Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Excellent understanding of acoustics and vibration principles, digital signal processing, sound quality metrics
  • Experience with Modal Analysis, Transfer Path Analysis (TPA), Panel Contribution Analysis and general data acquisition
  • Experienced in NVH test equipment including impact hammers, shakers, PU probes, acoustic cameras, impedance tube, string pot, accelerometers and microphones
  • Excellent knowledge of Siemens Simcenter Testlab software for data acquisition and post-processing
  • Proficient with MATLAB or Python, CAD, SEA (Actran SEA or equivalent), Alphacell (or material analysis tool), and Alpha cabin
  • Strong communication skills, self-motivation, independent worker, excellent team player
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver independent root cause analysis on difficult projects with tight timing constraints

Responsibilities

  • Be responsible for designing prototype parts and evaluate their NVH impact
  • Optimize the existing sound package to meet the design target (cost, mass, and performance)
  • Come up with a creative idea for next generation lightweight sound package
  • Conduct and analyze NVH testing of vehicle components to provide design guidance during the design and development process to achieve world-class vehicle attribute targets
  • Diagnose and troubleshoot vehicle NVH issues through testing and analysis (TPA, panel contribution, FRF, ODS, etc.)
  • Assess and analyze vehicle NVH performance to optimize and enhance NVH attributes
  • Engage in collaborative efforts with the design and manufacturing to upload the quality of NVH attributes
  • Perform component and full vehicle level testing to support NVH performance validation, attribute targets setting and CAE correlation
  • Develop and refine NVH test methods, procedures and processing techniques
