Job description

• 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.

Required Skills

• 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.
• 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.
