Lead CAE & Systems Development Engineering for vehicle structure & occupant protection systems. Ensuring compliance with global crash safety requirements at Ford.
Responsibilities
Use LS-DYNA and associated simulation tools to conduct full vehicle, subsystem & component CAE finite element analyses to optimize vehicle structure & occupant crash performance in side impact.
Develop design recommendations for side impact restraints (e.g. EA tuning for seat belt systems, side air bag, side air curtain, interior trim)
Collaborate with Body Structure, Interior, Chassis, Seat and Restraint System engineers to drive design efficient vehicle content for optimal crash performance.
Conduct component, subsystem, and full-vehicle physical crash tests, as required, to validate CAE models for accurate analysis / predictions.
Conduct DFMEA/Robustness in safety analysis of structures & occupant protection to ensure that corporate requirements are consistently met throughout the vehicle design and manufacturing processes.
Assess the impact of new/advanced technologies & requirements on vehicle crashworthiness and occupant protection.
Apply knowledge from competitive benchmarking to develop innovative vehicle structure and restraint system concepts.
Utilize working knowledge of supplier commodity performance capabilities and processes to meet Ford engineering targets.
Continuous improvement of crashworthiness methodologies and processes to enhance overall vehicle safety.
Actively contribute to a positive teamwork environment based on candid, constructive debate and continuous learning.
