NVH Product Engineer (M/F/D)

Role Purpose

The NVH Product Engineer is responsible for the product-side ownership of NVH performance on the assigned programme(s) covering root-cause analysis, design countermeasures, customer interface and feedback loop into CAE / ETC.

The role reports hierarchically to the NVH Supervisor and works in matrix with Product Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Testing, Quality, CAE / ETC and Global product owners. The Product Engineer is the technical authority on NVH product behaviour for the assigned scope, complementary to the NVH Testing Coordinator who owns the testing side.

Key Responsibilities

Product NVH Ownership

• Owns NVH product performance for the assigned programme
• Drives root-cause analysis on NVH defects and abnormal patterns
• Defines and validates design countermeasures together with CAE, ETC and Global product owners.
• Owns NVH parameters at EOL (limits, masks, retest rules) for the assigned product scope.

Customer Interface

• Acts as plant technical interface to Customers on NVH product topics.
• Prepares and delivers technical content for customer reviews, task forces and audits.
• Translates customer NVH requirements into product validation and EOL acceptance criteria.

Cross-functional Alignment

• Aligns daily with the NVH Testing Coordinator on test execution, retest decisions and data interpretation.
• Drives design / process change requests through Product Engineering, Manufacturing and Quality.
• Coordinates with the NVH Equipment Engineer to ensure measurement chain integrity.

Validation & Launch

• Owns NVH validation activities for design changes (DV, PV, MR, PPAP) on the assigned programme.
• Supports launch readiness and SOP gates from an NVH product perspective.
• Drives lessons learned across HRAM, DL and AL programmes.

Knowledge & Methodology

• Maintains the technical baseline for the assigned product scope — order analysis maps, MSA, spectrum interpretation rules.
• Contributes to DFMEA / PFMEA NVH content.
• Mentors NVH Product Technicians on root-cause and validation work.

Requirements & Competencies

Education & Experience

• Engineering degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics or similar discipline (Master’s preferred).
• Minimum 4–6 years of experience in NVH on automotive e-Drive, transmission or powertrain products.
• Experience interfacing directly with customers on NVH topics is a strong advantage.

Technical Profile

• Strong NVH fundamentals — order analysis, modal behaviour, gear and electric machine NVH, structure-borne vs. air-borne paths.
• Hands-on experience with EOL NVH measurement chain and post-processing tools (Discom, ARTeMiS or similar).
• Solid grasp of MSA, statistical methods and spectrum interpretation.
• Knowledge of CAE/CAA tools and ability to engage with simulation teams (CAE / ETC).
• Familiarity with FMEA methodology (AIAG/VDA).

Leadership & Behavioral Skills

• Technical authority — able to defend product NVH positions internally and with customers.
• Structured, fact-based problem solving under launch / crisis pressure.
• Strong communication skills — technical, managerial and customer-facing.
