Job description

Role : Vehicle - Crash Analyst

Location : Invine, CA - Onsite

6-12+ Months Contract

Role Summary :

We are seeking a Vehicle Crash Analyst with hands-on experience in vehicle safety, crash simulations, and structural analysis . The ideal candidate will have expertise in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools and a deep understanding of vehicle dynamics, crashworthiness, occupant safety, and structural integrity . The analyst will work closely with design and testing teams to improve vehicle performance and meet global safety standards.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Perform crash simulation and analysis (frontal, side, rear, rollover, and pedestrian impact).
  • Develop and validate FE models of vehicle structures, subsystems, and components.
  • Use explicit dynamic simulation tools (e.g., LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH, RADIOSS) for crash performance evaluation.
  • Analyze crash test data and correlate simulation results with physical test outcomes.
  • Support design optimization for improved safety, weight reduction, and compliance with regulatory standards (FMVSS, NCAP, IIHS, etc.).
  • Generate detailed technical reports and present findings to cross-functional teams.
  • Collaborate with CAD, CAE, and safety teams to implement design improvements.
  • Support test planning, setup, and post-test analysis for prototype vehicles.

Required Skills & Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical / Automotive / Aerospace Engineering.
  • Overall IT Experience : 8-15 Years
  • 3-8 years of experience in crash analysis, vehicle safety, or CAE simulation.
  • Proficiency in LS-DYNA / HyperMesh / ANSA / RADIOSS / Abaqus .
  • Strong understanding of vehicle structure, materials, occupant safety, and restraint systems .
  • Experience with crash test correlation and validation .
  • Good knowledge of regulatory and consumer crash standards (FMVSS, ECE, NCAP, etc.).
  • Ability to analyze large data sets and provide actionable engineering insights.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills.

    • Good-to-Have Skills :

  • Knowledge of Python / MATLAB for data automation and post-processing.
  • Exposure to occupant safety system modeling (airbags, seatbelts).
  • Familiarity with optimization tools (OptiStruct, HyperStudy).
  • Experience with battery safety and EV crash modeling is a plus.
