We’re re-examining our vehicles and what a vehicle means in the emerging world of automation, connectedness, electrification and the shared economy. New ideas, new technology, and new approaches to mobility are our business. Join a team of next generation thinkers.

WHAT TO EXPECT 

Suspension Systems Mechatronics resides within the Chassis Engineering Vertical Function Group which leads the design, development and delivery of several Chassis systems that significantly contribute to JLR’s Vehicle Dynamics performance whilst delivering customer comfort systems. VFG are responsible for systems such as Active Roll Control, Adaptive Dynamics, Air Suspension, Active Suspension and passive systems i.e. roll bars, springs and dampers. All such systems have the potential to generate undesirable Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) issues. This role will be based in Suspension Systems Mechatronics, but will also serve the broader VFG group for NVH expertise.

Key Accountabilities and Responsibilities

• Lead responsibility for NVH attribute performance for VFG systems and components.
• Primary communication contact between Chassis VFG and Vehicle NVH.
• Responsible for NVH target identification and setting (involving the completion of system level bench marking).
• Responsible for translation of vehicle level NVH targets to individual system and component level targets and requirements. Lead the development of system and component design guidelines and specifications to ensure NVH targets are achieved.
• Responsible for developing virtual (CAE) and vehicle NVH testing techniques and methods.
• Responsible for demonstrating NVH performance through virtual and vehicle testing techniques.
• Problem solving and identification of countermeasures to address NVH performance shortfalls to targets as demonstrated through virtual and vehicle testing techniques.
• Technical Lead for resolution of current vehicle quality NVH issues including the development of appropriate service fixes and solutions.

WHAT YOU NEED

• The candidate must be capable of working under own initiative but be prepared to document findings, make recommendations and report out results at a senior level.
• Significant experience in objective measurement, analysis and development of NVH attributes.
• Ability to subjectively and objectively define noise and vibration issues and correlate to customer expectations.
• Previous involvement in a major vehicle programme with demonstrable ownership and successful delivery / resolution of NVH issues.
• Experienced in using industry standard NVH measurement systems, instrumentation and tools (LMS Test.lab, Bruel & Kjaer, HEAD ArtemiS, Link, Matlab etc.)
• Effective communication of complex technical issues to enable necessary design or process changes.
• Writing and delivery of succinct and timely presentations and Technical Reports.
• Experience in NVH modelling of dynamics systems, including hydraulic and pneumatic applications.
