WORK HISTORY
Electric Drive Unit (Edu) Noise, Vibration and Harshness (Nvh) Engineer @JLR
Gaydon, GB
Conducted comprehensive NVH testing and analysis on Electric Drive Units (EDUs) using the test bench during End-of-Line Testing (EoLT), ensuring adherence with the vehicle target level.• Performed Modal Analysis to identify resonant frequencies and structural weaknesses, significantly improving system robustness and performance.• Conducted Operational Deflection Shape (ODS) analysis to visualize and optimize dynamic behaviour under real-world conditions.• Instrument vehicles and performed NVH data acquisition during track testing, ensuring accurate and reliable data collection to support engineering decisions and issue resolution.• Supported cross-functional NVH investigations of spline rumble and EDU click noise, contributing to vehicle-level NVH target achievement and meeting customer expectations• Supported investigation of knocking issues in EDUs during Key Life Testing (KLT) and low-speed testing, aiding effective issue resolution and enhancing vehicle-level NVH performance and reliability• Liaised with internal teams to ensure test requests were aligned with programme needs and project timelines.

ABOUT GOWTHAM SENTHIL KUMAR
Measurement and NVH Engineer with extensive experience in vehicle‑level measurement, Road Load Data (RLD) acquisition, durability testing, and electric powertrain (EDU) development within OEM and supplier environments. I specialise in translating real‑world vehicle behaviour into high‑quality, validated data that supports engineering decisions, virtual simulations, and durability sign‑off.Currently working at Jaguar Land Rover (Gaydon), supporting EDU NVH and vehicle measurement activities, including vehicle preparation, advanced instrumentation, track testing, data acquisition, and analysis aligned with Design Verification Plans (DVP) and End of Line Testing (EoLT). My work involves modal analysis, Operational Deflection Shape (ODS) analysis, and structured root‑cause investigations to improve robustness, performance, and reliability.I have strong hands‑on experience delivering end‑to‑end RLD programmes, including public‑road and proving‑ground testing across rough road, pave, potholes, and highway duty cycles. I am experienced in instrumenting vehicles using Wheel Force Transducers (WFTs), strain gauges, accelerometers, and GPS systems, and processing data using Simcenter Test.Lab and nCode to generate correlated inputs for 4‑poster and CAE durability models.A key strength of my profile is working within controlled RLD and measurement workshop governance environments, ensuring component identification, ownership, traceability, and compliance throughout the test lifecycle. I understand the importance of disciplined processes to protect data integrity, safety, and programme delivery.Across my career, I have supported durability, driveline, NVH, and vehicle behaviour studies, including clutch‑drop driveline testing, fatigue damage analysis using rainflow counting, and correlation of physical test data with MBS and FE models. I thrive in hands‑on roles that combine vehicle testing, data analysis, and process control, and I enjoy collaborating with NVH, durability, CAE, and validation teams to deliver robust engineering outcomes.Core areas:Vehicle Measurement • Road Load Data (RLD) • NVH Testing • Durability & Driveline Testing • Simcenter Test.Lab • nCode • 4‑Poster Correlation • Instrumentation & DAQ • Workshop Governance
