SKILLS
ABOUT ALEXANDRU PAUN
I’m a senior NVH engineer with 14+ years of experience in physical testing, psychoacoustics, and Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) — enabling OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to deliver best-in-class acoustic quality and structural integrity, especially in the rapidly evolving EV space. My expertise bridges NVH measurements, modal testing, and perceptual sound optimization, using a combination of hands-on data collection, in-depth structural diagnostics, and increasingly AI-supported signal interpretation. I specialize in EMA and transfer path analysis for powertrain, body, chassis, and EV component development — validating structural dynamics and guiding design teams toward quiet, efficient, and emotionally engaging vehicles. Currently working in Germany, I bring cross-functional leadership across test, validation, and AI-supported signal analysis, along with professional fluency in French, Italian, Romanian, and English. While based in a German-speaking environment, I operate effectively in multinational teams and am continuing to develop my German. Key Skills & Focus Areas: NVH measurement & troubleshooting for EV and ICE platforms EMA, ODS, FRF testing, and transfer path analysis (TPA) Psychoacoustics, subjective-objective alignment & perceptual KPI tuning Signal processing & early AI/NVH integration NVH measurement (e-motor, inverter, gearbox, trim) Drive physical NVH/EMA excellence in EV or lightweight platforms Integrate AI and advanced analytics into vibro-acoustic validation Innovate at the intersection of sound, structure, and perception
