NVH Engineer

Area of Responsibility:

• Perform baseline NVH CAE analysis for BIW and body structures and present concise technical insights to stakeholders.
• Develop and optimize body structures to meet NVH targets such as:
• Global static & dynamic stiffness
• Local dynamic stiffness
• Frequency response (VTF, NTF)
• Support design teams in delivering NVH-compliant solutions within program timelines.
• Drive test support activities and ensure effective test-to-CAE correlation.
• Consider real-world constraints (packaging, manufacturing, cost) during solution development.
• Participate in model build, debugging, and validation of simulation setups.
• Work collaboratively in cross-functional teams in a fast-paced development environment.
