Senior Engineer, Computer Aided Design & Drafting - Celanese

LOCATION - Wilmington, DE or Auburn Hills, MI - Hybrid

The CAE group consists of engineers who apply state-of-the-art computer modeling techniques utilizing world-class mechanical testing to support customer applications with predictive material models and design guidance.

• Simulation - perform stress analysis on structural parts and develop understanding of processing simulation techniques and application of advanced material models for customer simulation support
• Advanced material modeling - calibrate and validate isotropic and anisotropic
• material models on a variety of materials for static and complex loading scenarios such as thermo-mechanical, impact, vibration, creep, and fatigue
• Integration with lab - develop an understanding of sample workflow and lab measurements from pellet to test data
• Data processing - clean and convert raw data for material model calibration and validation
• Translate results - effective communication across cross-functional teams or customers
