Acoustic Systems Engineer

n (DVP&R).

• Acoustics Performance Evaluation: Collaborates with Product Development, Validation, Design, and Functional Discipline teams to evaluate acoustics performance parameters such as sound power, pressure, transmission, structure-borne noise, and natural frequencies. Provides design recommendations to optimize these parameters.

• Decision-Making and Problem Ownership: Resolves moderately complex issues independently, with technical ambiguity and complexity increasing as experience grows. May coordinate work among technicians or student employees when necessary.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Contributes to team goals and provides expertise on noise, acoustics, and digital signal processing, leveraging analysis and test data to support acoustic performance decisions.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Experience:

• Preferred: 5-6 years in acoustic simulation and measurement.Experience in System Dynamics and Multi-body dynamics is advantageous.

Tool Knowledge:

• Proficiency with tools such as ANSYS, SimCenter 3D, SimLab, and AVL Excite Acoustics.

• Familiarity with MS Office, Matlab, LabVIEW, nCode, Siemens Test.Lab, and Windows operating systems.

Core Competencies:

• Applies Principles of Noise and Acoustics: Skilled in assessing acoustic behavior through numerical modeling and physical measurements; evaluates noise levels, sound quality, flexible body motion, and natural frequencies to guide design decisions.

• Applies Principles of Statistical Methods: Uses statistical analysis methods for rigorous data-driven decision-making, including probability distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and regression.

• Function-Based Product Testing: Selects equipment and techniques for operational testing in alignment with product verification plans, ensuring data quality and validity to meet engineering requirements.

• Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis: Employs computational tools to predict the functional capabilities of products, influencing design decisions at the system, subsystem, and component levels.

• Problem-Solving: Applies structured approaches to address product issues, using data-based solutions and systemic root cause analysis to enhance product reliability.

• Collaboration and Communication: Builds effective partnerships and communicates across teams to align on shared objectives, ensuring clarity and understanding of acoustic engineering goals.

Behavioral Competencies:

• Decision Quality: Makes timely, high-quality decisions that support organizational progress and objectives.

• Drives Results: Maintains consistent performance and results, even in challenging circumstances.

• Self-Development: Continuously seeks opportunities for growth and development, both formally and informally.

• Values Differences: Appreciates and leverages diverse perspectives to strengthen team effectiveness.

• Systems Thinking: Uses a holistic view to understand system linkages, predict behaviors, and design modifications to achieve desired outcomes.

• Technical Documentation: Accurately documents and communicates technical information to stakeholders to enhance knowledge sharing and productivity.

Additional Experience:

• Experience in an internship, co-op, or early career position within a relevant technical field is beneficial, ideally with exposure to acoustic systems and simulation environments.

QUALIFICATIONS

Qualifications:

• Required: Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Product Engineering.
