The company focuses on deep vertical integration, with design, engineering, and production managed in-house across global offices and manufacturing facilities. This internship position for an Engineer II NVH is based in Saudi Arabia and is designed for individuals with 0-1 years of experience.

Role Overview: Plant NVH Engineer

The Plant NVH Engineer supports vehicle Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) quality activities within the manufacturing environment. This role focuses on End-of-Line (EOL) vehicle quality validation, launch support, data analysis, and production issue investigations. The objective is to ensure vehicles meet customer expectations and company quality standards. The engineer will collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, Service, Product Engineering, and Plant NVH Technicians to identify, diagnose, and resolve vehicle NVH concerns through objective testing, subjective evaluations, and data-driven analysis.

Key Responsibilities

• Support daily monitoring of plant NVH quality metrics and production trends.
• Assist in maintaining and improving EOL NVH screening processes and acceptance criteria.
• Analyze production data to identify potential quality concerns and emerging trends.
• Support validation of vehicle quality standards through objective and subjective assessments.
• Assist with development and implementation of new diagnostic methods and test procedures.
• Participate in root cause investigations for vehicle noise, vibration, and harshness concerns identified during manufacturing.
• Support vehicle-level and subsystem-level testing activities, collecting and analyzing data to identify potential contributors to NVH issues.
• Assist with containment activities and corrective action validation, documenting findings and communicating results to cross-functional teams.
• Support NVH readiness activities during vehicle launches and production ramp-up, including validation of manufacturing processes and EOL screening systems.
• Perform objective and subjective vehicle evaluations, utilizing measurement equipment such as microphones, accelerometers, SCADAS systems, and Squadriga systems.
• Analyze vibration and acoustic measurements using approved software tools and methodologies, generating reports and summaries for engineering investigations.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, Service Engineering, Supplier Quality, and Product Engineering teams, communicating technical findings and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Support initiatives aimed at improving NVH quality and manufacturing performance, including reduction of warranty-related NVH concerns.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 1-3 years of experience in automotive engineering, testing, manufacturing, quality, or NVH-related activities.
• Experience collecting and analyzing engineering test data.
• Familiarity with microphones, accelerometers, vibration measurement systems, or similar test equipment.
• Ability to conduct objective and subjective vehicle evaluations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to travel occasionally in support of launch and investigation activities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in automotive NVH, vehicle testing, manufacturing quality, or diagnostics.
• Familiarity with SCADAS, HEAD acoustics Squadriga, Siemens *****, Artemis Suite, or similar tools.
• Experience supporting vehicle launches or manufacturing operations.
• Knowledge of automotive systems including body, chassis, propulsion, thermal, and electrical systems.
• Familiarity with statistical analysis and data visualization tools.
• Exposure to Buzz, Squeak & Rattle (BSR), airborne noise, or vibration diagnostics.

Work Environment

This role involves working within a manufacturing environment and requires close collaboration with various cross-functional teams including Manufacturing, Quality, Service Engineering, Supplier Quality, and Product Engineering. The position may also involve participation in pilot builds and production validation activities.
