What To Expect
We are seeking an NVH Engineer to join our Vehicle Design Team, focusing on noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing of rotating components at the component and vehicle level. This is a hands-on testing role — you will design and execute tests, acquire and analyse data, and translate findings into actionable engineering feedback. We are welcoming candidates with early career experience looking to grow. Candidates with hands-on testing experience through programs like Formula SAE, FSAE Electric, or similar engineering competitions are strongly encouraged to apply — practical experience in test execution and mechanical systems is valued alongside traditional industry background.
What You'll Do
Design and execute component-level NVH tests on rotating machinery including motors, compressors, pumps, and fans
Design and execute vehicle-level NVH tests, delivering detailed reports on rotating system noise performance covering structure-borne and airborne contributions
Operate and maintain large data acquisition systems, managing test setup, signal validation, and data quality
Process and analyse test data using MATLAB or Python, producing clear and repeatable analysis workflows
Provide feedback to vehicle design teams on NVH treatments, isolation strategies, and structural improvements based on test findings
Design and execute experimental modal analysis tests to characterise structural dynamics, identifying natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping properties of components and vehicle structures
Support the development and maintenance of virtual path analysis data libraries using transfer path analysis (TPA) methodologies
Collaborate with cross-functional design teams including thermal and powertrain groups to support continuous noise reduction efforts
What You'll Bring
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, Physics, or equivalent experience
Foundational knowledge of rotational acoustics and vibration principles
Hands-on experience with physical testing in NVH, durability, or mechanical systems in any industry or academic setting
Experience with data acquisition systems such as Siemens Testlab or similar platforms
Proficiency in MATLAB or Python for data processing or automation
Experience with powertrain, driveline, or rotating component NVH testing at the component or vehicle level
Experience with Formula SAE, FSAE Electric, or similar hands-on engineering competitions is a strong asset
