Role: NVH Propulsion Engineer

Work location:

Auburn Hills, Michigan

Background and Meet and Greet: MANDATORY

The NVH Propulsion Performance Engineer will lead NVH activities on propulsion systems and ensure NVH assessments are conducted at each program gate, engaging release teams to implement NVH enablers into the final design. Responsibilities include supporting integration of the propulsion system into the vehicle, achieving NVH vehicle targets, preparing presentations for management reviews, managing value‑optimization activities while maintaining intended NVH character, acting as liaison between Propulsion System and Vehicle organizations, and overseeing process improvement actions to enhance operational and economic efficiencies.
