The PACCAR Technical Center is seeking an experienced CAE – Structural & Dynamics Engineer to drive innovation in heavy-duty truck development. You will leverage advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and vehicle dynamics simulation to deliver best-in-class durability, ride quality, handling, and NVH performance.
In this role, you'll partner directly with Kenworth and Peterbilt engineering teams to predict design viability, validate concepts through simulation-to-test correlation, and translate complex technical findings into actionable recommendations. You'll balance technical excellence with project leadership—managing timelines, and cross-functional resources while staying at the forefront of emerging vehicle technologies (electrification, autonomous systems, alternative fuels).
The ideal candidate combines 5+ years of CAE expertise with strong analytical skills, proven project management ability, and a commitment to continuous process improvement in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
