- Perform explicit simulations with LS‑Dyna, such as crash analysis, sled tests, head impact tests, and airbag deployment simulations.

- Carry out biomechanics evaluations on dummies, considering OOP, airbag deployment, time‑to‑fire, and FMVSS201/ECE‑R21 regulations.

- Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to guide the design process, providing insights and recommendations supported by simulation validation.

- Ensure compliance with EMEA and NAFTA specifications and standards, and participate in face‑to‑face meetings with customers when required.

- Act as a thought leader, leveraging machine learning and AI applications to enhance simulation processes and engineering outcomes.

- Communicate effectively in English and preferably in French.

- Demonstrate autonomy while working collaboratively in a dynamic environment.

- Run correlation activities to generate digital twin models.

- Maintain extensive knowledge of automotive materials, understand differences, suggest solutions and alternatives, and create detailed material cards referencing temperature dependence, strain rates, GISSMO advanced failure model, etc.

- Handle elastoplastic, brittle, hyper‑elastic materials and glue and adhesive characteristics.





- Apply knowledge of mold processes and tolerance chain calculation.

- Solve physics problems using energy balance calculations.

Qualifications

-

- Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (valid and recognized in Europe or the United States). Bachelor’s degree is not sufficient.
