InDepth Engineering Solutions, LLC | Full time

Auburn Hills, United States | Posted on 03/05/2026

This position requires strong technical ownership in structural NVH simulation across the full vehicle development lifecycle, with the ability to influence design decisions using CAE-driven insights.

• Lead structural NVH development using CAE, balancing durability, NVH, safety, weight, and cost targets.
• Develop, validate, and maintain high-fidelity full-vehicle and subsystem CAE models.
• Perform modal, frequency response, and vibration analyses at full-vehicle, trim body, and subsystem levels.
• Define and optimize structural load paths to achieve global modes, stiffness, and noise performance targets.
• Drive weight and cost reduction initiatives through optimization and lightweight material strategies.
• Correlate CAE results with physical test data and continuously improve model fidelity.
• Clearly communicate findings, risks, and recommended design actions to cross-functional teams.
• Collaborate with global engineering teams across design, testing, and program management.

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 8+ years of hands-on experience in vehicle structural NVH CAE.
• Strong understanding of structural dynamics, modal analysis, and first-principles mechanics.
• Proven experience meeting global NVH performance targets.
• Proficiency in scripting (Python, TCL, or equivalent) for automation and post-processing.
• Experience with Opti Struct, Nastran, Hyper Works suite, ANSA, and Meta Post.
• Experience with AI/ML-assisted CAE workflows.
• Experience across multiple vehicle architectures, including EVs and hybrid platforms.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence design decisions.
