Tesla is seeking an NVH engineering intern to assist in the design and development of electric vehicle products. The role involves analyzing and optimizing vehicle designs to enhance noise, vibration, and harshness attributes, while collaborating with engineering teams to solve industry challenges.

• Currently pursuing a degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field
• Excellent understanding of acoustics and vibration principles, digital signal processing, sound quality metrics
• Experience with Modal Analysis, Transfer Path Analysis (TPA), Panel Contribution Analysis and general data acquisition
• Experienced in NVH test equipment including impact hammers, shakers, PU probes, acoustic cameras, impedance tube, string pot, accelerometers and microphones
• Excellent knowledge of Siemens Simcenter Testlab software for data acquisition and post-processing
• Proficient with MATLAB or Python, CAD, SEA (Actran SEA or equivalent), Alphacell (or material analysis tool), and Alpha cabin
• Strong communication skills, self-motivation, independent worker, excellent team player

• Be responsible for designing prototype parts and evaluate their NVH impact
• Optimize the existing sound package to meet the design target (cost, mass, and performance)
• Come up with a creative idea for next generation lightweight sound package
• Conduct and analyze NVH testing of vehicle components to provide design guidance during the design and development process to achieve world-class vehicle attribute targets
• Diagnose and troubleshoot vehicle NVH issues through testing and analysis (TPA, panel contribution, FRF, ODS, etc.)
• Assess and analyze vehicle NVH performance to optimize and enhance NVH attributes
• Engage in collaborative efforts with the design and manufacturing to upload the quality of NVH attributes
• Perform component and full vehicle level testing to support NVH performance validation, attribute targets setting and CAE correlation
• Develop and refine NVH test methods, procedures and processing techniques
• Collect, manage, and process component level data on various suspension parts
• Create virtual tire models from physical test data to aid in setting of attribute targets

• Employees at Tesla are often offered day-one coverage with multiple medical options (some at $0 paycheck cost), dental/vision, company HSA contributions, a 401(k) match, and equity programs. Most roles also include paid time off and holidays, family-building support, employee assistance, commuter and childcare benefits, and access to discounts and wellness programs.
