Lead Engineer - NVH

Responsibilities & Key Deliverables

As a Lead Engineer - NVH within the Automotive Division at Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, you will be instrumental in achieving set Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) targets while leading and executing multiple projects concurrently. Your key responsibilities include:

• Achieving targeted NVH outcomes such as Incab Noise and Tactile Vibrations through collaboration with the design team, necessitating structural modifications.
• Constructing comprehensive Full Vehicle Finite Element (FE) models adhering to established processes and quality standards.
• Generating reports, presentations, and work plans while effectively communicating progress and updates to stakeholders.
• Leading technology development initiatives by researching and applying the latest NVH techniques.
• Committing to continuous learning and mastering advanced toolsets pertinent to NVH analysis.

Your advanced technical expertise will also involve:

• Building and debugging Full Vehicle FE models while analysing various load cases.
• Conducting system-level global and local stiffness load case assessments.
• Analysing trimmed body level NTF & VTF alongside vehicle-level modal maps.
• Evaluating structure-borne cabin noise and vibrations under varying conditions.
• Engaging in optimization efforts using Optistruct & Mode Frontier.
• Customising and automating simulation tools to streamline the execution process of Design Verification Plans (DVPs).
• Performing Modal Analysis, TPA, ODS, PCA, and Vibro-Acoustics Analysis.
• Correlating simulation load cases to enhance accuracy and reliability in outputs.

Your role will involve working closely with multiple project cross-functional teams (CFTs), executing NVH simulations under the supervision of your manager. A demonstrated automotive NVH expertise, particularly in areas such as Idle NVH, Powertrain NVH, and Road NVH is essential.
