Senior CAE Durability and NVH Engineer

A Senior CAE Durability and NVH Engineer focuses on vehicle-level durability and NVH CAE simulation across the full development lifecycle. The engineer will drive design decisions using simulation insights while balancing NVH, durability, safety, weight, and cost targets.

Responsibilities:

• Lead NVH and durability CAE for full vehicle programs.

• Build and maintain high-fidelity FEA models at vehicle and subsystem level.

• Perform global stiffness, modal, frequency response, vibration, stress, and fatigue analyses.

• Predict durability life and identify potential failure locations.

• Optimize structural load paths for NVH and durability targets.

• Support lightweighting through topology optimization and material selection.

• Evaluate joints, welds, adhesives, and structural configurations.

• Correlate CAE results with test data and improve model accuracy.

• Provide clear simulation results and design recommendations.

• Work with Design, Body, Trim, Manufacturing, and Program teams globally

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

• 8+ years of NVH and durability CAE experience in automotive.

• Strong knowledge of structural dynamics and fatigue mechanics.

• Experience with vehicle NVH and durability performance targets.

• Ability to correlate simulation with physical testing.

• Proficiency in Python, TCL, or similar scripting.

• Experience with OptiStruct, Nastran, Abaqus, LS Dyna, nCode, FEMFAT.

• Experience with HyperWorks, ANSA, MetaPost.

• Exposure to EV and hybrid vehicle platforms preferred.

• AI/ML-based CAE experience is a plus.

• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Work Authorization: U.S. Citizenship, U.S. Permanent Residency, or valid EAD required.
