• Optimize the design of vehicles and components (structure, suspension, engine, body, etc.) to meet performance, safety, and cost requirements.
• Perform numerical validation of new concepts and products through precise simulations, in collaboration with design and industrialization teams.
• Analyze simulation results and propose continuous improvement solutions for designs.
• Write detailed technical reports outlining simulation results, optimization recommendations, and technical choices.
• Collaborate with internal teams (design, R&D, testing) and clients to integrate technical specifications into projects.
• Participate in evaluating vehicle performance in crash tests, active and passive safety, and dynamic behaviors (collision tests, fatigue tests, etc.).

Qualifications

• Engineering degree or master's in mechanics, automotive engineering, civil engineering, or a similar field.
• Minimum 4 to 5 years of experience in numerical simulation in the automotive sector, ideally on vehicle design, automotive safety, or dynamic performance projects.
• Proficiency in CAE simulation software (ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran, Hyperworks, etc.).
• In-depth knowledge of finite elements (FEA) and simulation methods for mechanical structures, composite materials, thermal and vibrational components.
• Competence in crash test analysis and automotive safety tests is a plus.
• Good command of vehicle design and optimization processes.
• Technical English required (written and spoken), proficiency in German is a plus.
