About GTEC

Transforming Vision into Reality: The Global Technology & Engineering Centre. Where India's world-class talent architects the next generation of home innovation.

The team you will be a part of

The Engineering team discovers, develops and evaluates new product ideas, enhancements, or strategic product extensions, and translates research discoveries into usable and marketable products. Leads, plans and tracks all phases of the product life cycle, from inception to introduction into the marketplace. Coordinates with various functions to ensure successful product development and implementation.

This Role In Summary

To validate dishwasher components, sub-systems under real-world loads using Structural Simulations

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Project & Problem Definition: Understand project requirements, physical problems, and design requirements. Convert simple physical/field problems into simulation problems (defining Boundary Conditions) with guidance from Senior or Lead CAE Specialists.
• Simulation Execution: Independently perform component-level, sub-system level simulations, postprocess the results with engineering judgement, and deliver design/ engineering solutions to platform engineers (with guidance from senior SBD engineers or team leads).
• Application of Tools: Use engineering tools to verify designs for performance, assembly, reliability, manufacturability, and safety.
• Cross-functional Communication: Communicate simulation outputs effectively with various stakeholders via simulation reports and project discussions.
• Design Reviews & Risk Assessment: Support design reviews and program risk assessments by providing relevant simulation inputs.
• IP & Knowledge Management: Contribute ideation toward Intellectual Property (IP), and generate and capture knowledge for future reuse.
• Capability Development: Responsible for improvement of simulation fidelity.
  
  

Minimum Requirements

EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS : M.Tech/ ME from Mechanical

EXPERIENCE: 3-6 years

TECHNICAL

• Engineering & Simulation Fundamentals. Proficient knowledge of Engineering Fundamentals and Engineering concepts
• Analysis Tool Proficiency (proficiency in FEA tools ANSYS Workbench, Basic understanding of Hypermesh & LSdyna )
• Proficient in Result interpretation & Attribute Analysis.
• Green Belt trained (hands-on experience/awareness of Six Sigma, OPEX, and Lean tools) as well as a basic knowledge of the WPD process.
• Problem Solving Capability.
• Product & Subsystem Knowledge
• The engineer should have the ability to work independently for the component & subsystem level simulation, and be able to replicate the physics in the FEA model, and also post-process the results with engineering judgements.
• Experience in Nonlinear simulations, hyperelastic material solving and able to debug the convergence issue independently.
