FEA and NVH Engineering Analyst

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Brazil.

📋 Description

• Assemble various vehicle subsystems, ranging from simple systems to body and suspension systems.

• Evaluate mesh quality and the consistency of properties and connections, including rigid elements, bushings, and weld spots.

• Create acoustic cavities while adhering to specified measurement points.

• Incorporate subsystems and develop BIW, TBIW, and Full Vehicle models.

• Conduct structure–fluid coupling analyses.

• Integrate the vehicle body with the powertrain.

• Execute Modal FRF, dynamic stiffness, acoustic response, powertrain noise, road noise, and direct response analyses.

• Utilize Nastran as the primary solver, including SOL101, SOL103, SOL108, and SOL111.

• Identify global modes within BIW and TBIW models.

• Interpret FRFs and transfer functions.

• Assess sound pressure levels in Pa, dB, and dB(A).

• Analyze results under various conditions, especially powertrain noise scenarios such as WOT and IDLE.

• Identify transfer paths (TPA).

• Suggest structural enhancements to minimize vibration and noise.

• Conduct CAE-to-test correlation.

• Prepare and deliver detailed reports.

• Investigate the root causes of peaks.

⛳️ Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, or a related field).

• Minimum of 3–5 years of CAE experience with a focus on NVH/Powertrain.

• Familiarity with preprocessing tools such as ANSA (preferred) or HyperMesh.

• Experience with post-processing tools like META (preferred) or HyperView.

• Proficient in NVH simulations.

• Ability to interpret analytical results effectively.

• Analytical and organized profile with a strong emphasis on problem-solving.

• Advanced or fluent proficiency in English.

• Experience with additional solvers (e.g., Abaqus or Nastran) is an asset.

• Experience with CAE-to-physical-test correlation is advantageous.

• Programming/scripting experience (Python, TCL) is beneficial.

• Familiarity with HPC environments (cluster or cloud) is a plus.

• Proficiency in Spanish is a plus.

🏝️ Benefits

• Employees have the option to work remotely.

• Work arrangement (on-site, hybrid, or fully remote) to be mutually agreed upon.

• Applus IDIADA is dedicated to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion.
