Location: Palo Alto
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Solutions Engineering & Sales Engineering
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Lead NVH development of drive units, belt systems, and complete vehicles from concept through production.
  • •Develop and validate CAE models (modal, forced response, transfer function, sensitivity) and correlate results with lab and vehicle measurements using MAC and Transfer Path Analysis.
  • •Conduct NVH testing to identify source, path, and receiver contributions and simulate/measure transfer functions and transfer paths to identify dominant mechanisms.
  • •Define NVH targets, metrics, and acceptance criteria for drive units, belt systems, road noise, wind noise, accessories, and structural vibration.
  • •Recommend design improvements and collaborate with controls engineers to reduce NVH via software optimization and related motor-control techniques.
