Component Level Analysis and Design Optimization Expert bei Dtna

Inside the Role

Daimler Truck North America’s Vehicle Analysis and Simulation Department works closely with the Design Engineering teams and Product Validation teams throughout new product development. We use state-of-the-art CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) tools to assess and develop components and systems that fit our vehicle performance targets. We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced Computational Simulation Engineer to work on component level analysis and simulation topics by using AI/ML driven software tools to strengthen our Simulation Processes and Methods team. You will have responsibilities to support the whole engineering organization in early stages of product development with material selection, geometry and design optimization proposals. In addition you provide deliver material in context based analysis data to the entire vehicle analysis team as well as to physical component testing. With your innovative mindset you push the boundaries for functional integration and lightweight design approach. By utilizing, expand and further improve our component level analysis and simulation techniques, DTNA will save engineering development time and money. The amount of design iterations and prototype parts as well as prototype tools will be reduced. The quality of plastic and metal components will be improved.
