Lead Engineer - NVH

Responsibilities & Key Deliverables

• The Lead Engineer will be pivotal in ensuring the delivery of superior Vehicle NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) levels during the product development phase, specifically during the physical prototype stage.
• You will benchmark and set robust targets for various NVH aspects, ensuring they meet all Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) requirements.
• Your responsibilities will include the careful planning and execution of NVH development work in the physical prototype stage, while closely aligning with the Design Team to implement NVH recommendations smoothly.
• You'll be tasked with delivering vehicle and system-level NVH requirements, focusing on various components such as BIW NVH, sound packages, trimmed body NVH, chassis engineering, suspension, tyre NVH, and more, all ensuring compliance with defined NVH, road, and wind targets. 
• 
  Additionally, you will prepare and track NVH risks, proactively solving issues to meet deliverables.
• Your role will also encompass developing and managing current and future NVH resources, in line with technological advancements and needs.
• As an industry frontrunner, you will be responsible for promoting new processes and technologies associated with NVH challenges.
• Regular participation in subjective jury trials will be essential to align your work with FI targets in this critical programme.
• You must possess solid knowledge regarding vehicle NVH development processes and tools that cater to meeting targets during the physical prototype phase, alongside a foundational understanding of NVH simulation and its applications.

Experience

The ideal candidate will possess 8 to 12 years of robust experience in the field of Vehicle NVH. You should have advanced skills in employing NVH tools such as Test Lab and Muller BBm, as well as familiarity with innovative techniques including ASQ, PCA, TPA, and Sound Power. Your expertise must extend to vehicle system NVH knowledge across various domains such as Powertrain, Driveline, Chassis, suspension, sound packages, mounts, seats, steering systems, and BIW, providing crucial refinement insights during both the development and benchmarking phases.
You should have a proven track record of working with new technologies and processes within NVH, as well as an understanding of design and manufacturing with respect to NVH countermeasure aspects. Your experience will contribute significantly to driving forward NVH excellence within the team.
