TITLE: Sr. Stress Engineer

DUTIES: Develop state of art finite element (FE) models of battery module and pack systems to the finest detail. Perform advanced CAE simulations to evaluate & understand behavior and enhance performance of the battery module and pack systems under both static and dynamic conditions. Perform durability CAE including structural responses, linear & non-linear analysis, and fatigue calculation. Provide guidance to design engineers using modeling and CAE analysis, to optimize designs and meet product specifications. Support component and system testing to correlate CAE models and improve the material database and model accuracy. Perform post-test reviews and corroborate the CAE predictions to test results.

SALARY: $162,300.00 - $169,301.00 per year
