As of Aug 21, 2026, the average hourly pay for contract cae fea engineer in the United States is $42.90, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $38.46 and $46.39 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Contract Cae Fea Engineer vs Contract Structural Analyst?

AspectContract Cae Fea EngineerContract Structural Analyst
Primary FocusFinite Element Analysis (FEA) for complex components and systemsStructural integrity and load analysis of structures
Required SkillsCAE software (ANSYS, Abaqus), FEA expertise, engineering fundamentalsStructural analysis, stress testing, CAD proficiency
Work EnvironmentEngineering firms, aerospace, automotive industriesConstruction, aerospace, manufacturing sectors
CertificationsEngineering degree, FEA software certificationsEngineering degree, structural analysis certifications

While both roles involve engineering analysis, a Contract Cae Fea Engineer specializes in finite element analysis for complex components, whereas a Contract Structural Analyst focuses on structural integrity and load assessments. The roles often overlap in industries like aerospace and automotive but differ in specific technical focus and software expertise.

Job description

  • Perform linear and nonlinear finite element analysis on automotive body structures, chassis components, and subsystems to evaluate strength, stiffness, durability, NVH, and crashworthiness performance
  • Apply CAE tools throughout the design cycle to support design decisions, identify potential structural issues early, and recommend design improvements
  • Conduct structural topology, topography, size, and shape optimization studies to achieve mass reduction targets while meeting performance and manufacturing constraints
  • Build and refine finite element models, including meshing, material assignment, boundary conditions, and load cases, for complex structural assemblies
  • Utilize multi-disciplinary optimization processes to balance mass, stiffness, durability, and cost
  • Correlate CAE predictions with physical test data and refine modeling methods and assumptions to improve simulation accuracy
  • Collaborate with design engineers, test engineers, and program managers to communicate analysis results and recommendations
  • Document analysis methodologies, assumptions, and results in technical reports and design review presentations
  • Support root-cause investigations for structural performance issues identified during testing or field use
  • Stay current with industry best practices, emerging simulation methods, and software capabilities in structural CAE and optimization
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related engineering discipline (required)
  • 3 years of relevant industry experience in automotive or related structural CAE applications
  • Familiarity with design of experiments (DOE) and statistical analysis methods
  • Experience supporting vehicle programs from concept through production launch
  • Proficiency in finite element analysis (FEA) tools such as NASTRAN, ABAQUS, and OptiStruct
  • Experience applying FEA tools for linear statics, modal, buckling, fatigue, and/or nonlinear analysis
  • Hands-on experience using OptiStruct and modeFRONTIER or similar tools for structural optimization, including topology, topography, size, and shape optimization
  • Experience with multi-disciplinary design optimization (MDO) processes and workflows
  • Familiarity with pre/post-processing tools such as HyperMesh, HyperView, and ANSA
  • Understanding of automotive structural design requirements, including durability, crashworthiness, and NVH considerations
  • Working knowledge of manufacturing processes and their impact on structural design, including stamping, casting, and joining methods
  • Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States
  • Visa sponsorship is not available for this position
Core Competencies

Demonstrates expertise in finite element analysis (FEA) and structural optimization within the automotive industry, utilizing advanced CAE tools to enhance design performance and durability. Proficient in collaborating with cross-functional teams to communicate analysis results and support design improvements.
