Senior Transmission NVH Developer Segula Technologies - 3.1 Auburn Hills, MI Job Details Full-time 1 day ago Qualifications Communication with suppliers Noise monitoring Collaboration with product development teams Data analytics Leading team collaboration initiatives Collaboration with manufacturing teams Cross-functional team management Cross-functional communication Full Job Description The Senior Transmission NVH Developer will lead transmission, driveline, and related engine-system noise, vibration, harshness, and sound quality development for vehicle programs. This on-site role is focused on hands-on testing, objective data analysis, issue resolution, and cross-functional technical leadership from early development through launch. Key Responsibilities Lead transmission and driveline NVH development, validation, and vehicle-level integration. Define and track NVH targets, KPIs, objective metrics, and launch-readiness status. Plan and execute vehicle, dyno, test cell, bench, and proving ground NVH evaluations. Analyze gear mesh orders, modulation, ghost orders, sidebands, torsional behavior, and structure-borne noise paths. Evaluate engine-related excitation and engine-to-driveline interaction, including combustion orders, torque pulsation, mount behavior, accessory excitation, and calibration effects. Lead root-cause investigations and drive validated technical solutions with cross-functional teams. Communicate findings, risks, and recommendations clearly to engineering, program, supplier, and leadership stakeholders. Basic Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Acoustics, or related technical field. 5+ years of experience in automotive NVH, transmission, driveline, propulsion systems, or vehicle development. Strong understanding of transmission gearsets, gear mesh behavior, torque transfer paths, torsional dynamics, engine operating behavior, combustion order content, torque pulsation, rotating orders, sidebands, bearings, housings, and structure-borne noise paths. Experience with NVH instrumentation, order tracking, data acquisition, objective analysis, and subjective vehicle evaluation. Ability to work independently, lead issue resolution, and collaborate effectively with technicians, engineers, suppliers, manufacturing, quality, and program teams. Preferred Qualifications 10+ years of relevant automotive NVH, powertrain, transmission, driveline, or vehicle development experience. Experience with automatic transmissions, hybrid transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions, transfer cases, reduction gearsets, differential gearsets, planetary gearsets, or related driveline systems. Knowledge of engine systems and engine NVH interactions, including combustion orders, firing frequency behavior, torque pulsation, engine mount tuning, accessory excitation, calibration effects, and engine-to-driveline noise paths. Knowledge of Electric Drive Modules, eAxles, motor order behavior, torque ripple, inverter-related excitation, and electrified driveline NVH interactions is a plus. Experience with CAE correlation, launch support, warranty investigations, benchmarking, target setting, or NVH best-practice development. Key Skills Hands-on NVH testing and troubleshooting Transmission, driveline, and engine-system technical depth Disciplined root-cause analysis and issue closure Clear communication of complex technical findings Cross-functional influence and collaboration Strong focus on sound quality, refinement, and launch readiness
