Descrição
The CAE Engineer for Noise and Vibration (N&V) leads the virtual performance integration of the vehicle components and subsystems as they relate to noise and vibration characteristics. This role utilizes advanced simulation tools and full vehicle modeling to evaluate and influence design decisions, ensuring N&V performance is effectively integrated across disciplines. By aligning technical solutions with vehicle-level objectives, the engineer helps deliver customer-focused performance while balancing trade-offs across multiple domains.
The engineer in this role will be focused on structural vibration and structure-borne noise using primarily finite element methods. The engineer performs complex computer simulations to predict N&V performance against defined metrics and develops integrated solutions that meet program requirements. This role is instrumental in driving enterprise-wide alignment, ensuring N&V considerations are embedded early and consistently throughout the vehicle development process.
Senior CAE Engineer
What You’ll Do
- Lead the design and development of systems impacting N&V through simulation-based evaluation, ensuring alignment with vehicle-level performance targets.
- Perform advanced analytical simulations at the full vehicle, subsystem, and component levels using primarily finite element tools (FEA) for structural vibration and structure-borne noise including mid-frequency.
- Build, debug, and execute simulation models to predict N&V performance and generate actionable design recommendations.
- Develop technical solutions that meet N&V targets while optimizing for mass, cost, and packaging constraints.
- Lead and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure holistic performance integration.
- Develop technical solutions using Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and other methodologies enabling optimal and robust designs.
- Lead the development of new CAE techniques, simulation tools, and procedures, including solver parameters and material characterization.
- Stay current with emerging CAE tools, technologies, and competitive product trends through training and technical workshops.
- Lead Closed-Loop Learning (CLL) initiatives and actively participate in forums supporting virtualization and enterprise-wide performance integration.
- Engage in Global CAE Product & Technical Focus Groups and other collaborative engineering communities.
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
