Senior Noise & Vibration CAE Engineer

Job Description

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford MI or Warren MI three times per week at minimum.

Role Summary

The VDDV Engineer for Noise and Vibration (N&V) leads thevirtual performance integration of the vehiclecomponents and subsystems as they relate to noise and vibration characteristics. This role utilizesadvanced simulation tools and full vehicle modelingto evaluate and influence design decisions ensuring N&V performance is effectively integrated across disciplines. By aligning technical solutions with vehicle-level objectives the engineer helps delivercustomer-focused performancewhile balancing trade-offs across multiple domains.

What Youll Do (Responsibilities)

• Lead the design and development of systems impacting N&V through simulation-based evaluation ensuring alignment with vehicle-level performance targets

• Perform advanced analytical simulations at the full vehicle subsystem and component levels using tools such as FEA (structural) MBD (dynamics) SEA (acoustics) and mid-frequency methods

• Build debug and execute simulation models to predict N&V performance and generate actionable design recommendations

• Develop technical solutions that meet N&V targets while optimizing for mass cost and packaging constraints

• Lead and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure holistic performance integration

• Develop technical solutions using Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and other methodologies enabling optimal and robust designs

• Lead the development of new CAE techniques simulation tools and procedures including solver parameters and material characterization

• Stay current with emerging CAE tools technologies and competitive product trends through training and technical workshops

• Lead Closed-Loop Learning (CLL) initiatives and actively participate in forums supporting virtualization and enterprise-wide performance integration

• Engage in Global CAE Product & Technical Focus Groups and other collaborative engineering communities

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelors degree in Engineering Math Physics Science or closely related field of study

• 5 years of relevant industry experience

• Understanding of Noise & Vibration theory as it applies to vehicle performance

• Good presentation written and oral communication skills

• Exhibits appropriate interpersonal styles and communication methods to work effectively with business partners to meet mutual goals

• High degree of analytical ability (root cause failure analysis) where problems are complex or difficult

• Demonstrated ability to deal with ambiguity

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering Math or Science or closely related field of study

• 7 years of post-graduate N&V experience preferably using FEA MBD or SEA methods for analysis

• Familiarity with a variety of CAE tools (such as Ansa HyperMesh OPTISTRUCT Simpack Adams Wave6 Actran etc.)

• Programming and/or scripting experience (Python VBA etc.)

• Education or experience in the following:

  • Design development and optimization of vehicle structures

  • Static dynamic thermal and fatigue analyses for chassis frames body interior and powertrain structures

  • Hardware based N&V Vehicle Development or N&V laboratory testing or data acquisition

  • Good understanding of establishing loads and boundary conditions for FEA or MBD modeling and analysis

• Familiarity or experience in SaFE Agile practices

• Experience working globally with regional partners
