As a Senior CAE Engineer you will be:

  • Strength and Performance Assessment: Evaluate the strength, stiffness, fatigue, and crash performance of components and vehicles through linear static and non-linear analyses using advanced software tools.
  • Conceptual Analysis and Calculations: Provide support to design teams by conducting conceptual analyses and hand calculations to develop and validate engineering designs, including optimisation and multi-body dynamics.
  • Load Case Definition: Define and report load cases for the vehicle and its subsystems, collaborating with the vehicle dynamics team to identify relevant road loads.
  • Attributes and Target Setting: Establish essential attributes for the vehicle and set both high-level and detailed performance targets in conjunction with the homologation team to meet certification requirements.
  • Testing and Validation Planning: Plan and define tests to objectively assess structural performance at various levels, ensuring alignment with specified attributes and reporting results to project stakeholders.
  • CAE Task Management: Oversee Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tasks by managing documentation, providing updates to stakeholders, and preparing detailed reports on CAE progress.
  • Testing Support: Assist in testing efforts by ensuring compliance with requirements and guiding the vehicle development team in validating components and subsystems using standardised methods.
  • Development of Calculation Tools: Spearhead the creation of tools for repetitive calculations, promoting standardisation and improved processes to enhance efficiency in structural analysis.
  • Correlation of Data: Ensure alignment of design tools and methods with certified data to accurately represent the real-world behaviour of structures.


As a Senior CAE Engineer you will have:

  • Degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Automotive Engineering, or a related field (Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD)
  • Experience in structural analysis (stress, stiffness, fatigue, optimization) within high-performance automotive, motorsport, or aerospace sectors
  • Proficient in simulation software, especially Altair's Hyperworks suite or similar tools
  • Practical knowledge of nCode Design Life software
  • Familiarity with analyzing test data and correlating it with CAE results
  • Understanding of FEA material characterization for metals and composites
  • Experience in both conceptual and detailed design across vehicle functions
  • Advanced skills in MS Excel
  • Preferred experience with scripting/programming languages like Python or tools such as Matlab
