Job summary

Fluidstack in Seattle is seeking an experienced acoustics engineer to join the Civil, Structural and Architectural Team. You will own acoustic studies, run environmental and occupational noise calculations for data-center templates, and help shape site noise strategies.

The role requires hands-on expertise in industrial noise control, power-generation facilities, and a readiness to collaborate across mechanical, electrical and architectural disciplines to ensure compliance with local noise

Qualifications

5+ years of acoustics or noise control engineering on industrial, power generation, or mission-critical facilities.

Responsibilities

Own the acoustic studies. Run environmental and occupational noise studies and calculations for the template data center and power generation designs, and keep them current as the templates change.
Model the sites. Build and maintain outdoor sound propagation models for each template and adapt them to candidate sites, terrain, and local ordinances.
Recommend the mitigations. Specify barriers, silencers, acoustic enclosures, louvers, and equipment selections that bring sites within limits, with the cost and schedule case for each.
Work across engineering. Bring noise requirements into the mechanical, electrical, power generation, and architectural designs early, and review their equipment selections and layouts for acoustic impact.
Protect the workforce. Set occupational noise exposure limits for plant and yard work areas, define hearing conservation zones, and verify them at commissioning.
