We are team players who embrace challenges and support each other in both technical and personal development. We expect success in our deliveries and take necessary actions to make it happen.
There are always open possibilities for personal development, depending on your interest, self-drive and your initiative. We will support you to reach your full potential.
What You´ll Do
You will build concepts models and evaluate system interactions and requirements cross attributes to enable program integration readiness according to System Architect’s needs. You will also develop detailed product models and validate with physical tests aligned with our product ownership. You are expected to actively contribute to method development.
You will be responsible for performing CAE simulations and recommend design choices for weight efficiency, durability, and pedestrian safety loadcases, but you need to be open for working on various analyses areas depending on dimensioning requirements and new product offers from our department.
