CAE Engineer - Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaic (m/w/x)

Your tasks

Engineers on the ViPV Team (Sono Solar) are at the leading edge of next-generation Vehicle Integrated solar products. As a CAE Engineer you will be responsible for analyzing and optimizing the performance of revolutionary Solar products. The role requires strong fundamentals, a passion to push the boundaries of technology and the tenacity to make designs successful. Our design requirements challenge the limits of physical possibility, which requires you to be extremely detail-oriented in supporting the design engineers making smart tradeoffs. Does this sound like a challenge you feel suited to accept? Then please keep reading!Your tasks:

• Project responsibility for thermo-mechanical, structural, and fatigue analysis of Integrated Polymer PV Modules
• Development and implementation of procedures, programs, or methods to improve product quality and the results within CAE Engineering
• Development of highly predictive material models and processes to enable good correlations with physical tests
• Provide recommendations based on the analysis, including potential solutions to issues
• Supply input for the creation of component specification, component DFMEA, and other technical design documents in order to provide clear and detailed results including reports, summary sheets, and charts
• Documentation of the CAE-calculation status 
• Responsibility for the CAE data structure

Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical/Aerospace/Automotive Engineering or similar
