Using leading CAE tools, you’ll transform ideas into validated solutions that deliver performance and commercial success.

 

Job Responsibilities

 

  • Predictive engineering: Lead simulation projects using tools such as Hyperworks, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, or Ansys.

 

  • Structural performance: Apply FEA to assess static, dynamic, impact, fatigue, and creep in thermoplastic components.

 

  • Validation: Align predictive models with experimental data for accuracy.

 

  • Design optimization: Refine designs using simulations to deliver cost-effective solutions.

 

  • Problem-solving: Troubleshoot customer challenges with simulation-driven insights.

 

  • Collaboration: Work with global teams to deliver CAE-based design solutions that differentiate SABIC products.

 

  • Material modelling: Develop and validate models for thermoplastic materials

 

MINIMUM EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

 

  • PhD/MS/M.Tech in Mechanical/Automotive Engineering, Polymer Science, or related fields.

 

  • 2–5 years’ experience in structural simulations for automotive or industrial applications (EV, AV, battery tech preferred).

 

  • Strong foundation in strength of materials, structural mechanics, machine design and FEA.

 

  • Hands-on expertise in Hyperworks, CAE tools  such as Abaqus, LS-DYNA, Ansys, CAD tools such as Solidworks

 

  • Proven ability to interpret results, optimize designs, and prepare technical reports.

 

  • Experience in plastic material modeling and predictive engineering for thermoplastic applications.

 

  • Strong communication and ability to work in a global team environment.
