CAD & CAE Engineer

  • Location: Sderot, Israel (On-site)
  • Reports to: VP R&D
  • CV submission email: [email protected]

Key Responsibilities

  • Create and modify CAD models (parts and assemblies) to support design iterations and optimization.
  • Develop and execute simulation models to evaluate structural, thermal, and Multiphysics performance.
  • Perform analyses including static, dynamic, vibration, fatigue, and nonlinear simulations.
  • Drive simulation-informed design changes, improving performance, weight, cost, and reliability.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, electrical, and system engineers to define requirements and integrate subsystems.
  • Build and validate high-fidelity models, including material definitions, contacts, and realistic boundary conditions.
  • Correlate simulation results with experimental/test data and refine both models and designs.
  • Support product development from concept through prototyping, validation (DVT/PVT), and production.
  • Apply DFM/DFA principles to ensure designs are manufacturable and scalable.
  • Generate engineering drawings, GD&T, and documentation for production release.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical.
  • Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, or similar).
  • Hands-on experience with CAE tools (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, HyperWorks).
  • Experience designing real-world components.
  • Understanding of tolerances, fits, materials, and manufacturing processes.
  • Ability to connect simulation assumptions with practical design decisions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with battery systems, enclosures, or high-power electromechanical products.
  • Background in nonlinear simulations (contacts, plastics, thermal coupling).
  • Experience with vibration, shock, and fatigue design.
  • Familiarity with sheet metal, castings, extrusions, and plastics design.
  • Experience working closely with testing teams for validation and correlation

Personal Attributes

  • Strong engineering ownership – comfortable owning both analysis and design outcomes.
  • Practical and solution-oriented.
  • Detail-oriented with good engineering judgment.
  • Effective communicator across disciplines.
