• Carry out development of methods and tools.

Do you have big dreams? So do we, and we're excited to grow together. In this position, the main requirements are:

• Solid experience and proven knowledge with FEA analysis (related to stresses, vibrations, fatigue) and CFD (aerodynamics, flow, heat transfer) for technical solutions, preferably in the automotive or heavy vehicle industry;

• Proficiency with pre-processing tools (e.g. HyperMesh and ANSA) for mesh generation and model preparation in addition to post-processing (e.g. nCode);

• Perform CFD simulations to analyze and optimize the aerodynamic performance of commercial vehicles;

• Assist in the development and validation of aerodynamic models;

• Proficient in StarCCM+ software, ANSYS Fluent, Powerflow or similar tools;

• Knowledge in other virtual simulation analyses, such as: crash, vehicle dynamics and NVH, will be a great advantage;

• Fluent in English is essential;

• A difference is a master's degree in the area;

• Knowledge of programming languages (Phyton, Matlab, etc.) will be an advantage.

• Ability to work independently (being responsible for delivering on time and with the expected quality), in addition to having the ability to work in a group, managing different challenges and expectations of interested parties is essential;

• Analytical problem-solving skills are essential;
