About Us: QDSL (Quintessential Design Services Limited) is an engineering and technology consultancy based in the UK, supporting client projects in the fields of Engineering Innovations, Research & Development, and IT. We offer engineering support in Automotive, Aerospace, Energy, and IT.
You’ll be supporting the team in delivering the electrified powerpack NVH attribute for all vehicle applications, working on all aspects of electrified powerpack NVH design, development, and delivery from initial concept design through to series production. The team’s primary role is the NVH development of Electric Drive Units (EDUs). Responsible for the complete torque transfer system from the output of an internal combustion engine to the wheel hubs. The role includes supporting analysis of competitor information, benchmarking, setting targets, liaising with all areas of EDU design & development, Powertrain, and Vehicle NVH teams. Scope covers from component to vehicle level to deliver the NVH attribute using rigs, noise test cells, and vehicle testing. You’ll work very closely with the CAE NVH team who provide virtual development tools to support NVH attribute delivery.
This role is open for onsite in the UK (for UK residents only) or remote from another country on a contract basis to support projects in the UK.
Job Type: Permanent / Contract - For Remote
Location: Onsite in West Midlands, UK (for UK residents only); Remote on Contract from another country.
