We are looking for qualified individuals with diverse backgrounds, experiences, continuous improvement values, and a strong work ethic to join our team.

If your goals and values align with Honda’s, we want you to join our team to Bring the Future!

As a senior member of the Advanced CAE Department, you will be responsible for creating and validating 1D CAE models and processes related to vehicle dynamics, powertrain propulsion & thermal systems, and electrical systems. Proficient use of CAE contributes to improved optimization, speed, and efficiency of our products and development processes.

• Develop CAE methods that accurately represent the part or system of interest. Model fidelity should match the type of decision being made with the model. Model development will be for both specification setting early in development and product verification as designs mature.  During and after development of a CAE method, conduct validation of the method with respect to the physical system the method represents, to ensure the fidelity needed is achieved
• Collaborate with test and part design engineers to understand the physical part and test procedures to accurately set the CAE model boundaries, constraints, and assumptions
• Create documentation that clearly explains the CAE model inputs, assumptions, setup, process, validation, and outputs 

• BS, MS, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering
• 0 years of experience with Masters or a PhD
• 2 years of experience with BS
• Proficient with 1D CAE such as MATLAB/Simulink/Simscape, CarSim, CarMaker, Simpack/Adams, AmeSim. Also proficient with programming language software such as Python, and VBA
• Experience with the creation of CAE Models and performing verification and validation
• Ability to break down complex concepts into simple summaries
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
