Powertrain Strength & Durability

Role

Powertrain Strength & Durability

Responsibilities

• Develop Powertrain and Auxiliary system FE models using HyperMesh and SimLab.

• Execute CAE simulations for powertrain systems including

• Modal and Frequency Response Function (FRF) analysis.

• Nonlinear structural and thermal analyses.

• Low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue assessments.

• Define and apply structural and thermal loads, boundary conditions, and solver settings for simulation execution.

• Perform post-processing, interpret simulation results, identify failure modes, and develop countermeasures to achieve target performance criteria.

• Generate and evaluate weight and cost optimization proposals.

• Collaborate with design and test teams for failure analysis, CAE-test correlation, and continuous improvement of CAE methodologies.

Technical/ Functional

• Strong understanding of engine components and subsystems, including engine block & cylinder head, cranktrain, and exhaust systems.

• Hands-on experience with CAE tools such as Abaqus, FEMFAT, Nastran, AVL Excite, HyperMesh, SimLab, and NX.

• Sound knowledge of powertrain systems, combustion phenomena, and associated thermal and dynamic load conditions.

• Proficient in Nastran dynamic analyses (SOL103, SOL111, SOL112), Abaqus thermal and nonlinear simulations, and FEMFAT fatigue assessments.

• Experience in Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) analysis using AVL Excite is an added advantage.

• Capable of handling large DOF finite element models involving complex nonlinear contact interactions.

• Proficiency in MS Office applications and macro-based automation for reporting and workflow efficiency.

• Demonstrated problem-solving, analytical, and data interpretation capabilities.
