Contract Ls Dyna Engineer information

What is the difference between Contract Ls Dyna Engineer vs Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineer?

AspectContract Ls Dyna EngineerFinite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineer
CredentialsExperience with Ls Dyna software, engineering backgroundEngineering degree, FEA software proficiency, often Ls Dyna or similar tools
Work EnvironmentProject-based, contract roles in automotive, aerospace, or manufacturingFull-time or consulting roles in engineering firms, R&D departments
Industry UsagePrimarily in crashworthiness, impact analysis, and structural simulationsBroader applications including stress analysis, thermal simulations, and product design

The main difference is that a Contract Ls Dyna Engineer specializes specifically in using Ls Dyna software for impact and crash simulations, often on a contract basis. In contrast, a FEA Engineer has a broader focus on finite element analysis across various simulation types and may use multiple software tools. Both roles require similar engineering credentials but differ in software specialization and project scope.

Job description

This position is an opportunity for an engineer to join our BCP structural analysis team as a structural analyst. This global team is primarily US-based, but also has engineers in the UK and India.
You will be responsible for evaluating and developing heavy structures, including main frames, linkages, and undercarriages. You will use finite element analysis tools to develop components to meet structural goals of strength, stiffness, fatigue life and natural frequency while meeting manufacturing and cost constraints. You will work closely with design teams to develop new product and resolve field issues. Your work will include building, solving, and correlating finite element models, as well as supporting validation tests and processing test data. You will demonstrate a strong sense of urgency and determination to resolve issues while maintaining high quality standards.
Job Responsibilities and Duties:
• Building and running FEA models using NASTRAN, LS-Dyna, and Creo-Simulate. Typical projects will involve static linear and non-linear analysis solutions, with some dynamic impact analysis.
• Working with designers and contributing own ideas to develop efficient solutions to structural issues.
• Supporting validation testing with gage maps and data analysis.
• Correlation of FEA models to match test data.
• Working with analysis team to continually improve analysis efficiency and quality.
• Involving other engineers and technical resources to address detailed technical problems.
• Clearly communicating analysis results through verbal presentations and written reports.
Skills and Experience:
• Engineering bachelor's degree.
• Familiarity with FEA model building and results interpretation.
• Experience with weld/metal fatigue, dynamics, vibrations, modal testing, isolation systems, digital signal processing or fatigue is not necessary but is highly desired.
• Ability to understand detailed drawings and technical specifications.
• Good mechanical aptitude.
• Team player with the ability to interact positively with all functions and organisation levels.
• Self-starting, with a natural sense of urgency.
• Productive and able to manage own work.
• Good oral and written communication skills.
• Flexibility and ability to operate under pressure.
