Tesla
Tesla Motors is breaking the mold and paving the path to change the way the world looks not only at alternative energy vehicles, but also at the paradigm of human transportation. Our zero tailpipe emission products do not compromise on performance, luxury, nor utility. Neither do we compromise on the people that make our products happen.
Tesla Motors is committed to hiring and developing the top engineers in any given discipline. Our world-class engineering teams operate with a non-conventional automotive product development philosophy of high inter-disciplinary collaboration, flat organizational structure and technical contribution at all levels. You will be expected to challenge and be challenged, to create, to innovate. These jobs are not for everyone.
- You must have a genuine passion for engineering electric vehicles. Without passion, you would find what we’re trying to do too difficult. There are much easier jobs.
- You must want to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial company.
- We are building real products – not presentations. This must excite you. You must be a builder.
We offer a competitive salary, meaningful stock ownership, health benefits, a fun work environment and the chance to make a real contributory impact on the world.
The Role
As a Senior NVH CAE Engineer with Tesla’s Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) team, you will play a critical role in the design and development of Tesla’s industry-leading products. You will analyze, optimize, and revolutionize electric vehicle and energy storage designs. You will work with fellow NVH engineers and other engineering teams to solve the toughest challenges in the industr
What You’ll Do
- Building FE models for analysis and optimization of revolutionary vehicle architectures in collaboration with a small team of multi-disciplinary engineers.
- Performing static/torsional stiffness, modal, point mobility, vibration/acoustic transfer function, and forced/enforced motion response analyses during the design and development process to achieve world-class vehicle attribute targets.
- Performing full vehicle NVH analysis (in-cabin vibration and acoustic predictions).
- Performing CAE transfer path analysis to identify the major noise path and make NVH improvements.
- Performing drive unit airborne and structure-borne noise analyses to reduce cabin gear whine and motor noise.
- Performing thermal system NVH analysis.
- Supporting world-class engineering teams with design direction based on your analyses.
- Performing analysis for feasibility for manufacturing, assembly and service processes.
- Providing input in the creation of component specification, component DFMEA, and other technical design documents where analysis plays a pivotal role.
What You’ll Bring
- Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Ph.D preferred or equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability.
- 3-5 years’ experience for Master’s Degree candidate, 1-2 year experience for Ph.D candidate using Finite Element Analysis related to NVH.
- Expert applied skill in OptiStruct (NASTRAN) or other FEM codes for NVH CAE.
- Strong experience with HyperWorks (HyperMesh and HyperView) or ANSA.
- Excellent understanding of acoustic and vibration principles.
- Strong experience with vehicle NVH CAE.
- Acoustic analysis experience with Siemens Simcenter 3D or MSC Actran is a plus.
- Strong communication skills, independent worker, excellent team player.
- NVH testing experience preferred.
- Demonstrates good judgment in selecting methods and techniques for obtaining solutions.
- Demonstrated ability to deliver analysis on difficult projects with tight timing constraints
