Dyno & NVH Process Engineer

What To Expect

As a Process Engineer, you will be owning the Dyno and NVH (Noise, Vibration, & Harshness) testing process and work as a in house subject matter expert. You will be responsible for the upkeeping of the data integrity and health of the Dynamometer (Dynos) and its instrumentation by working with the other Testline Engineers. With NVH background, you will be analyzing the NVH and Dyno data and use it to troubleshoot and diagnose process and part related issues. You will be working closely with quality, mechanical and NVH design, field, and supplier engineering teams to ensure manufacturing and production of the world class drive units. You will be working closely with NVH engineers and provide them data to challenge, reassess, and define new NVH limits. You will also be working with other process engineers to ensure process capability of the equipment by using statistical tools such as SPC, DoE, and MSA (Measurement system analysis), and regression studies. This role is also going to be supporting other Testline processes along with Dynos.
