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.
