About The Position
Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc. When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do - but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here - we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it. Caterpillar Inc. seeks Engineer-Perf/Sim/App- Diesel & Electrification at its facility located at 2427 E. Engine Drive, Chillicothe, IL 61523. Accountable to provide plan and execute structural simulations of designs to validation the expanding portfolio of electrification cooling systems. Simulation-led design and validation is especially critical to enable robust product development for the fast-paced cooling electrification programs that include significant new content and complex system interactions. The engineer will execute planned simulations for electrification projects across various Caterpillar platforms. Primary responsibility is to use high-end finite element analysis (FEA) for virtual design and validation, contributing to the overall project plan. The engineer will provide analysis and simulation to develop and deploy technologies for battery / fuel cell thermal management. The engineer must have good communication skills to effectively collaborate with various product development teams to deliver validated design solutions to our challenging program deliverables and timelines simultaneously. The position includes strong collaboration with our design, system, and validation partners. Create and use FEA models either individually or in collaboration with supplier firms. Log quality issues and arrange for corrections to models. Contribute to and participate in peer reviews. Perform model setup, submit jobs to high-performance computing cluster. Perform simulations of static, modal, dynamic, and steady state heat transfer. Develop understanding of design capacity for strength and fatigue. Author reports containing assumptions, models, and results. Draw conclusions and make recommendations to design, system, and validation partners. Contribute to improvements in simulation methods and processes.
