Technical Development - Design Co-Op
Position Overview Using aluminum for automotive body structures is a new technology that is growing as automakers lightweight cars to make traditional gas vehicles more efficient and strive for longer ranges and good towing capacity of electric vehicles. The Novelis CSC uses state-of-the art design tools to directly work with car companies to design and engineer parts in existing and new aluminum alloys to demonstrate the most efficient ways to use these parts. The Co-Op will be assisting and/or completing automotive design studies for the Novelis Customer Solution Center through product design, analysis, benchmarking, and testing. Depending on interest and proficiency, the Co-Op will delve into design studies of specific components or systems within automotive structures. This may involve any combination of 3D design (with CATIA), analysis with FEA tools, formability analysis, cost calculation, and testing. Typical structures are car door structures, car body structures, battery enclosures for electric vehicles, or other metallic structures common in the auto industry. Different grades will be studied to optimize designs and report solutions. Additionally, there may be specific studies on individual small components or help with gathering benchmarking information on full body structures through benchmarking studies. By completing these design studies, this work will aid in selling of Novelis materials to key automotive OEM customers and will provide valuable marketing information through BOM analysis.
