Creative engineer = NVH engineer

The limit to solving problems with a piece of plastic is only your imagination. NVH engineer should be very creative.

🏖 33° C I set off with the children to the river. Daughter crying because the shoe is broken. I respond with a dinosaur text 🐱‍🐉 that in my time they walked on stones barefoot and that I walk on bare feet….
