Engineer (NVH / Crash / Durability)


Location: Raymond, OH


Pay: $51.25 - $58.00/hr.

We are seeking a Senior Structural CAE Engineer to support advanced vehicle development through simulation-driven engineering. This role focuses on reducing physical testing through high-fidelity CAE analysis, model development, and validation across NVH, crash, strength, and durability domains.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform full-vehicle structural CAE simulations supporting NVH, crash, strength, and durability performance


• Develop, document, and validate new CAE methods to improve modeling accuracy and correlation to physical testing


• Build and maintain high-quality pre/post-processing models for full vehicle simulation studies


• Analyze and interpret simulation results to identify design risks, structural issues, and performance gaps


• Correlate CAE predictions with test data and drive continuous model improvement


• Support cross-functional engineering teams as a simulation subject matter expert and internal consultant


• Investigate complex engineering problems and provide independent technical judgment and solutions


• Own root cause analysis of simulation discrepancies and drive corrective actions


• Support replacement or reduction of physical testing through digital engineering methods

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field


• 10+ years of CAE/structural simulation experience in automotive or aerospace environments


• Strong expertise in at least one domain: NVH, crash, strength, or durability


• Advanced experience with CAE pre/post tools (ANSA, META, HyperWorks, ModSim, HyperView)


• Experience with solvers such as LS-DYNA, Abaqus (Standard/Explicit), Nastran, OptiStruct, or Actran


• Strong understanding of structural mechanics and simulation principles


• Proven ability to correlate simulation results with physical test data


• Strong independent problem-solving and analytical skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (may substitute for up to 2 years of experience)


• Experience across multiple domains (NVH, crash, durability)


• Strong history of developing new CAE methods or improving simulation workflows


• Experience working in OEM or Tier 1 automotive development environments

Key Competencies

• Independent engineering judgment and problem ownership


• Strong validation and correlation mindset


• Ability to challenge assumptions and drive technical improvements


• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
