About The Position

We are seeking a Staff NVH Integration Engineer to lead the technical development and integration of NVH attributes within our vehicle platforms. This role requires an individual who defines technical paths forward when faced with complex engineering constraints and ambiguous system requirements. You will be responsible for representing NVH in design forums and ensuring a clear linkage between vehicle-level targets and sub-system performance during high-pressure delivery cycles. This position requires a technical lead who manages their own workstreams, navigates system interactions and dependencies, and delivers results under strict production timelines.

Requirements

Minimum of 6+ years of experience in NVH attribute development and vehicle integration in the automotive industry
Strong understanding of subjective NVH evaluation and objective metrics, with an ability to clearly present and advocate for NVH decisions in large design forums.
Proven ability to work seamlessly across diverse engineering functions, coupled with highly organized and meticulous documentation skills to manage complex project deliverables.
Proficiency with NVH instrumentation and data analysis software such as LMS, HEAD Acoustics & CAE tools such as NASTRAN, Optistruct, VA One
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Acoustics, or a related technical field.

Responsibilities

Establish and manage NVH attribute targets, systematically cascading vehicle-level performance requirements down to the system and component levels.
Coordinate NVH workstreams from program kickoff to serial production, taking into account cross-functional impacts to desired NVH performance.
Establish metrics, and maintain a NVH Scorecard, to continuously track project health.
Create NVH packaging guidelines for interior acoustics, exterior acoustics, damping, baffles, and sealing strategies and ensure NVH requirements are successfully integrated into next-generation vehicles.
