About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field is required.
  • A minimum of 2–5 years of vehicle-level noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) analysis experience is required.
  • Strong understanding of structural mechanics, finite element methods, material modelling, connections and contacts, and linear and nonlinear behaviour is required.
  • Hands-on experience with pre-processing tools ANSA or HyperMesh is required; ANSA is preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with post-processing tools META or HyperView is required; META is preferred.
  • Ability to interpret simulation results including stress-strain, deformation, energy, acceleration, and acoustic metrics is required.
  • Advanced or fluent English communication skills are required.
  • Experience in statistical energy analysis and mid- and high-frequency analysis is preferred.
  • Experience with AVL or GT-Suite is preferred.
  • CAE-to-physical-test correlation experience is preferred.
  • Programming or scripting skills in Python or TCL are preferred.
  • Familiarity with HPC environments, including clusters and cloud-based simulation platforms, is preferred.
  • Experience with other solvers such as Abaqus, LS-DYNA, or PAM-CRASH is preferred.

Responsibilities

  • Handle full-vehicle and subsystem NVH load cases using Nastran (SOL101, SOL103, SOL108, SOL111, and SOL200) and OptiStruct.
  • Perform model assembly and integration for BIW, Trim BIW, full vehicle, body–powertrain coupling, and structure–fluid coupling.
  • Build and evaluate finite-element models, ensuring high-quality meshing, correct material properties, and accurate connections such as rigids, bushings, and welds.
  • Generate acoustic cavity models with correct measurement-point positioning.
  • Evaluate and integrate subsystem models ranging from simple to highly complex assemblies.
  • Perform modal analysis and modal alignment, frequency response functions and direct response analysis, dynamic stiffness and road noise analysis, vibration and noise transfer-function analysis, powertrain noise analysis for WOT and idle, road-load analysis, and interior acoustic response analysis.
  • Identify BIW and TBIW global modes; interpret frequency response functions, transfer functions, and dynamic responses; evaluate sound pressure levels; and conduct transfer path analysis to identify dominant noise contributors.
  • Independently lead NVH simulation projects and deliver high-quality results.
  • Prepare detailed technical reports and present findings to clients.
  • Provide structural design countermeasures to achieve NVH performance targets.
  • Communicate with clients about daily simulation activities, deliverables, and decision-making support.
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to competency development.
  • Ensure adherence to customer expectations for quality, timelines, and technical guidelines.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in statistical energy analysis and mid- and high-frequency analysis.
  • Experience with AVL or GT-Suite.
  • CAE-to-physical-test correlation experience.
  • Programming or scripting skills in Python or TCL.
  • Familiarity with HPC environments, including clusters and cloud-based simulation platforms.
  • Experience with other solvers such as Abaqus, LS-DYNA, or PAM-CRASH.
