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.
