During the Brake NVH development process, work closely with the Design Engineer, Applications Engineer, CAE Engineer, and Program Manager, collaborating and sharing NVH related findings, and participating in the analysis and study of status and issues associated with other brake product performance characteristics (Brake drag, DTV, BTV, hysteresis, caliper/friction interface). Lead the conduction of trade-off analysis with the multifunctional team, investigate, analyze, and propose and implement NVH countermeasures.

(Product emphasis is conventional brake calipers, motor on caliper brake products, electro-mechanical brake calipers, and other foundation brake components.)

The responsibilities include (but are not limited to:)

• Customer requirement analysis and gap analysis for the NVH function, as part of a multifunctional team where trade-offs for all performance requirements are considered.
• Utilization of NVH measurement equipment and analysis tools (laboratory and virtual) to assess and evaluate NVH performance, and propose improvements against requirements.
• Perform conventional and non-conventional component, sub-system and system level analysis such as FRF, modal analysis, ODS analysis, and transient response to understand dynamic characteristics.
• Carry out investigations and causal explanation analysis using noise dynamo meters and vibration testing equipment, shakers, chassis dynamo meters, vehicle, and other laboratory methods to identify and understand sources of NVH and propose countermeasures.
• During the Brake NVH development process, work closely with the Design Engineer, Applications Engineer, CAE Engineer, and Program Manager, collaborating and sharing NVH related findings, and participating in the analysis and study of status and issues associated with other brake product performance characteristics (Brake drag, DTV, BTV, hysteresis, caliper/friction interface.) Lead the conduction of trade-off analysis with the multifunctional team, investigate, analyze, and propose and implement NVH countermeasures.
• Work with Design and Applications Engineer on core projects, including investigating and developing new techniques and methodologies, as well as investigating alternative NVH solutions.
• Collaborate and coordinate associated NVH lab maintenance, calibration, and documentation for equipment and instrumentation, project, procedure and database. Keep track of NVH development for the program, and work with the Applications Engineer and the Design Engineer in order to consolidate the NVH test and analysis plan into one DVP&R.
• Support NVH related meetings and reviews with customers, as well as internal customers and suppliers. Process data analysis and write reports.
• During program development, lead efforts to document work instructions and capture lessons learned.

• Minimum of bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or related field. Master's degree is a plus.
• Preference of approximately 2 – 20+ years of automotive experience working in product development with a preferred focus on braking and suspension systems.
• Strong basis in fundamental NVH knowledge. Friction material development experience is a plus
• This role is open to talent across all experience levels. If you meet some or most of the qualifications and are excited about the opportunity, we encourage you to apply!
• Familiarity and ability to utilize NVH measurement equipment such as, Head Acoustics with ArtemiS Software, Link Vehicle DAQ, NVH dynamometer Prolink Software and…
