Hypermesh information

What is a Hypermesh?

A Hypermesh job involves working with Altair HyperMesh, a high-performance finite element pre-processor used for meshing complex geometries in engineering simulations. Professionals in this role are responsible for preparing models for analysis by applying meshing techniques, optimizing mesh quality, and ensuring accurate simulation results. They commonly work in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, supporting CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) processes. Strong knowledge of finite element analysis (FEA), material properties, and simulation software is essential for success in this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Hypermesh position?

To thrive as a Hypermesh engineer, you need a solid background in finite element analysis (FEA), mechanical engineering principles, and a degree in engineering or a related field. Proficiency with Altair HyperMesh software and familiarity with other CAE tools, as well as certification in FEA or structural analysis, are often required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly with multidisciplinary teams are crucial soft skills. These abilities are vital for delivering accurate simulation results and effectively supporting product development processes in engineering environments.

What does a Hypermesh do?

A Hypermesh engineer typically spends their day creating and refining finite element models, running simulations on structural or thermal performance, and preparing analysis reports for design teams. They also collaborate closely with design and project engineers to interpret specifications, improve model accuracy, and recommend design improvements based on analysis results. Routine tasks often include mesh generation, pre- and post-processing analysis data, and troubleshooting modeling challenges. The role requires strong communication skills, as Hypermesh engineers regularly share their findings and provide technical guidance to ensure high-quality product development.

Job description

Job Description

Work Arrangement: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the office three times per week, at minimum.

The Role

General Motors is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Engine Performance and Calibration 3D CFD Analyst to join our Engine Performance and Calibration team. This role is critical in shaping the future of internal combustion engine (ICE) technology through high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in engine combustion modeling, fuel injection systems, and emissions control, and will contribute to the design and optimization of next-generation gasoline and diesel combustion chambers.

What You'll Do

  • Design and optimize combustion chamber geometries for improved efficiency, power output, and emissions performance.
  • Simulate and interpretcombustion processes,heat transfer,cold start behavior, andcatalyst heatingstrategies.
  • Provide component-level and/or system-level design recommendations to Design Responsible Engineers based on interpretation of analysis results
  • Exercise analytical models for fuel preparation and mixture motion analysis including equivalence ratio and wall wetting
  • Model and analyzefuel injector behavior,spray atomization,spray-wall interaction, andmixture preparation.
  • Exercise analytical models for in-cylinder combustion analysis using 3D CFD codes such as Star-CD, Converge, AVL-Fire, or in-house proprietary software
  • Enhance current standard analysis practices and/or tools to improve prediction fidelity and/or execution speed
  • Participate in product design and development teams and regularly present analysis results to engineering peers and management
  • Document analysis objectives, conclusions, results, and assumptions using a standard report template
  • Cooperatively work with test engineers to enhance laboratory procedures to support the development of first-time capable analysis techniques
  • Stays abreast of new technology and competitive products
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engine design, calibration, controls, and emissions compliance.
  • Validate simulation results with experimental data and iterate designs accordingly.
  • Document and present findings to technical leadership and project stakeholders.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

  • 5+ years experience with compressible CFD analysis of powertrain-related systems
  • BS in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a related field with a focus on internal combustion engines or fluid dynamics
  • 3+ years experience in CFD software (CONVERGE, STAR-CD, STAR-CCM+ ICS or similar) for gasoline or diesel mixture preparation / combustion simulation
  • Highly proficient with ProStar, ICEM, Hypermesh, Tgrid, or equivalent CFD meshing software
  • Highly proficient with Converge, Siemens CCM+ In-Cylinder Solution, StarCD, AVL Fire, or equivalent CFD software
  • Highly proficient with Ensight, ProStar or equivalent CFD post-processing software

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
