Acoustical Mechanical Engineer – Noise Control & NVH Design
We are a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy celebrated for turning disruptive ideas into market-ready products. Our culture prizes curiosity, evidence-based design, and transparent communication. You will join a cohort of mechanical, electrical, and civil specialists—each committed to delivering quieter, safer, and more sustainable technology.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform acoustic and vibration root-cause analyses for rotating equipment, HVAC units, drivetrains, and industrial machinery.
- Build predictive models in VA One (or comparable FEA/BEM suites) to forecast SPL, vibration spectra, and aeroacoustic flow.
- Design custom silencers, resonators, baffles, and composite barriers that meet OSHA and ISO noise directives.
- Conduct experimental testing in hemi- and full anechoic chambers, verifying simulation outputs within 3 dB accuracy.
- Generate concise technical reports—translating spectrograms and octave-band data into actionable design guidance.
- Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams (structural, thermal, fluid) through Agile sprints to integrate noise mitigation early in product lifecycles.
- Advise architects on mechanical-room layout, duct isolation, and acoustic glazing to achieve LEED sound credits.
- Mentor junior engineers on microphone array techniques, order tracking, and psychoacoustic metrics.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics, or closely related discipline.
- 5+ years hands-on NVH or noise-control engineering in automotive, aerospace, or consumer products.
- Proficiency with VA One, LMS Test.Lab, MATLAB, and acoustic cameras.
- Solid grasp of vibration analysis, aeroacoustics, and materials science for sound absorption.
- Demonstrated ability to write engineering documents for executive and non-technical audiences.
- U.S. work authorization; ability to collaborate effectively across remote teams and time zones.
Preferred Extras
- PE licensure in Mechanical or Acoustical Engineering.
- Experience with CFD-coupled aeroacoustic solvers (Fluent, OpenFOAM).
- Familiarity with ANSI S12 standards and FAA/Ford noise regulations.
- Background in additive manufacturing of resonant components.
