About this role
Project Engineer
Mission
We are seeking a driven Project Engineer to support vehicle, system, and component-level Noise, Vibration, Harshness, and Sound Quality performance across upcoming vehicle programs. In this role, you will play an active part in development, validation, and integration through hands-on testing, data analysis, and cross-functional problem-solving. From early concept development through final production, you will collaborate with engineering teams to ensure our vehicles deliver an exceptional acoustic and tactile user experience.
Key Responsibilities
-
Testing & Data Acquisition: Conduct hands-on NVHI testing, subjective evaluations, test setup, and data collection across various operating conditions (powertrain, road, wind, accessory, and interior noise).
-
Analysis & Reporting: Interpret vehicle requirements and industry standards; process complex NVH data to deliver clear technical summaries, root-cause analyses, and actionable recommendations.
-
Program Delivery: Support program tracking against performance targets using issue-tracking tools, recovery plans, and scorecards.
-
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Design, CAE, Manufacturing, and Supplier teams to resolve NVHI issues, perform benchmarking, and set target specifications.
-
Technical Communication: Prepare and present performance summaries for management and program reviews; work side-by-side with technicians and mechanics during vehicle testing.
-
Continuous Improvement: Support initiatives aimed at improving efficiency, test quality, and cost-effectiveness across the NVHI department.
-
Profile
Basic Requirements:
- Education: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline from an ABET-accredited university.
- Experience: Hands-on industry engineering experience (vehicle NVH testing or development preferred).
- Core Competencies: Strong understanding of overall vehicle architecture and systems; proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams); strong planning and communication skills.
Preferred Experience & Skills:
- Master of Science degree in Engineering.
- Experience using NVH measurement and processing tools (e.g., Siemens Simcenter Testlab, HEAD Acoustics ArtemiS, MATLAB/Simulink).
- Familiarity with root-cause analysis techniques such as Transfer Path Analysis (TPA), Modal Analysis, or Angle Domain Analysis.
- Exposure to active/electronically controlled NVH systems (e.g., Active Noise Cancellation / ANC).
