JOB PURPOSE
CAE NVH engineer will be responsible for vehicle NVH simulations, participate in defining the vehicle architecture from concept to detailed design. Collaborate with other department to deliver vehicle performance, packaging and mass optimization.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND GOALS
- Full vehicle NVH model building and maintain models including TBiW / Suspension / Powertrain / Steering.
- Conduct multiple NVH analyses including, but not limited to, modal analysis / dynamic stiffness analysis / NTF / ACF / TPA for BiW / trimmed body / full vehicle to address noise issues originated from various sources of the vehicles such as PT noise / drive line unbalance / wheel tire unbalance / Road shake and noise.
- Post process the results, identify root-cause of the issues and make design recommendation to meet the highest level of NVH performances for Canoo vehicles.
- Define the vehicle structural architecture and support the packaging of key components for optimize the crash performance
- Optimize the structure from concept to detailed design for mass and NVH performance
- Evaluate the body structure stiffness and dynamic stiffness, trim body in white and perform acoustic sensitivity studies
- Support mass evaluations, trade and concept studies
- Support component, sub-systems and vehicle testing to correlate the CAE model
- Collaborate with vendors to improve the material database and accuracy of the model
- Develop specifications of component performance, performed testing and development of vehicle
