Original job description

Requisition Summary

The PACCAR Technical Center is seeking an experienced Senior Structural & Dynamics CAE Engineer to drive innovation in heavy-duty truck development. You will leverage advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and vehicle dynamics simulation to deliver best-in-class durability, ride quality, handling, and NVH performance.

In this role, you'll partner directly with Kenworth and Peterbilt engineering teams to predict design viability, validate concepts through simulation-to-test correlation, and translate complex technical findings into actionable recommendations. You'll balance technical excellence with project leadership - managing timelines, and cross-functional resources while staying at the forefront of emerging vehicle technologies (electrification, autonomous systems, alternative fuels).

The ideal candidate combines 7+ years of CAE expertise with strong analytical skills, proven project management ability, and a commitment to continuous process improvement in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Company Information

Execute comprehensive FEA analysis across components, assemblies, and full-vehicle platforms using industry-standard tools (ABAQUS, Optistruct, LSDYNA).
Develop and validate complex multi-body dynamics models (ADAMS, Motionview, Simpack) to support load case development and vehicle dynamics analysis.
Perform advanced fatigue and durability life predictions using specialized calculators (nCode, FE-Safe) with rigorous correlation to physical testing data.
Support model setup, meshing, and post-processing activities using HyperMesh/HyperView or similar tools.
Collaborate with validation teams to define data acquisition plan, review measured data and provide simulation feedback.
Own multi-project execution end-to-end, coordinating resources, managing dependencies, and ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery.
Proactively identify and mitigate project risks; adapt to shifting priorities and emerging requirements.
Synthesize simulation results into clear, compelling narratives for engineering stakeholders at all levels.
Deliver evidence-based design recommendations with quantified trade-offs and risk assessments.
Author comprehensive technical reports documenting methodology, validation approaches, results, and lessons learned.
Champion best-in-class simulation practices, identify opportunities to refine correlation methods, tools, and processes.
Stay current with industry advancements in CAE, AI/ML-assisted optimization, and digital engineering.
Support development of next-generation vehicle technologies: battery electric vehicles (BEVs), autonomous driving systems, alternative fuel powertrains, and advanced suspension architectures.

Qualifications

10+ years of engineering experience
Experience with structural CAE, durability, or vehicle dynamics
Experience with nonlinear FEA (ABAQUS, LS-DYNA, or similar)
Experience with pre/post-processing tools (HyperMesh, HyperView, or equivalent)
Understanding of fatigue and durability analysis methodologies
Experience correlating CAE with test data

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
