**Position Responsibilities**
The purpose of this position is to supply lightweight / low-fidelity CAE analysis to support early product development and the analysis needs of program-specific System Integration Teams. An employee in this position will also need to be skilled in modern systems engineering tools and methodologies. The employee will also need to:
- Demonstrate key systems engineering technical knowledge, engineering, and management practice in areas such as requirements definition, architecture, system analysis, integration, verification, validation, change management, configuration management, linked data, product line engineering, measurement, risk, quality, and knowledge management.
- Develop and document systems-level architecture and design using a Model-Based Engineering Approach and tools.
- Develop, support, and lead the execution of the systems-level concept of operations system and subsystem requirements, and system-level verification.
- Conduct system-level analysis, architecture, optimization, and requirements trade studies
- Support program related projects to develop system simulations
- Integrates or knits together CAE and simulations to MBSE models as well as downstream activities in design and manufacturing
- Prepare any required documentation, including specifications and verification reports
- Work with cross-functional teams to cascade realistic and true targets to deliver quality and value to the customer and company. (EPLM, VA, FEDE, Functions).
- Develop innovative cross-functional solutions that deliver the vehicle targets for cost, weight and performance and meet the customer needs and expectations.
- Drive trade-off discussions in the Systems Engineering Reviews
- Develop new methods for system optimization and drive into the engineering process.
- Use SysML (Magic Draw) to document system information
- Engage closely with third-parties, such as Caresoft, for benchmarking cost, weight, and complexity investigations
- Assists in developing and processing cross-functional (systems) CMFs/CRFs, Q-forms, etc. with functional owners
- Identifies opportunity areas for optimization, mass, weight, and part reduction
- Contributes to total cost and other attributes & metrics within SET
- Drives cost reduction, weight minimization, quality improvements
Challenges requirements based of CAE analysis, benchmarking, and systems approaches
