CAE Automation Engineer

Overview

CAE Automation Engineer – Stellantis

Role Overview:CAE Automation Engineer responsible for developing and implementing automation solutions to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and turnaround time of CAE simulation processes. The role involves automating repetitive pre-processing, simulation setup, post-processing, reporting, and data-management activities across various CAE domains.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop automation scripts/tools for CAE pre-processing, solver execution, post-processing, and report generation.
• Automate repetitive simulation workflows and reduce manual engineering effort.
• Develop customized solutions using Python, MATLAB, VBA, or similar scripting/programming languages.
• Work with CAE tools such as ANSA, META, HyperMesh, LS-DYNA, Abaqus, Nastran, or equivalent.
• Automate model preparation, mesh checks, boundary-condition setup, load-case creation, solver deck generation, and result extraction.
• Develop automated post-processing and visualization of CAE results.
• Create dashboards, templates, and automated reports for engineering teams.
• Integrate CAE tools with databases, Excel, PLM systems, and other engineering applications.
• Understand existing CAE processes and identify opportunities for automation, standardization, and productivity improvement.
• Collaborate with CAE engineers to convert manual engineering activities into robust automated workflows.
• Perform validation and debugging of automation scripts and ensure reliability of automated processes.
• Support deployment, documentation, and maintenance of automation solutions.
