Join Toyota Motor Europe’s internship to reduce road noise in hybrid and electric vehicles. You’ll optimize component assessments, validate findings using CAE software, and support physical updates. Focus on minimizing forces transmitted through suspension components, accelerating time-to-market, reducing CO2 emissions, and lowering costs
TME R&D centre is responsible for planning, development and production support of vehicles aimed at - and locally produced for - the European market.
The “NV & Driveability” team is part of the Vehicle Performance Engineering division (VPE) division and is responsible for the vehicle NVH (Noise, Vibration and harshness) according to EU customer expectations. We aim at the development of attractive and “fun to drive” cars matching European market requirements and customer expectations. Using state-of-the art experimental and numerical methods, we develop strategies to achieve the targets and validate them on virtual and physical prototypes.
You will contribute to an ongoing research project where the main goal is to build a detailed understanding of the different modes along the road noise path, how they contribute to the force transmission, and how they can be controlled through specific properties of the components involved. You will:
You are pursuing your master’s in mechanical or automotive engineering, with a strong interest in cars and sound/acoustics. You have a background in structural dynamics (including modal analysis) and acoustics; knowledge of Noise & vibration testing (Testlab) and simulation (Nastran) is an important plus. You have some affinity with mathematical and physical modelling, and scientific scripting in Matlab or Python. You have a good English capability, and you are eager to work in a multi-cultural environment.
We offer a dynamic multicultural work environment with broad opportunities to learn every day and exciting career pathways that help you explore different disciplines or areas of expertise.
