA and NAFTA specifications and standards, and participate in face‐to‐face meetings with customers when required.
Act as a thought leader, leveraging machine learning and AI applications to enhance simulation processes and engineering outcomes.
Communicate effectively in English and preferably in French.
Demonstrate autonomy while working collaboratively in a dynamic environment.
Run correlation activities to generate digital twin models.
Maintain extensive knowledge of automotive materials, understand differences, suggest solutions and alternatives, and create detailed material cards referencing temperature dependence, strain rates, GISSMO advanced failure model, etc.
Handle elastoplastic, brittle, hyper‐elastic materials and glue and adhesive characteristics.
Apply knowledge of mold processes and tolerance chain calculation.
Solve physics problems using energy balance calculations.
