JOB PROFILE

Functional Area: Strength & Durability CAE — Powertrain Systems

Job Title: Deputy Manager – Powertrain Strength & Durability

Educational Qualification: Essential — BE / B.Tech; Desirable — M.Tech

Experience: Minimum 3-8 years

Location: Gurugram

Job Role: Powertrain Strength & Durability CAE Engineer

Key Responsibilities

Build finite element (FE) models of powertrain and auxiliary systems using HyperMesh and SimLab.
Run CAE simulations for powertrain systems, covering modal and Frequency Response Function (FRF) analysis, nonlinear structural and thermal analysis, and low- and high-cycle fatigue assessment.
Set up structural and thermal loads, boundary conditions, and solver configurations for simulation runs.
Post-process and interpret simulation results to identify failure modes and develop countermeasures that meet target performance criteria.
Propose and evaluate weight- and cost-optimization opportunities.
Work closely with design and test teams on failure analysis, CAE-to-test correlation, and ongoing improvement of CAE methods.

Technical / Functional Competencies

Solid grasp of engine components and subsystems — engine block and cylinder head, crank train, and exhaust systems.
Hands-on experience with CAE tools such as Abaqus, FEMFAT, Nastran, AVL Excite, HyperMesh, SimLab, and NX.
Good working knowledge of powertrain systems, combustion behavior, and the thermal and dynamic loads they generate.
Skilled in Nastran dynamic analysis (SOL103, SOL111, SOL112), Abaqus thermal and nonlinear simulation, and FEMFAT fatigue assessment.
Experience with Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) analysis in AVL Excite is a plus.
Comfortable working with large, high-DOF finite element models involving complex nonlinear contact.
Proficient in MS Office, with macro-based automation for reporting and workflow efficiency.
Strong problem-solving, analytical, and data-interpretation skills.
