Education: Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field

Detailed JD:

Vehicle Evaluation & Root Cause Analysis

• Conduct on-road and proving ground brake refinement evaluations across multiple European locations (Up to 3 weeks at a time).

• Provide detailed technical feedback to support root cause identification of refinement issues.

• Collaborate with design, CAE, and test teams to develop and validate countermeasures.

Brake NVH & Refinement

• Investigate and resolve brake NVH issues including squeal, judder, and creep groan.

• Operate NVH-specific measurement tools (e.g., HEAD Acoustics, Polytech laser vibrometer, Link brake dynamometers and vehicle, LMS Test Lab).

• Perform objective and subjective assessments to correlate customer perception with engineering data.

CAE & Simulation

• Conduct and support finite element analysis (FEA) for brake system components and assemblies using 3Dx, Altair, Abaqus.

• Support correlation of CAE predictions with physical test results.

• Apply simulation to optimize brake system design for refinement performance.

-Data Acquisition & Processing

• Acquire and process test data using Artemis, Link, LMS Test Lab.

• Analyze NVH and thermal performance data to identify trends and anomalies.

• Prepare technical reports and recommendations for design changes.

Problem Solving & Quality Tools

• Apply structured problem-solving methodologies (8D, Root Cause Analysis, FMEA) to resolve brake refinement issues.

• Document findings and corrective actions in line with quality management processes.

• Proven experience in automotive brake system refinement and NVH engineering.

• Hands-on experience with vehicle testing and instrumentation for brake NVH.

• Proficiency in NVH measurement systems (HEAD Acoustics, LMS, Polytech) and brake dynamometer testing.

• Strong CAE skills in FEA (3Dx, Altair, Abaqus) for brake system analysis.

• Competence in data acquisition and signal processing tools (Artemis, Link, LMS).

• Knowledge of brake system design, materials, and thermal behavior.

• Experience in structured problem-solving (8D, RCA) and quality tools.
