How much do cae analyst jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 5, 2026, the average yearly pay for cae analyst in the United States is $99,157.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $72,000.00 and $126,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Cae Analyst vs Cae Engineer?

AspectCae AnalystCae Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Engineering, certifications like FE or PEBachelor's or Master's in Engineering, advanced certifications
Work EnvironmentData analysis, simulation, report generationDesign, development, and testing of CAE tools and models
Industry UsageManufacturing, aerospace, automotiveEngineering design, product development, simulation

While both roles involve computer-aided engineering, Cae Analysts focus on analyzing simulation data and interpreting results, whereas Cae Engineers are more involved in developing and optimizing CAE tools and models. The roles often overlap but differ mainly in scope and responsibilities within engineering projects.

What are some typical challenges a CAE Analyst faces when working on simulation projects?

A CAE Analyst often encounters challenges such as interpreting complex design requirements, ensuring simulation accuracy, and meeting tight project deadlines. Balancing computational efficiency with model detail is a common difficulty, as highly detailed simulations can be resource-intensive and time-consuming. Collaboration with design and engineering teams is crucial, as analysts must communicate findings clearly and recommend actionable changes. Staying up-to-date with evolving CAE software and best practices is also essential for success in this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CAE Analyst, and why are they important?

To thrive as a CAE Analyst, you need a solid background in engineering principles, numerical analysis, and usually a relevant degree such as mechanical or aerospace engineering. Proficiency in industry-standard CAE software like ANSYS, Abaqus, or HyperMesh, and familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you interpret complex results and collaborate with cross-functional teams. These skills are crucial for delivering accurate simulations and optimizing product designs, ensuring efficiency and safety in engineering projects.

Job description

The CAE Analyst II utilizes computer-aided engineering (CAE) software tools to support and optimize the design engineering process for products, components, or structures in various industries. The role will build models using CAE tools and performs analysis to find flaws or inefficiencies in designs and to model solutions. The CAE Analyst II employs CAE tools to enable benchmarking, concept design, prototype development, simulation, and testing protocols. This position is located in Livonia, MI.
Responsibilities:

  • Build models for various applications in automotive, aerospace, and industrial segments using commercial software (MSC-NASTRAN, ABAQUS, ANSYS Mechanical).
  • Conduct CAE analysis under the guidance of a lead engineer or supervisor using CAE tools and support analysis with sound engineering explanation and hand calculations.
  • Review results and findings with the lead engineer or supervisor and provide analytical insight
  • Recommend alternative analysis approaches and design solutions to meet the functional targets
  • Connect simulation with practical aspects of Cost/Weight/Investment (CWI), Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis (DFMEA).
  • Maintain pertinent information in assigned location and perform data cleanup.
  • Learn different computer-aided engineering software packages quickly.
  • Contribute to existing and develop new analyses capability as part of continuous improvement.
Required qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering.
  • Minimum 1 year of CAE analysis experience.
  • Fundamental knowledge in strength of materials and failure theory for metals and composites and vibration concepts.
  • Knowledge of basic engineering principles and aptitude in modeling and simulation with ability to solve engineering problems.
  • Good understanding of kinematics, static and dynamics.
  • Good attention to detail and ability to use hand calculations to validate input and results.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical data to various audiences.
Preferred qualifications:
  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Engineering, Physics or Mathematics.
  • Experience in writing scripts and process automation.
  • Experience in modal, point mobility, and acoustic analysis.
  • Experience in strength, stiffness and stress (including thermal) in linear and nonlinear (material and contact) domains.
  • U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident allowing for International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) compliance.
  • Proficient in at least one programming language (C++, Java and/or Python).
  • Knowledge of finite element pre-processors, solvers and post-processors (Altair Hyperworks, ANSA &META, NASTRAN, ABAQUS, OPTISTRUCT, ANSYS, nCODE and FEMFAT).
  • Strong aptitude in modeling and simulation with ability to solve brand new engineering problems.
