Manager I Simulation Engineering

Interface with the product design teams to discuss technical inputs for simulations, failure modes, CTQs and carry out simulations, theoretical calculations to identify and mitigate risks through design recommendations.
Collaborate with design validation teams to enhance the design optimization. Conduct correlation study with actual test results and address correlation gaps.
Support project execution through participation in design review meetings and core team meetings providing design recommendations. Identify Innovation opportunities.
Validate concept designs using simulation techniques such as Structural, Vibration Thermal analysis and determine design robustness, critical to function requirements.
Deploy FEA Techniques implicit and explicit approach, using Software tools like Ansys Work Bench, LSDyna, ICE Pack,Hypermesh, Simufact,Mathworks, Digimat etc. Majority on Nonlinear analysis, Electrothermal analysis/Electromagnetic etc. those are involving multi-physics.
Translate actual problem to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model, interpret analysis results and select best solution which includes linear non-linear analysis under different conditions.
Standardize the simulation model which can be used globally, should be able to use ANSYS APDL.
Strong theoretical knowledge on Strength of materials
Implement productivity improvement methods through simulations. Identify VAVE opportunities.
Monitor and evaluate simulation software capabilities and industry trends.
Deploy standardized process and work methodology.
Train and develop capability of the team to be a multi-skilled resource pool.
Benchmark implement productivity improvement methods.
Track monitor metrics for sustained performance covering quality delivery.

DESIRED SKILLS:

12-16 years of industry experience in simulation techniques such as Structural, Vibration Thermal analysis.
Knowledge on material science (Metals, Resins hyper elastic material) and implement for simulation.
Manufacturing process knowledge is preferred.
Experience on Auto connector products (Plastic and Sheet Metal parts) is an added advantage.
Correlation of Test and simulation data / results.
Exposure to structured new product development process and stage gate frameworks to execute project activities from initial research development throughout the entire project development lifecycle.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to interact professionally with leadership, stakeholders, cross functional teams (engineering, product management, manufacturing, etc.) and subject matter experts.
Exceptional analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills with a hands-on practical approach and ability to make decisions when presented with a series of challenges, conflicts, and constraints.
