Noise and Vibration Performance Engineer

The Role

Atthe General MotorsN&V Center weare responsible forintegrating vehicle-level performance to meet customer expectations for Noise & Vibration (N&V) performance. This includes the up-front development of vehicle-level and subsystem requirements for components used in both internal combustion engine and battery electric vehicle applications. Developing these requirements is critical to how our customers perceive our vehicles from both a quality and overall performance perspective.

The ideal N&V Center Performance Integration Engineer is a fully qualified experienced professional who is comfortable owning complex cross-functional N&V integration challenges across multiple programs. This person will bring deepexpertisein their area broad understanding of adjacent domains and exercise independent judgment on significant technical and product program matters. They will have an interest in a wide variety of work content and in leading cross-functional collaboration with multiplecomponentowners and the broader performance integration team.

This role provides a mix of lab development work supplier and release support validation support and interactions with quality and manufacturing organizations. The candidate is expected to shape solutions influence decisions beyond their immediate team and drive continuous improvement in N&V methods and requirements.

What Youll Do

• Serve as the primary N&V Center Performance Integration Engineer for assigned components subsystems or attributes exercising independent judgment on complex N&V trade-offs acrossvehicle applications.

• Provide direct support to the N&V Architecture Lead Engineers for future vehicle programs proactivelyidentifyingrisks and opportunities and proposing data-driven solutionsand use advanced analytical and problem-solving techniques to resolve a wide range of non-standard problems with minimal guidance

• Independently create and manage project plans fortesting and execution toestablishN&V requirements for anycomponenton the vehicle (electrical modules HVAC interior components etc.) covering structural noise and vibration airborne noise squeak & rattle and regulatory items.

• Own the creation documentation and cascading of N&Vcomponentand subsystem requirements that support vehicle-level targets.

• Communicate results recommendations and trade-offs to key stakeholders acrossmultiple organizations and levels of the company.

• Support and whereappropriate lead product design development and validation for N&V functions throughthedevelopmentand application of math-based tools and models.

• Use all N&V data acquisition tools (e.g. LMS and HEAD systems) to independently plan and conduct complex testing interpret results and recommend countermeasures.

• Drive continuous improvement by documenting lessons learned leading or actively contributing to peer review and program reviewmeetings andchampioning best practices across programs.

• Partner withother development engineers on lab testing and analysis to efficiently root cause vehicle-level issues and translate findings into robust design or process changes.

• Provide advanced technical support to vehicle program teamsreleaseengineering organizations validation quality and manufacturing often acting as the go-to resource for complex N&V questions.

• Participate in and sometimes lead design/peer reviews ensuring N&V requirements and learnings are fully considered.

• Share lessons learned broadly with peers and leaders and recommend changes to standards methods or architectures based on completed work.

• Develop into and serve as a mentor and resource for less experienced engineers providing coaching and guidance on difficult issues and helping build the teams overall capability.
