Senior NVH Engineer — Full-Vehicle Acoustic Expert

Lucid Motors; Newark (CA); On-site; USD 167,000 - 244,000; Full time

Job summary

Lucid Motors is seeking a highly skilled and experienced NVH Engineer to join our NVH team. This role focuses on advanced SEA modeling, simulation, acoustic testing and sound pack development to support the refinement of cabin and interior acoustic performance across our next-generation electric vehicles.

You will need to be focused on delivering excellent performance to our customers, strong self-starters, team collaborators, excellent problem solvers, with an ability to thrive in a fast-paced,

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics, Physics, or related field; Master's or PhD preferred.
• 8+ years of NVH experience for an NVH Technical Specialist and 5+ years for a Senior NVH Engineer.
• Experience in acoustic package development and optimization (sound transmission loss & sound absorption coefficient).
• Proficiency in Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) for high frequency airborne noise simulation with ESI VA One and/or MSC Actran.
• Strong fundamental understanding of digital signal processing, psychoacoustics, and the use of sound quality metrics to record, track and report NVH performance.

Responsibilities

• Deliver the full-vehicle acoustic package for world-class NVH performance while balancing mass, packaging and cost.
• Lead the development and execution of SEA models for full vehicle and subsystem acoustic simulations (e.g., BIW, closures, powertrain, ancillaries).
• Develop and validate acoustic treatment solutions (heavy layer, absorbers) through simulation and testing.
• Interpret SEA simulation results to guide design decisions and optimize vehicle acoustic performance.
• Work closely with vehicle integration, body, powertrain, and thermal teams to embed acoustic considerations into system-level designs.
• Support target setting and cascade process for vehicle-level sound package performance.
• Correlate SEA models with physical test data and contribute to model validation efforts.
• Perform, at a vehicle and component level, testing and assessments to improve airborne noise performance in prototypes and production vehicles.
