NVHI Performance Engineer

This position is responsible for leading NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) activities on propulsion systems (conventional and/or electrified) across assigned vehicle programs. The role ensures NVH assessments are conducted at key program milestones, collaborates with engineering release teams, and integrates the propulsion system into the vehicle to meet overall NVH performance targets.

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead NVH activities on propulsion systems (conventional and/or electrified) for all responsible programs.
• Ensure NVH assessments are conducted at each program gate and engage release teams to ensure NVH enablers are implemented into the final design.
• Support relevant NVH activities to integrate the propulsion system into the vehicle and achieve overall vehicle NVH targets.
• Prepare and present clear, concise presentations for management reviews.
• Manage value optimization (VO) activities for propulsion systems while maintaining intended NVH character at the product and vehicle level.
• Act as the liaison between the Propulsion System organization and the Vehicle organization regarding NVH attributes at a system level.
• Oversee process improvement actions within the organization to enhance operational and economic efficiencies.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline from an ABET-accredited university.
• 5+ years of NVH engineering experience.
• Fundamental understanding of propulsion and vehicle system NVH.
• Hands-on automotive experience in propulsion systems NVH, including conventional and hybrid ICE, electric motors, gearboxes, and power inverter modules.
• Strong planning and organizational skills.
• Demonstrated proficiency using NVH measurement and analysis tools (e.g., Siemens Simcenter Testlab / LMS, HEAD Acoustics ArtemiS, Rotec, Müller-BBM, MATLAB, Simulink).
• Experience with sound pressure measurement for propulsion systems (SAE J1074), sound intensity and sound power measurements (ISO 3744 & ISO 3745), vehicle interior noise measurements (SAE J336), and sound quality measurements/analysis.
• Expertise in NVH root-cause analysis using Transfer Path Analysis (TPA), Modal Analysis, and Angle Domain Analysis.
• Proven track record of solving technical problems and resolving issues in propulsion system NVH.
• Working knowledge of Digital Signal Processing (DSP / FFT) and experience working with electronic control modules (ECMs) and CAN communication protocol's

Preferred Qualifications

• Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline from an ABET-accredited university.
• Prior experience leading product development at an automotive OEM.
• Demonstrated ability to be highly adaptable and drive impactful, long-lead engineering changes.
• Strong interest in automotive systems with hands-on experience troubleshooting or modifying vehicles and propulsion components.
• Practical experience with vehicle assembly, instrumentation, component installation, and hardware troubleshooting.
• Experience designing, fabricating, or modifying prototype parts to evaluate NVH improvements.
