Durability CAE Engineer

The Company:

Faraday Future (FF) is a California-based mobility company, leveraging the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility. We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles to establish new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.

Your Role:

• Perform a leading role in the development of durability loads, correlation, analysis, and results reporting.
• Build state-of-the-art FE models using BETA CAE ANSA and other simulation software.
• Perform finite element analysis for component, system, and full vehicle durability load cases.
• Develop strategies to achieve durability attributes at minimum cost, weight, and complexity.
• Perform durability CAE post-processing and conduct correlation studies based on physical test results.
• Collaborate with suppliers for durability CAE model development and test correlation.
• Assist with various subsystem durability studies of BIW and other components and provide feasible design solutions.
• Develop and maintain all durability models (full vehicle, closures, battery, and various other sub systems).
• Act as an effective point of contact to lead and leverage global engineering resources as needed.
• Demonstrate ability to perform durability analysis like shock analysis, fatigue strength, stiffness and strength analysis using Abaqus/Optistruct, and other CAE software as needed.
• Assist with NVH analysis such as BIW modal analysis, FRF analysis using NASTRAN (if needed).
• Perform design optimization through various optimization techniques such as Topology, Size, Shape, Free Shape optimization using Optistruct (if needed).
• Ability to perform quick design changes for study purposes using CATIA V6 (if needed).
• Prepare and deliver reports and other communications as needed to document durability project status.
• Demonstrate ability to keep up with the fast-paced design development cycle by providing results within a tight schedule.

Basic Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or foreign equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a closely related field and 3 years of experience in the job offered or closely related occupation.

Must possess expertise/ knowledge sufficient to adequately perform the duties of the job being offered. Expertise/ knowledge may be gained through employment experience or education. Such expertise/ knowledge cannot be "quantified" by "time." Required expertise/ knowledge includes:
