This role focuses on virtual analysis, system integration, and performance optimization of restraint and interior safety components across various impact scenarios.
Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain occupant safety CAE models using LS-DYNA for frontal and side impact scenarios
  • Perform system-level analysis to evaluate occupant injury metrics across multiple crash configurations
  • Optimize performance of restraint and interior components including:
    • Airbags (frontal and side)
    • Seat belts
    • Seats (1st and 2nd row)
    • Steering column
    • Instrument panel and interior trim components
  • Collaborate with Design Release Engineers (DREs) and suppliers to ensure accurate CAE model correlation and integration
  • Ensure CAE models are updated with latest CAD data and aligned with physical test assumptions
  • Work cross-functionally with:
    • Safety structures teams (BIW performance alignment)
    • Interior and chassis teams for system-level optimization
    • Testing teams to align CAE models with physical validation results
  • Support occupant safety attribute delivery across all program phases through Start of Production (SOP)
