Technical Specialist, NVH

The role

This role focuses on advanced SEA modeling, simulation, acoustic testing and sound pack development. You will support the refinement of cabin and interior acoustic performance across next-generation electric vehicles.

What you will do

• Deliver the full-vehicle acoustic package for NVH performance.
• Lead the development and execution of SEA models for full vehicle and subsystem acoustic simulations.
• Develop and validate acoustic treatment solutions through simulation and testing.
• Interpret SEA simulation results to guide design decisions.
• Work with vehicle integration, body, powertrain, and thermal teams.
• Support target setting and cascade process for vehicle-level sound package performance.
• Correlate SEA models with physical test data.
• Perform testing and assessments to improve airborne noise performance in prototypes and production vehicles.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics, Physics, or related field.
• 8+ years of relevant experience for an NVH Technical Specialist.
• Experience in acoustic package development and optimization (sound transmission loss & sound absorption coefficient).
• Proficiency in Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) for high frequency airborne noise simulation with ESI VA One and/or MSC Actran.
• Strong fundamental understanding of digital signal processing, psychoacoustics, and the use of sound quality metrics to record, track and report NVH performance.

Nice to have

• Master’s or PhD preferred.
• Previous experience taking a vehicle from concept to production.
• Experience in NVH characterization and fault detection using microphones, accelerometers, acoustic cameras, particle velocity probes, etc.
• Experience of Siemens TestLab and/or Artemis Suite.
• Past experience with wind noise and/or HVAC noise development.
