Expleo Group
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.
