CAE Analyst – Crash Simulation (ANSA - LS-DYNA / PAM-CRASH / LS-Prepost / Meta Post )

Job Summary:

We are seeking a CAE Analyst with strong hands-on experience in crash simulations using LS-DYNA or 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 or 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.

Bachelor’s/ Master’s  Degree in Engineering  in Mechanical / Automobile Engineering.

Required Skills & Load Case Experience:

Crash Simulation Tools:

• Strong hands-on experience in LS-DYNA or PAM-CRASH
• Familiarity with pre/post tools like ANSA, Meta Post, Animator

Crash Load Case Knowledge:

Frontal Crash:

• ODB – Offset Deformable Barrier
• FWR – Full Width Rigid
• MPDB – Mobile Progressive Deformable Barrier
• RCAR – Frontal crash (repairability)

Side Crash:

• POLE33 / POLE45 – Oblique Pole Impact
• MDB / AEMDB – Side impact with deformable barrier

Rear Crash:

• MRB1100 – Rear 50% Overlap
• MRB1800 – Rear Full Overlap

Pedestrian Protection:

• HEADNCAP – Headform to bonnet/windshield
• HEAD(REG) – Regulation-based tests
• UPPERLEG – Upper legform to bumper
