About the role

The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.
Working under the guidance of senior engineers, this role offers an excellent opportunity to grow within a dynamic, startup-paced environment.
The successful candidate may also be eligible to participate in the equity program and/or a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing such programs.

Support NVH and durability analysis for BIW, HV Battery structure, Trimmed Body, and full vehicle structures using tools such as ANSA, Optistruct, and nCode Design Life.
Assist in building, running, and debugging full vehicle NVH and durability models using pre-processing tools like ANSA and HyperMesh.
Analyze simulation results, identify design issues, and provide recommendations for improvement.
Perform iterative simulations to optimize component and vehicle-level performance targets.
Support vehicle and component testing activities and assist in correlating CAE results with physical test data.
Help apply engineering methods and tools including DOE and design optimization techniques.

Must have the ability to travel (up to 10%).
Must have the ability to lift up to 35 pounds.
Must have the ability to stand, walk, and perform repetitive tasks for extended periods.
Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent, from an ABET-accredited or equivalent program.
3-5 years of automotive structures CAE experience, with exposure to NVH and/or durability analysis.
Strong oral and written communication skills with the ability to present technical findings clearly.
Familiarity with tools such as nCode, Optistruct / NASTRAN, ANSA, and Hyper Works.
Solid foundation in mechanical engineering principles and their application to product development.
Ability to work both independently and as part of a cross-functional team.
Eagerness to learn, problem-solve, and grow within a fast-moving organization.
Basic understanding of NVH concepts including source-path-receiver thinking for structure-borne vibration and airborne noise.
Exposure to modal analysis, vibration targets, or frequency response analysis is an advantage.
Experience or exposure to CAE-test correlation is desirable.
Experience with electric propulsion systems is desirable, including structural CAE for battery enclosures, battery trays, or high-voltage pack integration within the vehicle architecture.

Prepare technical reports summarizing simulation results, findings, and improvement actions.
