N&V CAE Engineer: Full-Vehicle Vibration Modeling

General Motors; Warren (MI); On-site; USD 110,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

General Motors in Warren, MI is seeking an experienced CAE Engineer for Noise & Vibration (N&V). You will lead virtual performance integration using advanced simulation tools to influence design decisions and deliver vehicle-level objectives.

Focus on structural vibration using FEA, predicting N&V performance, and developing robust solutions while balancing mass, cost, and packaging. You will collaborate across teams and contribute to DFSS-based improvements.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Math or Science or closely related field of study.
• 5+ years of relevant industry experience
• Understanding of Noise & Vibration theory as it applies to vehicle performance.
• Good presentation, written and oral communication skills
• Exhibits appropriate interpersonal styles and communication methods to work effectively with business partners to meet mutual goals.
• High degree of analytical ability (root cause failure analysis) where problems are complex or difficult
• Demonstrated ability to deal with ambiguity

Responsibilities

• Guide the design and development of systems impacting N&V through simulation-based evaluation, ensuring alignment with vehicle-level performance targets.
• Perform advanced analytical simulations at the full vehicle, subsystem, and component levels using primarily finite element tools (FEA) for structural vibration and structure-borne noise including mid-frequency.
• Build, debug, and execute simulation models to predict N&V performance and generate actionable design recommendations.
• Develop technical solutions that meet N&V targets while optimizing for mass, cost, and packaging constraints.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure holistic performance integration.
• Conduct design optimization and variation analysis using Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and other methodologies.
