Job Description – NVH CAE Engineer

Work Model: In‑person (Work from Office)
Experience Level: 2-5 Years
Location: Pune

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated and self-driven NVH CAE Engineer to join our CAE Body Performance Development team. The ideal candidate will possess strong technical problem‑solving capabilities, leadership qualities, and hands‑on experience in NVH model building & simulations using primarily in NASTRAN, ANSA/META (Optistrut, Hypermesh / Hyperview), and related tools. This role involves supporting clients on vehicle NVH load cases, analyzing results, preparing detailed engineering reports, and recommending design countermeasures to meet or exceed NVH targets.

Key Responsibilities

Technical & Simulation Responsibilities:

Handle full‑vehicle and subsystem NVH load cases using Nastran (SOL101, SOL103, SOL108, SOL111 & SOL200), Opti Strut,
Perform model assembly and integration for:
