Candidates will need a broad engineering awareness, ideally experienced in powertrain noise and vibration
Bachelor’s degree in engineering
5+ years of relevant experience
Experienced in the NVH characterization and fault detection in rotating machinery using microphones, accelerometers, torque transducers, acoustic cameras, particle velocity probes, etc
Ability to influence design based on engineering principles
Experience using order analysis, torsional vibration analysis, sound intensity mapping, experimental modal analysis, and transfer path analysis for structure-borne noise in vehicles
Strong fundamental understanding of digital signal processing, psychoacoustics, and the use of sound quality metrics to record, track and report NVH performance in an appropriate manner
Understanding of how gear design and the physical properties of gears can influence NVH performance
Understanding of electromagnetic interactions in electric motors relate to NVH performance
Experience of Siemens LMS Test
Familiarity with CANape or similar calibration or controls software
Previous experience taking a vehicle or powertrain from concept to production
Responsibilities
Working within a skilled and versatile team, you will support NVH target setting and work to ensure attribute performance meets targets at a vehicle and powertrain level
Root cause and develop methods to control the sources of structural and/or airborne noises from rotating components such as electric motors, transmissions, pumps, fans, compressors
Perform component and system level attribute testing on powertrain dynamometers and test fixtures, and correlate system and component behavior to powertrain and vehicle performance
Develop innovative technical concepts to achieve NVH targets while meeting those of cost, packaging and mass
