Forming Simulation Engineer

The Stamping Forming Engineer's responsibilities include performing virtual stamping tryout on draw and secondary dies for new vehicle model programs, and support current volume production model requirements.  The Forming Engineer is responsible to achieving quality targets in formability, aesthetics, and dimensional; deliver die developments, simulation results, NC models per program timing, supporting hard tool, and home line tryout using virtual tryout results. He/she will review the simulations submitted and provide feedback.  They will document the status of the parts as they progress through the vehicle launch process; clay review, feasibility, through program launch, and maintain project documents in the SPE Operations database.  Support the stamping plant and all related activities.
