**Engineer for Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)**
**Location:** Denmark, Billund
**Job Category:** Engineering
**Posted:** 1/15/2015
**Job ID:** DK1923
Do you have Finite Element experience? This is an opportunity to use your skills in a systematic, yet creative position where you can immerse yourself into technical details and focus on day-to-day assignments from internal LEGO Customers.
Increase productivity and quality of new LEGO Elements and their production
Our goal is to minimise the risks associated with developing new LEGO Elements and moulds for injection moulding - based on strength and flow simulations. Your role will include:
- Use Moldex3D for simulating the injection moulding process like predicting filling, packing, cooling and warpage
- Use MSC.Marc doing non-linear simulations on plastic parts where large deformations, high plasticity and contacts primarily are of interest
- Use MSC.Marc as a simulation tool for supporting the development of injection moulds by doing non-linear simulations like multi contact analysis with several load cases
- Solving tasks by using simulations for internal LEGO Customers like part designers and tool constructors - this will be your main task particularly in the beginning to get a full understanding of LEGO Elements and their production methods
- Developing, verifying and using new simulation principles to increase performance and precision in the simulations done by the CAE department
- Translating simulations to understandable real-life findings and communicating findings and knowledge throughout the Engineering organisation in an understandable way
You will join 5 colleagues in the CAE department whose primary focus is to support Part designers and Tool constructors with conclusions and advice based on FEM analyses.
Collaboration from A to Z
The LEGO Group is an internationally, family-owned business and collaboration shapes everything we do. Together with your specialist colleagues, you can take our CAE calculations to a higher level with even more precise calculations and develop new CAE methods to attack the problems with. In this position, you work as part of a team that ultimately ensures that we produce the best and safest toys for children and their development.
FEM experience and good analytical and communication skills
The challenge is to systematically use your knowledge of physical powers and pair it with complicated FEM tools to set up the best simulation models. To be successful, you are able to find solutions independently, work as part of a team to translate the numbers into findings and communicate them to the business in a way that is easily understood by all. In addition, you:
- Have 3+ years of experience in the injection moulding industry conducting simulations, ideally combined with a background in the plastics industry
- Have experience with FEM tools and a theoretical understanding of moulding, probably from a Mechanical Engineering degree
- Have strong analytical and people skills, as you will work in project groups across functions
- Are interested in executing on simulation tasks ordered by LEGO Customers, while also working on development projects - and you shine when you get to challenge existing solutions
Join the global family of LEGO®
In the LEGO Group, we succeed together, and you will be part of a global family where you will collaborate across the LEGO Community.
