Job Description:
If you're intrigued by the dream of working alongside the
smartest & most revolutionary designers and engineers in the EV
space, Canoo just may be the place for you. Are you a person who is
irked by the status quo? Do you derive personal satisfaction from
doing something you've never done before, and seeing that work
actually put into production? Here at Canoo, every day is vastly
different from the one before it, as we're moving swiftly toward
our goal of changing the way the world looks at Urban Mobility.
We're a well-funded start-up, led by the who's who of EV business
leaders, whose passion brought them together on this special
mission. We're diligently preparing for our first vehicle launch
and looking for deeply experienced and passionate talent, who are
not just looking for a "job," but rather are driven to raise the
bar and create new benchmarks within the global EV industry. Read
on... Job Purpose Our Aero/NVH team is seeking a highly motivated, well-rounded
individual with experience in automotive aeroacoustics - broadly
skilled but with a focus on simulation. You will be involved in the
development of new vehicles, proposing ways to achieve wind noise
and other related performance targets through extensive simulation,
and you'll work with our test team to help plan and execute tests,
then undertake correlation and come up with creative solutions to
issues that are found. You'll collaborate regularly with the
Aerodynamics, NVH, and Thermal team members to deliver an
outstanding level of acoustic performance for our customers, and
you'll be strongly encouraged to come up with inventive ideas and
push for technical excellence across all the teams you work
with. Responsibilities * Establish vehicle wind noise performance targets, and achieve
those targets * Apply computational fluid dynamics to predict and
visualize flow features creating noise * Propose creative solutions
to wind noise concerns at each stage of vehicle development and
production * Take ownership of planning, reviews with design and
engineering teams, correlation with test data, and reporting of
results * Work with the test team to plan and execute aeroacoustics
evaluations on track and in the wind tunnel, and correlate back to
CFD * Use CATIA to check design changes and create noise mitigation
options for consideration by design and engineering teams *
Identify improvements to software tools used, methodologies used,
and the development process as it applies to noise evaluation and
mitigation - drive our approach for the best efficiency and
outcomes * Work on aerostructural simulation as and when needed in
collaboration with CAE engineers, and work on general external
aerodynamic or related problems when workloads align * Willingness
to travel domestically (and potentially internationally) for test
campaigns Experience * 3+ years of strong experience in CFD-based aeroacoustics for
automotive or closely-related applications * Direct experience
applying multiple software solutions to calculate vibration through
glass/structure to predict noise at the occupant's ear, based on
pressure fluctuations * Excellent fundamental understanding of
aerodynamic noise and fluid dynamics in general * Bachelor's degree
or higher in mechanical/aerospace or related field * Able to
communicate complex information clearly to engineers and managers *
Demonstrated proficiency with CAD surfacing (Catia is a bonus, but
any package is useful) * Ability to meet timing, budget, and output
targets with good self-management - demonstrated ability and
willingness to lead an area and/or take ownership of attributes,
and deliver * Proficiency with Elements and/or Powerflow or
similar; experience with acoustic wind tunnel testing, hands-on
experience with subjective wind noise evaluation preferred What's Cool About Working Here... * Four months paid primary care giver leave * Flexible PTO *
Participation in the Employee Equity Compensation Plan * Beautiful
new facility in Torrance * Casual workplace with an unbelievable
feeling of energy * Work in a high-growth start up that will
