Job Description NVH CAE Engineer

Work Model: In person (Work from Office)
Experience Level: 2-5 Years
Location: Pune

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated and self-driven NVH CAE Engineer to join our CAE Body Performance Development team. The ideal candidate will possess strong technical problem solving capabilities, leadership qualities, and hands on experience in NVH model building simulations using primarily in NASTRAN, ANSA/META (Optistrut, Hypermesh / Hyperview), and related tools. This role involves supporting clients on vehicle NVH load cases, analyzing results, preparing detailed engineering reports, and recommending design countermeasures to meet or exceed NVH targets.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Simulation Responsibilities:

- Handle full vehicle and subsystem NVH load cases using Nastran (SOL101, SOL103, SOL108, SOL111 SOL200), Opti Strut,
- Perform model assembly and integration for:
- BIW, Trim BIW, Full vehicle
- Body Powertrain coupling, Structure fluid coupling

- Build and evaluate FE models, ensuring:

- High quality meshing
- Correct material properties
- Accurate connections (rigids, bushings, welds, etc.)

- Generate acoustic cavity models with correct measurement point positioning.
- Evaluate and integrate subsystem models from straightforward to highly complex assemblies.

NVH Analysis Execution :

- Modal Analysis Modal Alignment
- Frequency Response Functions Direct Response Analysis
- Dynamic Stiffness Road Noise
- Vibration Transfer Function Noise Transfer Function
- Powertrain Noise (WOT IDLE)
- Road-Load Conditions Interior Acoustic Response

Post Processing Interpretation

- Identify BIW/TBIW global modes
- Interpret FRFs, transfer functions, and dynamic responses
- Evaluate Sound Pressure Levels (Pa, dB, dB(A))
- Conduct Transfer Path Analysis ( TPA ) to identify dominant noise contributors

Project Execution Client Interaction





- Independently lead NVH simulation projects and deliver high quality results
- Prepare detailed technical reports and present findings to clients
- Provide structural design countermeasures to achieve NVH performance targets
- Communicate with clients on daily simulation activities, deliverables, and decision making support
- Mentor junior team members and contribute to competency development
- Ensure adherence to customer expectations regarding quality, timelines, and technical guidelines

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor s or Master s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace Engineering , or related field
- Minimum 2-5 years of vehicle-level NVH analysis experience.
- Strong understanding of Structural Mechanics, Finite Element Methods, material modelling, connections/contacts, and linear/nonlinear behaviour
- Hands on experience with:
- Pre-processing: ANSA (preferred) / HyperMesh
- Post-processing: META (preferred) / HyperView

- Ability to interpret simulation results including stress-strain, deformation, energy, acceleration, and acoustic metrics.
- Analytical mindset with strong organizational and problem solving skills
- Advanced or fluent English communication skills

Preferred Skills (Good to Have)

- Experience in Statistical Energy Analysis, (Mid High Frequency Analysis)
- Experience in other tools like AVL, GT Suit will be preferred
- CAE physical test correlation experience
- Programming/scripting skills: Python , TCL.
- Familiarity with HPC environments (clusters, cloud-based simulation platforms)
- Experience with other solvers: Abaqus , LS-Dyna , PAM Crash

Qualifications

- Bachelor s or Master s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace Engineering , or related field
