Senior NVH & Durability Analyst

About This Role

Perform advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to resolve Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) and durability challenges for vehicle, aerospace, and amusement park ride structures. Build FEA models and conduct Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis, providing engineering explanations and design solutions.

Responsibilities

• Build FEA models for automotive, aerospace, and industrial segments using commercial software (MSC-NASTRAN, ABAQUS, ANSYS Mechanical)
• Conduct CAE analysis independently using CAE tools
• Support analysis with sound engineering explanation and hand calculations
• Review results with lead engineer or supervisor and share with the customer
• Recommend alternative analysis approaches and design solutions to meet functional targets
• Interface with customer to complete tasks with high quality and meet timelines
• Contribute to existing and develop new analyses capability as part of continuous improvement
• Maintain pertinent information in assigned location and perform data cleanup
• Interact confidently and professionally with stakeholders at all levels
• Learn different computer-aided engineering software packages quickly

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
• Minimum 5 years of CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) experience
• Experience in modal, point mobility, and acoustic analysis
• Experience in strength, stiffness and stress (including thermal) in linear and nonlinear (material and contact) domains
• Experience in size, shape, and other optimization analysis using optimization tools
• Strong fundamental knowledge in strength of materials and failure theory for metals and composites and vibration concepts
• Strong aptitude in modeling and simulation with ability to solve engineering problems
• Good understanding of kinematics, static, and dynamics
• Advanced software skills in finite element pre-processors, solvers, and post-processors (Altair Hyperworks, ANSA & META, NASTRAN, ABAQUS, OPTISTRUCT, ANSYS, nCode) and Finite Element Method Fatigue (FEMFAT)
• Good verbal and written communication skills

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
• Minimum 5 years of CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) experience

Nice to Have

• Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering specializing in structural dynamics and mechanics, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), or fatigue theory, noise and vibration, and 3 years of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) experience
• U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident allowing for International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) compliance
• Experience in advanced simulation tools such as Simcenter Amesim, and application in autonomous and electric vehicles
• Experience with full vehicle ‘CAE to Test’ correlation
• Experience with performance optimization and trade-off evaluations for multi-body systems
• Experience with suspension and powertrain integration into vehicles using CAE techniques
• AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Machining Learning skills
