c. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and modify product designs, ensuring they meet project requirements and specifications
d. Conduct design reviews and provide recommendations for improvements to enhance manufacturability and performance
2. Simulation and Analysis: -
a. Work on thermal analysis, stress analysis, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics and other relevant simulations to ensure product reliability and efficiency
b. Apply loads and boundary conditions to perform static and dynamic analysis and evaluate stresses, strains and failure modes under different conditions
c. Use CFD to analyze drag, internal air flow and cooling system components.
d. Analyze simulation results to pinpoint potential design flaws and optimization prospects
e. Verify the correctness and completeness of simulation performed and analysis
f. Conduct durability and fatigue analysis to predict component lifecycle and reliability
g. Collaborate with design and test teams to correlate simulation results with physical testing data
h. Create simulation models and methodologies to support early-stage design decisions
3. Prototyping and Testing Support: -
a. Assist in the creation of prototypes and conduct testing to validate design concepts
b. Analyze test data and collaborate with the engineering team to refine designs based on test results
c. Provide technical support during prototype manufacturing and assembly
4. Documentation and Reporting: -
a. Maintain comprehensive documentation of CAD designs, simulations, and test results
b. Prepare clear and concise reports and presentations to communicate findings to project stakeholders
c. Develop and maintain simulation standards, procedures, and best practices
d. Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on simulation methodologies
Requirements
