Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is one of the world's largest tire manufacturers, employing around 63,000 people and operating in 49 facilities globally. They are seeking a highly motivated Principal Engineer to develop models and methods for tire performance, focusing on NVH modeling strategy and finite element analysis tools.
Responsibilities
- Drive, maintain and support the NVH modeling strategy
- Support finite element code and methods development with focus on solid mechanics and acoustics applications for tire performance prediction
- Support other engineers in the team via training, user support, debugging of design and performance concepts, and any special needs in the tire performance tools
- Collaborate with the other engineers on the team to identify new or revised tire performance technologies, develop rules regarding those standards and technologies, document and codify such rules into knowledge manuals, and implement those rules, standards, and technologies in the tire performance manual
- Participate in the design, development, and industrialization of tire engineering projects (applied and fundamental) which result in new tire products, processes, tools and technologies
Skills
- MSc. degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Civil or Aerospace Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or similar
- Strong theoretical knowledge in structural dynamics and acoustics
- General graduate knowledge in computational solid mechanics, multiscale methods, computational acoustics, (including nonlinear finite elements, acoustics, material models (rubber, shells), contact mechanics, validation testing and model updating)
- Knowledge of numerical simulation tools like Abaqus, Nastran or Ansys with focus on NVH Simulations
- Use of basic development systems/practices: Git, IDEs, Agile
- Have a strong interest in solving practical FEA and simulation problems linked to NVH. Demonstrated ability to solve complex problems and to transfer technology to practical application
- Experience working in groups and on multiple projects and working in a Linux environment
- Excellent communication, interpersonal and motivational skills and experience with other programming languages (Bash, Python, JavaScript)
- Ph.D. degree in structural dynamics and/or acoustics is a plus
- Work experience of 10 years or more as a developer of Numerical Simulation or Multiphysics tools with focus on structural dynamics and acoustics
- Hands-on experience with NVH testing and signal processing is a plus
- Good knowledge of modern programming languages like Python and C++
