Senior Acoustics Engineer - 36313073 (1002)

Senior Acoustics Engineer | Solihull responsible for reducing wind noise variability on production vehicle lines while representing the customer voice within the manufacturing environment. This role involves detecting and investigating performance deviations, driving issues to resolution, and supporting plant launch and quality actions for future products. Requires automotive production plant experience, strong problem-solving skills, and expertise in NVH development, testing, and vehicle assessment.

Duties:
Responsible for monitoring and minimising the variability of wind noise performance on current production vehicle lines.
Be an in-plant representative for the wind noise attribute, acting as a voice of the customer in the manufacturing environment. The role is to detect where attribute performance could vary away from target (via objective measurement, subjective drive, static assessment/measurement, over checking build conformance to assembly process, etc.), perform initial root cause investigation and drive issues through to resolution with the relevant responsible areas. This role will liaise closely with core aeroacoustics team to understand future products entering plant launch and their critical attribute characteristics as well as ongoing quality actions on current products.
Flexibility to work across various sites is required.

Skills:

• Experience of working in an automotive production plant quality role
• Experience applying engineering problem solving methodologies (six sigma / 8D / Root Cause Analysis) to complex issues
• Full driving license and ability to subjectively assess driven attributes
• Experience of plant attributes (S&R / Wind Noise / Water Test) / NVH development and measurement / vehicle testing and assessment / automotive component development
