NVH Sound Quality Engineer

What to Expect

As an NVH Sound Quality Engineer with our NVH team you will play a critical role in the design and development of Tesla’s industry-leading products. You will work with fellow NVH engineers and other engineering teams to solve the toughest challenges in the industry and deliver world-class sound quality performance.

What You’ll Do

• Set vehicle-level sound quality targets and define target cascade including vehicle system sensitivities to define component-level targets
• Provide design guidance to engineering teams to achieve world-class acoustic performance of vehicle actuators and ancillary systems
• Collaborate with cross-functional design teams, manufacturing, and suppliers from concept through production
• Develop and apply noise and sound quality metrics to evaluate designs and support engineering decisions
• Diagnose and troubleshoot NVH issues through testing and analysis, and drive countermeasures to resolution

What You’ll Bring

• Minimum 3 years of experience in automotive operational sound quality (OSQ)
• Demonstrated ownership of the full product life cycle: target setting, design development, supplier and manufacturing communication, launch troubleshooting, and customer-driven improvement
• Strong background in psychoacoustics, jury testing methodology and application of sound quality metrics to real vehicle problems
• Excellent understanding of acoustics and vibration principles, rotating and reciprocating source mechanisms, brake noise phenomena and digital signal processing
• Experience with NVH test equipment including impact hammers, shakers, binaural heads, artificial ears, acoustic cameras, microphones, and accelerometers
• Excellent knowledge of Siemens Simcenter Testlab (or equivalent) for data acquisition and post-processing
• Proficient with MATLAB or Python for metric calculation, jury-data analysis, and automation
• Strong communication skills, self-motivation, independent worker, excellent team player
• Demonstrated ability to deliver independent root cause analysis on difficult projects with tight timing constraints
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Acoustics, or equivalent experience
