Overview
CAE Analyst – Crash Simulation (ANSA \- LS\-DYNA / PAM\-CRASH / LS\-Prepost / Meta Post )
Responsibilities
We are seeking a CAE Analyst with strong hands\-on experience in **crash simulations using LS\-DYNA/Pam Crash** . The ideal candidate should have a deep understanding of various vehicle crash test scenarios including regulatory, NCAP, and OEM\-specific load cases. The analyst will be responsible for model setup, execution, result analysis, and reporting for frontal, side, rear, pedestrian, and seat integrity crash tests. **Key Responsibilities:*** Set up, run, and validate **crash simulations** using **LS\-DYNA/PAM Crash**.
- Apply appropriate **material models, contacts, boundary conditions, and loadings** for each crash event.
- Interpret and analyze crash test results (intrusion, acceleration, deformation, injury criteria, etc.).
- Deliver technical insights and recommendations to design and safety teams.
- Ensure model compliance with **OEM guidelines**, **NCAP protocols**, and **global crash regulations**.
- Participate in debugging, result correlation, and model improvement activities.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s/ Master’s Degree in Engineering in Mechanical / Automobile Engineering.
