Noise & Vibration Simulation Engineer

Description

Sponsorship: GM DOES NOT PROVIDE IMMIGRATION-RELATED SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE. DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS ROLE IF YOU WILL NEED GM IMMIGRATION SPONSORSHIP (e.g., H-1B, TN, STEM OPT, etc.) NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

Work Arrangement: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Warren, Michigan or Milford, MI three times per week, at minimum.

The Role

The Simulation Engineer for Noise and Vibration (N&V) will integrate virtual performance of the vehicle components and subsystems as they relate to noise and vibration characteristics. This role utilizes advanced simulation tools and full vehicle modeling to evaluate and influence design decisions, ensuring N&V performance is effectively integrated across disciplines. By aligning technical solutions with vehicle-level objectives, the engineer helps deliver customer-focused performance while balancing trade-offs across multiple domains.

What You’ll Do

Guide the design and development of systems impacting N&V through simulation-based evaluation, ensuring alignment with vehicle-level performance targets.

Perform advanced analytical simulations at the full vehicle, subsystem, and component levels using tools such as FEA (structural), or MBD (dynamics), or SEA (acoustics), or mid-frequency methods.

Build, debug, and execute simulation models to predict N&V performance and generate actionable design recommendations.

Develop technical solutions that meet N&V targets while optimizing for mass, cost, and packaging constraints.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure holistic performance integration.

Conduct design optimization and variation analysis using Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and other methodologies.

Support the development of new CAE techniques, simulation tools, and procedures, including solver parameters and material characterization using the newest technologies available.

Contribute to Closed-Loop Learning (CLL) initiatives and actively participate in forums supporting virtualization and enterprise-wide performance integration.

Engage in Global CAE Product & Technical Focus Groups and other collaborative engineering communities.

What You’ll Need (Required Qualifications)

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Math or Science or closely related field of study

2+ years of post-graduate N&V experience, preferably using FEA, MBD, or SEA methods for analysis

Understanding of Noise & Vibration theory as it applies to vehicle performance.

Good presentation, written and oral communication skills

Exhibits appropriate interpersonal styles and communication methods to work effectively with business partners to meet mutual goals.

High degree of analytical ability (root cause failure analysis) where problems are complex or difficult

Demonstrated ability to deal with ambiguity

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications) ​

Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering, Math or Science or closely related field of study

Familiarity with a variety of CAE tools (such as Ansa, HyperMesh, OPTISTRUCT, Simpack, Adams, Wave6, Actran, etc.)

Education or experience in the following:

Design, development, and optimization of vehicle structures

Hardware based N&V Vehicle Development or N&V laboratory testing or data acquisition

Good understanding of establishing loads and boundary conditions for FEA or MBD modeling and analysis.

Familiarity or experience in SaFE Agile practices

Experience working globally with regional partners

This job is not eligible for relocation benefits. Any relocation costs would be the responsibility of the selected candidate.
