Scope of Role:

We are seeking a skilled NVH CAE Engineer with 39 years of experience in automotive NVH simulation to work as an individual contributor, capable of independently delivering complete NVH load cases from model build to interpretation and recommendations. The candidate will drive BIW and full-vehicle NVH performance development, ensuring targets are met through simulation-led design support and correlation with physical testing.

Area of Responsibility:
Independently build and validate BIW and full vehicle (trim body) FE models, including:
Shell/solid meshing (Hex/Tet)
Connections (bolt, weld, seam, adhesive, etc.)
Contacts and mechanisms/assemblies
Perform end-to-end NVH CAE simulations, including:
Normal modes / modal analysis
Frequency response (FRF)
Noise Transfer Function (NTF)
Vibration Transfer Function (VTF)
Energetic stiffness
Powertrain/structure interaction
Drive NVH performance development for BIW and vehicle systems:
Meet defined NVH targets
Identify gaps vs targets
Recommend engineering countermeasures
Conduct root cause analysis for NVH issues and provide actionable design improvements
Perform baseline simulations, analyse results, and clearly communicate insights to stakeholders
Support test-to-CAE correlation activities and model updating




Collaborate with design teams for NVH-driven optimization of structures
Prepare and present explicit, structured reports with conclusions and recommendations

Knowledge / Experience– ~3 to 9 years in NVH CAE preferably in automotive application
Strong expertise in FE model building using HyperMesh
Hands-on experience with:
OptiStruct / Nastran solvers
HyperView & HyperGraph for post-processing
Excellent understanding of:
Finite Element theory and NVH fundamentals
Model quality criteria and best practices
Automotive BIW structures and trim integration
Proficiency in:
Result interpretation (mode shapes, FRFs, transfer paths)
CAE reporting and documentation
Strong understanding of:
Structural dynamics
Vibro-acoustic behavior in vehicles
Noise and vibration paths
Working knowledge of:
Automotive subsystems and integration
Solid analytical and problem-solving mindset
Ability to work as an independent contributor with minimal supervision
Effective communication and presentation skills
Logical thinking with structured approach to engineering problems
Proactive and result-oriented attitude

Qualification:
BE/ M.E./B. Tech in Mechanical / Automobile Engineering from a recognized university.
