Job Description:

Responsibilities & Key Deliverables

Your primary responsibilities as a Senior Engineer-NVH will include conducting thorough NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) testing and analysis specifically focused on vehicle levels. You will be required to perform complete root cause analyses to address any electric noise issues linked to the motor and transmission systems.

This role demands benchmarking of various vehicles, followed by setting performance targets both at the vehicle level and for individual components.

You will spearhead the demonstration of practical solutions while collaborating closely with the design teams to ensure successful implementation.

You will enhance existing processes and improve the overall quality of analysis related to NVH.

A key aspect of your role will involve providing NVH specifications to the design teams during initial phases (known as front-loading) to preemptively mitigate NVH concerns.

You will also conduct pass-by noise tests to confirm that all target levels for both internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles are met.

Moreover, it is essential to possess a comprehensive understanding of various vehicle systems, such as electric motors, regeneration systems, transmissions, and HVAC, particularly concerning electric vehicles. You will be conducting transfer path analyses and implementing measure for structural and airborne source contributions effectively.

Your expertise in digital signal processing and executing pass-by noise tests will be imperative in delivering outstanding results.

Experience

To be considered for this position, you should possess 4 to 6 years of experience with testing software, particularly with LMS-Test Lab. Your background should demonstrate a minimum of four years of hands-on experience in testing and analysis, as well as the execution skills necessary to guide the team towards achieving successful Vehicle NVH deliveries.

Proven capabilities in a testing environment, combined with your understanding of automotive engineering principles, will enable you to contribute effectively to our projects. Your experience should showcase your ability to handle complex technical challenges proactively, fostering a collaborative environment within cross-functional teams.

Industry Preferred

We prefer candidates from the automotive industry, particularly those with experience in NVH roles. Candidates having backgrounds from leading automotive manufacturers are highly valued due to their familiarity with industry standards and practices.

Your experience should include exposure to electric vehicle systems and their specific challenges in noise and vibration management, ensuring that you can bring best practices into our team. Understanding market trends and innovations in the automotive sector may also enhance your suitability for this position.

Qualifications

A Graduate or Post Graduate degree in Automotive or Mechanical Engineering is required for this role. Your educational background should equip you with the foundational knowledge necessary to grasp advanced concepts in vehicle dynamics and NVH analysis.

Holding additional certifications or courses related to NVH testing, automotive system dynamics, or noise control engineering will be considered beneficial. Continuous improvement in knowledge through workshops or seminars relevant to automotive engineering trends is also encouraged.

General Requirements

General requirements for the role include:

• Excellent communication skills to articulate complex technical information to diverse audiences.
• A collaborative mindset, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
• Proactive problem-solving skills combined with the ability to think critically under pressure.
• A commitment to continual learning and professional development in the ever-evolving field of automotive engineering.
