What is a CAE?

CAE engineers, or Computer-Aided Engineering engineers, use computer software to simulate and analyze engineering designs. Their work helps predict how products will behave under various conditions, such as stress, heat, or vibration, before physical prototypes are built. CAE engineers play a crucial role in optimizing designs, reducing development costs, and speeding up the product development process across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CAE?

To thrive as a Computer-Aided Engineer (CAE), you need strong analytical skills, a background in engineering (such as mechanical or aerospace), and proficiency in mathematics and physics. Familiarity with CAE software tools like ANSYS, Abaqus, or SolidWorks, as well as relevant certifications, are typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are vital soft skills for interpreting results and collaborating with teams. These competencies ensure accurate simulations, efficient design optimization, and successful project outcomes in engineering environments.

What are common challenges faced by a CAE when collaborating with cross-functional teams?

As a CAE, one common challenge is effectively communicating complex simulation results and technical details to non-engineering stakeholders, such as project managers or product designers. It's essential to translate findings into actionable insights that align with business objectives. Additionally, balancing simulation accuracy with project timelines can be difficult, especially when multiple teams depend on your analyses to make design decisions. Building strong relationships and maintaining transparency with cross-functional colleagues can help streamline workflows and ensure project success.

Job description

Position Summary:

We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Occupational Safety CAE Engineer to lead virtual analysis and development of vehicle systems focused on occupant protection and workplace safety. The role requires advanced simulation capabilities in crash and ergonomics assessments, combined with deep knowledge of regulatory safety standards. The ideal candidate will play a key role in supporting vehicle programs by ensuring safety performance targets are met using CAE tools.


Key Responsibilities:

CAE Simulation & Analysis:

  • Lead finite element simulations related to occupational safety, including front, side, rear crash, rollover, and whiplash scenarios.
  • Conduct occupant injury prediction and restraint system analysis using tools like LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH, or Abaqus.
  • Evaluate structural crashworthiness and perform detailed analysis on components like seats, airbags, seatbelts, IP, and floor panels.
  • Perform ergonomics and ingress/egress studies for driver and passenger safety using RAMSIS or similar tools.

Safety & Compliance:

  • Ensure virtual designs comply with global safety regulations and consumer test protocols (e.g., FMVSS, ECE R14/17/25, NCAPs).
  • Provide CAE support for proving regulatory compliance and program sign-off.
  • Guide the design team in achieving optimal safety performance with lightweight and cost-effective structures.

Technical Leadership & Collaboration:

  • Lead virtual safety design reviews and contribute to the definition of occupant packaging, restraint layout, and vehicle architecture.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams including crash test, hardware safety, biomechanics, seating, and body structures.
  • Guide junior engineers and provide technical mentorship in CAE methodology and interpretation.

Reporting & Documentation:

  • Document simulation procedures, results, and recommendations with traceable data and clear justifications.
  • Present CAE results to internal teams, suppliers, and management with actionable insights for design improvement.
  • Manage correlation studies between CAE and physical tests for model validation.


Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelorโ€™s or Masterโ€™s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Biomechanics, or related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in CAE-based safety analysis for automotive or commercial vehicle applications.
  • Proficient in crash and safety simulation tools such as LS-DYNA, ANSA, Animator/Post, or similar.
  • Solid understanding of vehicle occupant safety systems and biomechanics.
  • Familiarity with regulatory and NCAP safety protocols (US, EU, China, etc.).


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with crash dummy modeling (e.g., Hybrid III, THOR, WorldSID) and injury metrics (e.g., HIC, Nij, chest deflection).
  • Hands-on experience with physical testing or correlation of test and simulation data.
  • Knowledge of Human Body Models (HBM), virtual dummy positioning tools, and coupling of thermal or fatigue CAE is a plus.

Exposure to vehicle development lifecycle and familiarity with PLM systems.
