NVH CAE Engineer(Contract Position:1 year).Auburn Hills, MI.

A NVH CAE Engineer leads vehicle-level structural NVH simulations and drive design improvements to meet performance targets. This role requires strong technical ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to influence design decision through predictive simulation insights across the vehicle development lifecycle.

Responsibilities:

· Lead structural NVH development using CAE, balancing durability, NVH, safety, weight, and cost targets.

· Develop, validate, and maintain high-fidelity full-vehicle and subsystem CAE models.

· Perform modal, frequency response, and vibration analyses at full-vehicle, trim body, and subsystem levels.

· Define and optimize structural load paths to achieve global modes, stiffness, and noise performance targets.

· Drive weight and cost reduction initiatives through optimization and lightweight material strategies.

· Correlate CAE results with physical test data and continuously improve model fidelity.

· Clearly communicate findings, risks, and recommended design actions to cross-functional teams.

· Collaborate with global engineering teams across design, testing, and program management.

Qualifications:

· Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

· 8+ years of hands-on experience in vehicle structural NVH CAE.

· Strong understanding of structural dynamics, modal analysis, and first-principles mechanics.

· Proven experience meeting global NVH performance targets.

· Proficiency in scripting (Python, TCL, or equivalent) for automation and post-processing.

· Experience with OptiStruct, Nastran, HyperWorks suite, ANSA, and MetaPost.

· Experience with AI/ML-assisted CAE workflows.

· Experience across multiple vehicle architectures, including EVs and hybrid platforms.

· Strong communication skills with the ability to influence design decisions.

Note: Its a contract position for one year.
