- BodyPowertrain coupling Structurefluid coupling
- Build and evaluate FE models ensuring:
- Highquality meshing
- Correct material properties
- Accurate connections (rigids bushings welds etc.)
- Generate acoustic cavity models with correct measurement point positioning.
- Evaluate and integrate subsystem models from simple to highly complex assemblies.
NVH Analysis Execution:
- Modal Analysis & Modal Alignment
- Frequency Response Functions & Direct Response Analysis
- Dynamic Stiffness & Road Noise
- Vibration Transfer Function & Noise Transfer Function
- Powertrain Noise (WOT & IDLE)
- Road-Load Conditions & Interior Acoustic Response
PostProcessing & Interpretation
- Identify BIW/TBIW global modes
- Interpret FRFs transfer functions and dynamic responses
- Evaluate Sound Pressure Levels (Pa dB dB(A))
- Conduct Transfer Path Analysis (TPA) to identify dominant noise contributors
Project Execution & Client Interaction
- Independently lead NVH simulation projects and deliver highquality results
- Prepare detailed technical reports and present findings to clients
- Provide structural design countermeasures to achieve NVH performance targets
- Communicate with clients on daily simulation activities deliverables and decisionmaking support
- Mentor junior team members and contribute to competency development
- Ensure adherence to customer expectations regarding quality timelines and technical guidelines
Required Qualifications
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Automotive Aerospace Engineering or related field
- Minimum 2-5 years of vehicle-level NVH analysis experience.
- Strong understanding of Structural Mechanics Finite Element Methods material modelling connections/contacts and linear/nonlinear behaviour
- Handson experience with:
- Pre-processing: ANSA (preferred) / HyperMesh
