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.
