The Company:
Faraday Future (FF) is a California-based mobility company, leveraging the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility. We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles to establish new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.
Your Role:
- Perform a leading role in the development of durability loads, correlation, analysis, and results reporting.
- Build state-of-the-art FE models using BETA CAE ANSA and other simulation software.
- Perform finite element analysis for component, system, and full vehicle durability load cases.
- Develop strategies to achieve durability attributes at minimum cost, weight, and complexity.
- Perform durability CAE post-processing and conduct correlation studies based on physical test results.
- Collaborate with suppliers for durability CAE model development and test correlation.
- Assist with various subsystem durability studies of BIW and other components and provide feasible design solutions.
- Develop and maintain all durability models (full vehicle, closures, battery, and various other sub systems).
- Act as an effective point of contact to lead and leverage global engineering resources as needed.
- Demonstrate ability to perform durability analysis like shock analysis, fatigue strength, stiffness and strength analysis using Abaqus/Optistruct, and other CAE software as needed.
- Assist with NVH analysis such as BIW modal analysis, FRF analysis using NASTRAN (if needed).
- Perform design optimization through various optimization techniques such as Topology, Size, Shape, Free Shape optimization using Optistruct (if needed).
- Ability to perform quick design changes for study purposes using CATIA V6 (if needed).
- Prepare and deliver reports and other communications as needed to document durability project status.
- Demonstrate ability to keep up with the fast-paced design development cycle by providing results within a tight schedule.
Basic Qualifications:
