ABOUT Re:Car dba Slate

Re:Car dba Slate is a new company that is exploring development in the electric vehicle space.  

Who we are looking for 

Re:Car dba Slate is looking for an energetic, organized, experienced Battery Pack CAE Engineer to join our growing team. This position is responsible for performing CAE simulations to develop and optimize EV body structure. This position reports to the Virtual Engineering Manager and will work with our battery, body, electrical and other teams throughout the organization.

What you get to do  

• Set subsystem and component level requirements for battery packs.
• Work with CAE tools to lead and guide the battery design to meet the requirements.
• Develop loadcases that satisfy the Crash Safety, Durability, and NVH requirements.
• Use pre-processing tools like Ansa/Hypermesh to create and debug a high-fidelity battery pack FEA model.
• Use post-processing tools such as Meta/Hyperworks to post-process the simulation results.
• Identify the root cause of the problem and suggest recommendations for improving the design.
• Find optimized solutions while considering integrated subsystem and component level requirements.
• Provide guidance on the verification tests needed to confirm CAE results and be involved in testing and CAE correlation.
• Apply advanced methods like DOE/DFSS to optimize the design.
• Communicate the CAE results and countermeasures with the cross-functional teams by creating clear and detailed reports of the analysis.

What you bring to the Team 

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering or equivalent from an ABET accredited or equivalent program.    
• Master’s degree preferred. 
• Minimum 5 years of experience in performing battery pack simulations for Crash Safety, NVH, and Durability.
• Strong experience with CAE Tools : LS-Dyna, Abaqus, Nastran, ANSA/META, Hyperview/Hypermesh.
• Knowledge of typical battery pack components, their functions, and requirements.
• Knowledge of FMVSS, USNCAP, and IIHSbattery pack requirements.
• Knowledge of optimization tools and techniques.
• Knowledge of applying engineering fundaments in the development.
• Ability to work independently from start to end.
• Strong oral and verbal communication skills.
• Act as a team player and problem solver.
• Experience with correlation of CAE and Test results.
• Experience with FEA modeling of long fiber composite components is preferred.
