Technical Specialist, NVH

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.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics, Physics, or related field. Master's or PhD preferred.
• Generally, requires 8+ years of relevant experience for an NVH Technical Specialist and 5+ years of relevant experience 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.

Preferred

• Previous experience taking a vehicle from concept to production.
• Experience in NVH characterization and fault detection using microphones, accelerometers, acoustic cameras, particle velocity probes, etc..
• Experience of Siemens TestLab and/or Artemis Suite.
• Past experience with wind noise and/or HVAC noise development.
