Key Responsibilities

• ls-dyna
• load path
• structural sections
• virtual sign‑off
• crashworthiness design
• program cycle

Tasks

Use expertise to correlate virtual to physical. Sign-off virtual performance based on simulation models, with clear documentation of results and recommendations. Develop and define structural sections for lead structures and load paths to withstand front, side, rear, and roof crash modes. Evaluating energy absorption, structural integrity, and vehicle behavior under different impacts. Create load path designs for high-speed and low-speed crash scenarios, balancing structural demands and optimizing energy absorption. Focuses on designing, analyzing, and optimizing crashworthiness structures to enhance vehicle safety performance. Responsibilities include simulating structural behavior in various crash scenarios, developing lead structures, defining sections, and ensuring compliance with safety standards throughout the entire program from concept to launch. Conduct crashworthiness simulations using LS-DYNA to predict structural integrity and impact protection. Include characterized data in LS-DYNA to accurately simulate complex failure patterns under various crash conditions. Participate in full program cycles from initial concept development to product launch, contributing to safety development and crash optimization.
