Battle Motors prides itself on delivering efficient, effective solutions for the heavy-duty work truck industry.   With the evolution of our new EV (Electric Vehicle) technology, we are growing faster than ever. 

At Battle Motors, we believe the most fulfilling place to work is where extraordinary people collaborate to solve difficult problems.

We are currently searching for a CAE Engineer specializing in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and other Computer Assisted Engineering (CAE) disciplines to join our team, to help us grow and scale and continue our tradition of success. The CAE Engineer is responsible for conducting both basic and complex FEA analyses as well as directing the team through physical data collection for model correlation. This is a senior engineering position that will have the opportunity to build systems and procedures around structural analyses for Battle Motors.

This role is very critical to our extreme growth and the ideal candidate will be an experienced engineer with a business mind, a savvy leader, very organized, and familiar with heavy truck parts/automotive product development and is familiar with the intricacies of a fast-paced environment, have a strong desire for growth and be a great communicator. 

This position is a hybrid role that can be conducted in a remote location primarily but will require at least 50% regular travel to the Battle Motors facility in New Philadelphia, OH. 

Role and Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain standardized processes and procedures for simulation projects, including receipt of requests, data collection, and reporting. 
• Conduct FEA simulations including structural response to dynamic loading, modal analysis, and fatigue.
• Consult with design engineers on how to prepare designs for structural robustness and efficiency, ahead of computer      analysis.
• Advise on real-world data collection for model correlation.
• Analyze test data and compile results into standardized simulation inputs for fatigue and other analyses.
• Work collaboratively with design engineering and R&D teams during the New Product Introduction (NPI) process to ensure the highest quality products are delivered.
• Review customer drawings and specifications to determine requirements and/or feasibility of product.
• Facilitate NPI (new product introductions) process for product development and identify requirements for new products in the market
• Perform advanced work in development of working layouts and final master parts, assembly, and drawings.
• Act as a liaison between Engineering and other departments/personnel.
