Senior CAE Engineer ( Design)

What are we looking for: We are looking for a Senior CAE Engineer to lead simulation, analysis, and validation activities for UAV platforms and subsystems. The role involves performing advanced engineering simulations, supporting design decisions, optimizing product performance, and validating designs through correlation with testing data. You will work closely with design, avionics, manufacturing, and flight-test teams to ensure robust, lightweight, and reliable UAV systems.

Key Responsibilities • Perform structural, modal, vibration, thermal, and CFD simulations for UAV systems and components. • Develop, validate, and maintain CAE models for airframes, payloads, and mechanical subsystems. • Correlate simulation results with physical testing and experimental data. • Support design optimization for weight reduction, performance improvement, and reliability enhancement.

• Generate technical reports, analysis documentation, and certification support documents. • Participate in design reviews and provide engineering recommendations based on simulation results. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including design, avionics, manufacturing, and testing. • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical capability development within the team. • Drive innovative engineering solutions and support concept development activities.

• Manage multiple analysis projects while meeting quality and timeline requirements. Requirements • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline. • Minimum 3 years of experience in CAE, simulation, or engineering analysis. • Strong proficiency in FEA, CFD, and engineering simulation tools such as ANSYS, HyperWorks, Abaqus, Nastran, or similar platforms.

• Good understanding of structural mechanics, vibration, thermal analysis, and fluid dynamics. • Experience working with composite and metallic structures. • Ability to interpret test data and validate simulation models. • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. • Demonstrated leadership and mentoring capabilities. Preferred Qualifications • Experience in UAV, aerospace, automotive, defense, or robotics industries.

• Knowledge of aerospace design standards and certification requirements. • Exposure to lightweight structure design and optimization techniques. • Familiarity with flight-test data analysis and validation processes.
