Job description

Responsible for testing, analyzing, processing, and reporting standard vehicle-level NVH benchmark test data to support competitive assessments, program tracking, and objective decision-making. The role focuses on repeatable testing, data processing, standardized metrics, and consistent reporting, rather than experimental test development.

Key Responsibilities

• NVH Vehicle Benchmark Testing
  • Coordinate and conduct standard NVH vehicle-level benchmark testing
  • Work with Union Mechanics / Technicians
  • Support process improvement actions in the organization to improve operational and economic efficiencies
• NVH Benchmark Data Processing
  • Access, organize, and process standard NVH vehicle-level benchmark test data from approved test events and internal databases.
  • Apply established digital signal processing methods (filtering, windowing, integration, time/frequency transforms) using standard NVH workflows.
  • Ensure consistency of channel naming, units, test conditions, and signal post-processing across benchmark datasets.
  • Maintain traceability between raw data, processed data, and reported results.
• Data Analysis & Interpretation
  • Execute standardized NVH metrics and KPIs for vehicle-level benchmarking (e.g., overall levels, order content, bandlimited metrics, event-based metrics).
  • Perform direct vehicle-to-vehicle and configuration-to-configuration comparisons using consistent analysis methods.
• Reporting & Deliverables
  • Generate standard NVH benchmark reports following approved templates and formats.
  • Populate tables, plots, and summaries that clearly highlight competitive performance and relative rankings.
  • Ensure reports are technically accurate, repeatable, and suitable for engineering and management review.
  • Support continuous refinement of standard benchmark report formats and metrics.
• Tool Utilization & Data Management
  • Analyze and post-process data using industry-standard NVH software (Siemens Simcenter Testlab).
  • Use scripting, batch processing, or automated workflows where applicable to improve efficiency and consistency.
  • Archive processed data and reports in standard NVH data management systems following established conventions.
  • Document analysis assumptions, processing settings, and limitations for future reuse.
• Quality & Process Compliance
  • Apply quality checks to confirm data completeness, processing correctness, and metric validity.
  • Verify that benchmark analyses comply with internal NVH standards and test protocols.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Automotive) or a related technical field.
• Experience analyzing standard or production NVH test data at the vehicle level.
• Working knowledge of digital signal processing fundamentals relevant to NVH.
• Experience using NVH analysis software such as Siemens Simcenter Testlab or Head Acoustics ArtemiS.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to data consistency and repeatability.
• Ability to clearly communicate technical findings through written reports and plots.
• Ability to work independently while supporting cross-functional engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with NVH vehicle benchmarking or competitive assessments.
• Intermediate proficiency in NVH data analysis using Siemens Simcenter Testlab software.
• Experience executing standardized metrics and scorecards rather than ad-hoc analysis.
• Experience automating analysis or reporting tasks using scripting or macros.
• Understanding of automotive NVH targets, internal standards, and common vehicle-level test methods.
