Acoustics & Vibration - Aerospace Professional Engineering

Job summary

Develop and use simulation models and tools to assess and optimize aircraft cabin acoustic comfort, and support engineering teams in resolving acoustics and vibration issues across aircraft programs. Plan and participate in laboratory, flight, and ground tests; analyze results, prepare technical reports, and recommend design or technology improvements.

Job details

In this role, you will be expected to: Collaborate with the Engineering Expert responsible for the numerical simulation and Lab measurements to support all programs activities requiring advanced simulation models and/or tests in Lab validations. Support your colleagues responsible for cabin acoustics on the Challenger and Global programs to resolve engineering-related cabin acoustics and vibration issues during production, delivery, or in service, ensuring Client’s high standards of acoustic and vibratory comfort are maintained. Collaborate with extended working groups (engineering, production) to support the integration of new developments (connectivity, interior, features, comfort, etc.) into these aircraft while ensuring cabin acoustic comfort meets Client’s high standards. Work with colleagues to propose, assess, and develop the tools and technologies that will be integrated into Client’s future aircraft. To achieve these objectives, you will be required to: Create simulation models (FE, SEA, ray tracing) to assess and optimize design choices leading to preserve or enhance cabin acoustic comfort, Develop simulation methods and tools to always push limits of models to answer needs of aircraft cabin acoustics development, Set-up and participate in test campaigns in BA Lab to validate design concepts and technologies, Plan and participate in flight and ground tests to quantify cabin acoustic comfort or characterize the vibratory environment in specific areas of the aircraft. Analyze test data, write technical reports, and communicate your conclusions and recommendations. How to thrive in this role? You hold a bachelor’s degree in engineering, complemented by a Master’s or Ph.D. in acoustics. You ideally have 3 to 8 years of relevant technical experience in the industry (transportation or construction, for example). You possess general knowledge in acoustics and vibrations, including modeling, measurement techniques, and signal processing. You have more advanced expertise in one of the following two areas: finite element methods (applied to structural dynamics and acoustics) or sound design in buildings or performance halls, ideally. You are recognized for fostering a healthy, ethical, and respectful work environment while promoting diversity and inclusion. You demonstrate the ability to plan your work according to long-term objectives and short-term priorities, and to manage multiple activities simultaneously. You have excellent communication skills, with the ability to adapt your approach to your audience and convey your messages confidently. You have a curious, critical, and innovative mindset that enables you to develop your knowledge and skills and be a source of new ideas. You are fluent in English; French is an asset.
