Engineer - NVH

Responsibilities & Key Deliverables

As a Engineer in NVH Simulation within our Product Development division, you will play a pivotal role in advancing the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) characteristics of our vehicles. Your primary responsibility is to develop comprehensive Full Vehicle Level structural finite element (FE) models. These models will be instrumental in simulating vehicle dynamics and delivering optimisation solutions that meet stringent NVH performance criteria.

You will be tasked with gathering diverse structural system inputs and constructing detailed FE models for various system level design validation plans (DVPs). These include analysing global and local normal modes, evaluating driving point dynamic stiffness, and performing Vehicle Transfer Function (VTF) and Noise Transfer Function (NTF) analyses.

In addition, you will create and maintain meshing guidelines for full vehicle and sub-assembly models, ensuring adherence to industry best practices to enhance accuracy and efficiency. Collaboration with the design team is key, as you will coordinate for proposal development and ensure the successful implementation of NVH solutions throughout the product lifecycle.

This position demands a technical expert who is proactive in problem-solving and can communicate complex simulation results clearly to multidisciplinary teams, ensuring alignment with project goals and quality standards.

Experience

The ideal candidate will possess 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience in structural FE modelling and NVH analysis within the automotive industry or closely related engineering sectors. Proven expertise in building and validating vehicle-level FE models, coupled with practical experience in simulation tools and techniques related to normal mode analysis, dynamic stiffness, VTF, and NTF, is essential.

Experience in meshing processes, guideline development, and cross-functional collaboration with design and product teams will be highly valued. Familiarity with automotive DVP processes and robust analytical skills are expected to support product optimisation and innovation in NVH performance.

Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a fast-paced industrial environment, manage multiple priorities, and contribute to high-quality deliverables aligned with project timelines will be advantageous.

Industry Preferred

Preference will be given to candidates who have gained experience in the automotive sector, specifically within vehicle dynamics, NVH simulation, or product development divisions of automotive manufacturing companies. However, relevant expertise from adjacent industries such as aerospace, heavy machinery, or industrial equipment, where structural FE modelling and noise/vibration analysis are practiced, will also be considered.

An understanding of automotive manufacturing processes, vehicle architecture, and NVH quality targets within a production environment will add significant value to the role.

Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (BE/B.Tech) with a specialization in Mechanical, Automotive, or a related field.
- Strong foundation in structural mechanics, finite element analysis, and vehicle dynamics.
- Proficiency in simulation software relevant to NVH and FE modelling is preferred.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, demonstrating ability to interpret complex simulation data into actionable engineering insights.
- Effective communication skills to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and convey technical information clearly.

General Requirements

This role requires a self-motivated professional with an aptitude for analytical thinking and a passion for automotive engineering excellence. You should be able to work independently, demonstrate attention to detail, and maintain high-quality standards while managing project priorities.

Strong interpersonal skills are necessary for effective coordination with design, testing, and validation teams. A commitment to continuous learning and adapting to evolving simulation methodologies and industry trends is important to succeed in this position.

Travel is not required for this position, allowing focus on core responsibilities within the engineering and product development environment.
