CAE Specialist, Structural Simulation

Job Description
Are you passionate about driving innovation in simulation capabilities and CAE infrastructure for processing equipment?
Bring your expertise in computer-aided engineering (CAE), your complex problem-solving skills, and your collaborative approach to partner management to our CAE team. Join us in shaping the future of LEGO® by optimizing and developing the processes that bring our iconic bricks to life!

Core Responsibilities
As CAE Specialist your main responsibility is to perform structural simulations in support of the operational towards internal processing equipment, such as current and future flex equipment to novelties and simulation of element shaker plates and more.

You take part in proactively developing new simulation capabilities to support value creating in the processing of elements such as pad printing. As a strong technical engineer, you will drive and coordinate activities to maintain, operationalize and develop key CAE & Processing infrastructure and capabilities in close collaboration with the team. Furthermore, you will:

• Collaborate with the CAE Operations & Processing Team: Support development activities and contribute to the overall success of the team.
• Support Complex Troubleshooting: Assist colleagues and partners in resolving technical challenges related to processing equipment.
• Perform Structural Simulations: Conduct simulations to enhance the development and performance of processing equipment.
• Provide Guidance: Offer insights and advice to engineers based on the analysis of CAE simulation results.
• Ensure Quality and Consistency: Align with internal customers to maintain high standards and value in CAE services.
• Improve CAE Tools: Contribute to the ongoing validation and enhancement of simulation tools and methods.
• Lead and Innovate: Act as a technical leader and advocate for continuous improvement within the CAE department.

Play your part in our team succeeding
The CAE department provides simulation support to the engineering development within the LEGO Group.
