Senior Specialist – NVH Simulations

Here at Scout Motors, we're carrying forward the heritage of one of the most iconic American vehicles in history. A vehicle dating back to 1960. One that forged the path for future generations of rugged SUVs and trucks and will do so once again.

But Scout is more than just a brand, it’s a legacy steeped in a culture of exploration, caretaking, and hard work. The Scout brand is all about respect. Respect for the past and the future by taking an iconic American brand that hasn’t been around for a while, electrifying it, digitizing it, and loading it with American innovation.

Respect for communities by creating a company that stands for its people and its customers. Respect for both work and play, with vehicles that are equally at home at a camp site, a job site, or on a Tuesday commute.

What You’Ll Do

Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following: Responsible for end-to-end NVH simulation development across component, subsystem, and full-vehicle levels, covering structure-borne and airborne noise. Build and execute high-fidelity CAE models to predict vibration behavior, noise propagation, and overall acoustic performance. Perform modal, frequency response, and transfer path analyses to identify dominant noise and vibration sources and paths.

Develop and apply structure-borne and airborne NVH models, including mounts, body structures, cavity acoustics, and acoustic treatments. Define and cascade NVH targets from vehicle to subsystem and component levels. Lead root-cause analysis and develop simulation-driven countermeasures.

Correlate CAE predictions with physical test data and improve model accuracy and predictive capability. Partner with design, body, and supplier teams to integrate NVH solutions early in development. Review design changes for cross-attribute NVH impact and support vehicle milestones and sign-off.

Drive optimization of damping, isolation, structural, and acoustic solutions. Develop efficient workflows, automation, and contribute to digital twin integration. Support adoption of AI/ML tools to enhance NVH prediction and workflow efficiency.

Who You Are

Strong foundation in vibration, acoustics, and structural dynamics with hands-on NVH CAE experience. Experienced in full-vehicle NVH development within an OEM or Tier-1 environment. Analytical, detail-oriented, and able to balance engineering depth with program timelines.

Effective communicator of complex technical insights across cross-functional teams. Motivated to deliver high-quality vehicles and continuously improve engineering processes. Location & Travel Expectations : This role may be based out of the Scout Motors corporate headquarters in Charlotte, NC .

This role requires 4-5 days per week in the office, with regular in-person meetings and events.
