Be part of a Ford team responsible for methods development and process evolution. You will be tasked with integrating NVH principles into the road loads & durability product development and sign off process. You will work with the Road Loads & Durability department to understand high-incident rate issues and develop methods to improve the robustness of Pre-FDJ component sign-off. In this position, your primary development tool will be NVH CAE analysis, so experience and proficiency with finite element models and pre-processors is strongly preferred.What you'll do...
Lead the development of correlation methods for durability events in the frequency domain.
Leverage legacy road loads test data to develop characterization methods for components in the NVH Console environment
Evolve NVH tools to represent Durability events in the time and frequency domains
Develop methods to cascade component PSD targets during analytical development of a vehicle line.
Develop methods for quantifying modal alignment sensitivityYou'll have...
Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
