What is a CAE Simulator?

A CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) Simulator job involves using software tools to model, analyze, and test engineering designs in a virtual environment. Professionals in this role work with simulations to evaluate structural, thermal, fluid, or other performance factors before physical prototypes are built. This helps optimize designs, reduce costs, and improve product efficiency. CAE Simulator specialists typically collaborate with engineers and product developers across industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

What does a CAE Simulator do?

As a CAE Simulator, your day typically involves setting up and running simulations to analyze product designs, interpreting results, and collaborating with design and engineering teams to refine concepts. You'll often use specialized CAE software to model physical behaviors, troubleshoot simulation issues, and document your findings for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Regular meetings with cross-functional teams are common to ensure alignment on project goals and to incorporate feedback. Staying up-to-date on the latest simulation techniques and software updates also plays a key part in your ongoing responsibilities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the CAE Simulator position, and why are they important?

To excel as a CAE Simulator, you need a strong background in engineering principles, computer-aided engineering (CAE) software proficiency, and analytical problem-solving skills, typically supported by a degree in mechanical, aerospace, or a related engineering field. Familiarity with industry-standard tools such as ANSYS, CATIA, or Siemens NX, and certifications in simulation methodologies, are highly valued. Attention to detail, effective communication, and the ability to work collaboratively are crucial soft skills for this position. These competencies ensure accurate simulation outcomes, enhance product development cycles, and foster successful teamwork in technically demanding environments.

Is Cae Simulator a good career path?

A career as a CAE Simulator professional involves working with computer-aided engineering tools to develop and test simulation models, often requiring skills in engineering, programming, and software proficiency. It can be a stable and growing field within aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries, with opportunities for specialization and advancement. Relevant certifications and experience with simulation software like MATLAB or Simulink can enhance job prospects.

Job description

Job Description
  • Crash Safety CAE Engineer:
  • This is a contract position for a Crash Safety CAE Engineer in Auburn Hills, MI. The role involves developing design strategies to meet crash safety targets at the vehicle, system, and component levels, ensuring compliance with global safety regulations and consumer rating protocols.
  • Responsibilities:
  • Lead vehicle design development using CAE, balancing all applicable global vehicle safety requirements.
  • Build and maintain full vehicle and system level CAE models following best practices, ensuring high simulation fidelity and results accuracy.
  • Perform CAE simulations for dynamic and quasi-static crash scenarios, including frontal, side, rear, pedestrian, occupant, and crash avoidance events.
  • Improve structural performance and efficiency with minimized weight and cost (topology, joints, weld/adhesive, gauge, lightweight materials, etc.).
  • Summarize simulation results in a clear and actionable format for development teams.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Program Management, and other engineering teams (Studio, Body, Trims, Electrical, Electronics, Manufacturing, etc.).
  • Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • 8+ years of experience in full-vehicle crashworthiness and multi-physics CAE simulations.
  • Strong knowledge of global regulatory vehicle safety standards (AIS, ECE, FMVSS), consumer safety ratings (US-NCAP, Euro NCAP), and insurance ratings (IIHS, RCAR).
  • Strong understanding of structural mechanics and energy management in crashes based on first-principles physics.
  • Experience in developing crashworthy structures, occupant restraints, exterior and interior systems.
  • Proven ability to correlate the CAE results to physical test data and calibrate virtual models to reflect real-world performance.
  • Proficiency in LS-DYNA, ANSA, PRIMER, HYPERWORKS; familiarity with ADAS active safety simulations and AI/ML-based CAE tools is a plus.
  • Experience working on multiple vehicle platforms, including Electric, Hybrid, and Autonomous Vehicles.
  • Strong communication skills with ability to present results and influence cross-functional design decision
