At Polaris Inc., we have fun doing what we love by driving change and innovation. We empower employees to take on challenging assignments and roles with an elevated level of responsibility in our agile working environment. Our people make us who we are, and we create incredible products and experiences that empower us to THINK OUTSIDE.

The Simulation Center of Competence (CoC) at Polaris Bengaluru plays a critical role in driving virtual product development, ensuring that Polaris vehicles meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, safety, and refinement.

As part of the Durability Team, you will be responsible for simulating real-world usage scenarios to evaluate and enhance the long-term durability of vehicle structures. This role focuses on identifying and mitigating structural risks early in the development cycle, reducing dependence on physical prototypes.

As a Senior Durability Engineer, you will lead end-to-end durability simulations, including virtual model building which should correlate with physical model. RLDA (Road Load Data Analysis), fatigue life prediction, and CAE-test correlation. You will utilize advanced simulation tools to deliver high-fidelity models & results.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

Strong experience in FE modeling at component, subsystem, and full-vehicle levels

Support full vehicle durability integration for both on-road and off-road (terrain) vehicles

Expertise in FE model integration and contact setup at the full-vehicle level

Perform simulations in ANSYS, including static, modal, transient, and nonlinear analyses

Correlate of CAE results with physical test data

Process RLDA data and convert it into simulation-ready formats for fatigue evaluation

Develop advanced workflows in nCode, GlyphWorks and perform fatigue analysis

Develop and implement automation workflows using Python or similar scripting tools

Explore and apply AI/ML techniques to enhance simulation capabilities

Manage project deliverables while ensuring effective communication with internal and external stakeholders

SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES REQUIRED:

B.E/B. Tech preferably in Mechanical, Automotive, or Aerospace Engineering is required.

Minimum 6-10 years of experience required in the relevant field.

Strong knowledge of durability FE modeling and life calculations

Experience with implicit & explicit solvers and optimization solvers in CAE

Experience with scripting languages such as Python and TCL/TK

Experience in durability simulations for metals, plastics, and composite materials

Exposure to AI/ML applications in CAE simulations

Key Attributes

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Ability to work in a global engineering environment across different time zones

Capability to handle complex full-vehicle simulations

Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Results-oriented mindset with strong attention to detail
