The Opportunity
Are you a proactive and motivated engineer looking to make a significant impact in the field of tire development? Join our dynamic Engineering Mechanics team at the Goodyear Innovation Center in Luxembourg We are seeking a talented individual to support product development through advanced finite element analysis (FEA) and other modeling techniques.
In This Role, You Will
* Optimize Tire Performance: Be responsible for advanced modeling of virtual tires to enhance handling, traction, comfort, wear, and other key performance areas, supporting a zero-physical prototype approach.
* Collaborate with a Dynamic Team: Actively participate in a team dedicated to developing new tires for vehicle manufacturers (Original Equipment) and the replacement market.
* Innovate and Implement: Apply, validate, and implement new prediction technologies and methods in the design process to drive innovation.
Your Responsibilities
As an integral part of our tire development team, you will:
* Support Tire Development: Apply finite element simulations, perform statistical modeling, and analyze FEA results to drive tire design.
* Reduce Costs: Replace physical prototyping and testing with FEA, significantly reducing tire development costs for the company.
* Grow Professionally: Work in a vibrant, multicultural team environment that fosters professional growth and skill expansion in FEA, programming, statistical modeling, and mechanical engineering.
Join us and be part of a team that is driving innovation and excellence in tire development. This is your chance to grow professionally in a supportive and dynamic environment, while making a tangible impact on the future of tire technology. Apply now and take the next step in your engineering career
