Strong analytical thinking, effective teamwork, and clear communication make you stand out in this role. These skills are essential to ensure that vehicle safety systems are thoroughly tested, compliant with regulatory standards, and effectively integrated into the engineering process.

What is a CAE Safety Engineer job?

A CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) Safety Engineer is responsible for using simulation and modeling tools to assess and improve vehicle safety performance. They analyze crash scenarios, study structural integrity, and ensure compliance with safety regulations. Their work helps optimize designs for occupant protection, pedestrian safety, and crashworthiness. CAE Safety Engineers collaborate with design, testing, and regulatory teams to enhance vehicle safety through virtual validation before physical prototyping.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a CAE Safety Engineer?

As a CAE Safety Engineer, you can expect to spend your days performing crash simulations, analyzing test results, and preparing detailed reports outlining vehicle safety performance. You’ll work closely with design teams to recommend modifications that enhance occupant protection and ensure compliance with safety standards. Collaboration with testing engineers, project managers, and regulatory teams is common to align digital models with real-world testing. Staying current with evolving safety regulations and incorporating new methodologies into your simulations are also important parts of the job. This dynamic workflow offers continuous learning and opportunities to impact overall vehicle safety.

Job description

The Vehicle CAE Safety Engineer is responsible for developing and optimizing vehicle crash safety performance using advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools. This role supports regulatory and third-party crashworthiness assessments and contributes to the design and validation of occupant protection systems.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Build and update full vehicle crash finite element models using ANSA and PRIMER.
  • Perform structural and occupant safety analysis using LS-Dyna to evaluate crashworthiness for various Regulatory and third party standards.
  • Develop and tune restraint components such as airbags, seat belts, and steering columns.
  • Use simulation results to propose design solutions and structural enablers for ICE, BEV and hybrid vehicle variants.
  • Correlate CAE performance with physical test results and document best practices for future development.
  • Communicate analysis results and countermeasures to cross-functional engineering teams.
  • Support model debugging, root cause analysis, and resolution of performance issues.

Basic Qualifications:
  • Minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in CAE safety analysis.
  • Proficiency in ANSA, LS-Dyna
  • Strong understanding of non-linear analytical tools and crash safety development.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Master's degree in Engineering.
  • Experience with occupant safety systems and restraint tuning.
  • Experience in model-to-test correlation and physical testing support.
  • Familiarity with Stellantis vehicle platforms and safety protocols.
  • Knowledge of Hypergraph, CATIA/NX, and advanced simulation techniques.
