Overview NV & Driveability team develops vehicle sound experiences for the European market, focusing on NVH and driving enjoyment. This internship explores how sound can enhance emotional driving in electric vehicles. You will help design and evaluate soundscapes using recordings, DAWs, and simulations, linking sound to perception. Tasks include sound modeling, jury testing, and data analysis. You’ll work in a multidisciplinary environment, combining engineering, acoustics, and creativity to shape future in-car sound experiences.
Role In this internship, you will contribute to shaping the soundscape of future electric vehicles. This role includes creating an infrastructure for immersive sound evaluation, auralizing soundscapes, and evaluating sound aspects in a realistic environment.
Support the creation of holistic vehicle sound models, based on modification of existing vehicle sound recordings and study of sound concepts, to establish links between sound and motion perception / emotional driving experience.
Support the implementation & evaluation of these sound models using state-of-the-art jury testing methods and draw conclusions from a statistical evaluation of the results.
Ensure the auralization of the sounds in a holistic (driving simulator) environment, and support actual in-vehicle implementation and playback of active sounds and extended soundscape.
