Crash Simulation Engineer

Piper Companies is looking for a Crash Simulation Engineer to join a growing government contractor. This role is fully remote and requires the candidate to obtain a Public Trust.

 Essential Duties of the Crash Simulation Engineer:

• Plan, design, coordinate and control the progress of project work to meet client objectives
• Lead technical efforts and keep up to date with current industry best practices
• Create sled FE models, position various crash test dummies and human FE models, carry out vehicle impacts and perform injury analysis
• Perform post simulation data analysis such as injury analysis per FMVSS/NCAP regulations and statistical techniques

Qualifications of the Crash Simulation Engineer:

• Master's degree in mechanical engineering is preferred
• Experience in the evaluation of laboratory test results from impact testing including vehicles, vehicle components, anthropomorphic dummies, and/or post mortem human subjects
• 2+ years experience with running vehicle crash simulations using LS-DYNA
• Demonstrated experience in performing post-crash simulation injury analysis such as HIC, BrIC, Nij, femur/tibia forces etc.
• LS-OPT experience, Design of Experiments (DOE), optimization

 Compensation for the Crash Simulation Engineer:

• $100,000 - $120,000 (based on experience)
• Fully Remote
• Comprehensive benefit package; Cigna Medical, Cigna Dental, Vision, 401k w/ ADP, PTO, paid holidays, sick Leave as required by law

This job opens for applications on 9/17/25. Applications for this job will be accepted for at least 30 days from the posting date
