Sr. Manager Durability CAE

Lead the structural durability and fatigue sign-offs for all critical systems, including Body-in-White, chassis, frames, and EV-specific battery structures. Oversee complex, full-vehicle explicit simulations involving sand dune impacts, rock scrapes, and lateral curb strikes while ensuring numerical stability through rigorous analysis of energy plots and mass scaling. Drive the development of next-generation CAE workflows, focusing on advanced material failure modeling, in-house fatigue S-N curve generation, and the integration of AI/Machine Learning for automation. Manage a multidisciplinary engineering team, providing deep technical coaching and defining professional development pathways. Partner closely with Design, Physical Testing, Materials, and Program teams to ensure structural integrity is prioritized during the earliest architectural phases. Establish robust simulation and reporting standards to ensure all technical presentations provide clear, actionable design recommendations to executive stakeholders.
