NVH CAE Supervisor

Job Title

Responsibilities:

• Maintain a team of NVH engineers to perform NVH sub-system analysis for Body/Chassis/Powertrain
• Vehicle NVH CAE Supervisor responsible for NVH CAE analysis of the full vehicle, subsystems and components.
• Work towards meeting vehicle targets within program milestone timelines
• The group is an integral part of the product development group, including daily interaction with product design, testing and functional development engineers
• Build trimmed body, suspension and exhaust FEA models for simulation purpose using Hypermesh or ANSA
• Good knowledge of vehicle structures and NVH sub-system analysis for Body/Chassis/Powertrain
• Perform normal modes, frequency response and transient analyses to identify issues and resolutions.
• Develop design solutions to address NVH issues. Work closely with vehicle development teams, NVH labs, & design teams to identify and resolve issues and optimize the structure for weight/cost.
• Perform transfer path analysis to root cause dominant paths and contributions to NVH performance issues.
• Expert in running NASTRAN (linear) solver to conduct NVH and stress analyses. NVH Assessments including but not limited to; normal modes, attachment point equivalent stiffness, point mobility, etc
• Use multi-disciplinary optimization tools such as Hyperstudy/ Isight for combining analyses from various codes
• Familiar with Opti Struct to conduct non-parametric design optimization, such as topology, shape, and gauge optimization
• Review analyses results from the team before sign-off and approval and communicate findings and recommendations to various engineering organizations.
• Able to follow and guide NVH testing based on simulations and set targets based on competitive set if data not available for surrogate vehicles.
• Stay abreast of latest CAE/simulation tools, methods and processes in the field of NVH analyses.
