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 the virtual performance integration of the vehicle components and subsystems as they relate to noise and vibration characteristics. This role utilizes advanced simulation tools and full vehicle modeling to 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 deliver customer-focused performance while balancing trade-offs across multiple domains.

What You’ll 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)

+ 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
