Unique Skills:Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), designs, develops, manufactures, markets, services and supports the world's most technologically advanced business-jet aircraft. Gulfstream has produced more than 3,000 aircraft for customers around the world since 1958. Gulfstream consistently invests in the future, dedicating resources to researching and developing innovative new aircraft, technologies, and services. With a fleet that includes the super-midsize Gulfstream G280, the high-performing Gulfstream G650 and Gulfstream G650ER, and a next-generation family of aircraft including the all-new Gulfstream G400, the award-winning Gulfstream G500 and Gulfstream G600, the flagship Gulfstream G700 and the ultralong-range Gulfstream G800, Gulfstream offers an aircraft for every missionWe are seeking an acoustics engineer with a background in statistical energy analysis (SEA) modeling, finite element, and boundary element modeling with application to aircraft interior cabin noise predictions. The acoustics engineer must have a working knowledge of noise generation mechanisms, structural acoustics, sound transmission and propagation, acoustic absorption and damping, isolation mechanisms, etc. The acoustics engineer will work closely with various internal groups to guide interior cabin design from a noise perspective. Detailed acoustic predictions will be used for design trade studies of the cabin, cockpit, and other areas inside Gulfstream aircraft. Responsibilities- Develop SEA models to predict interior cabin acoustic and vibration levels
- Coordinate component level testing required to support model development
- Assist in design definition of the interior soundproofing package for Gulfstream Aircraft
- Research existing technologies or develop new approaches to optimize acoustic performance while minimizing weight
- Perform acoustic analyses (source data coming from either simulation or experiment) on aircraft systems and components, including building analysis tools and scripts
- Operate simulation tools, and/or advise others in the operation of those tools, that produce acoustics and vibration data
- Develop test plans for technology development and verification of design
- Perform acoustic trades studies to inform design decisions from an acoustic perspective
- Present detailed data and design recommendations based on findings
- Provide guidance to other engineering teams to reduce the noise impact of their system on interior cabin noise
- Travel may be required, up to 10%.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, or related field
- Experience with computational acoustic analysis techniques
- Experience with VA One, or similar, FEM, BEM and Ray Tracing, and Nastran modeling software packages
- Understanding of structural acoustics and noise control engineering practices
- Experience in validation of analysis results against other sources, such as test data, previously published literature, and theoretical source models
- Experience with testing standards, instrumentation, signal conditioning, verifying boundary & environmental conditions
- Experience with transmission loss testing of components, T60 measurements, sound intensity measurement, etc.
- Computer programming skills, with experience in MATLAB and Python
- Effective communication skills and collaborative mindset
- Experience with developing passenger cabin interior acoustic solutions
- Experience with 3D CAD software
- Experience making measurements in anechoic/hemi-anechoic chambers/tunnels including transmission loss testing (Acoustic Test Facility - ATF)
- Advanced degree in Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Acoustics, or related field
- Experience with modal testing and analysis of aircraft components
- Practical experience with coupled vibro-acoustic radiation problems
- Experience with prediction and measurement of interior cabin noise levels
- Knowledge of current state-of-the-art acoustic technologies and technologies under development
- Noise and vibration measurement and data acquisition skills, and fluent in associated data analysis methodology
- Experience with flight testing, cabin noise surveys, and FAA CFR 14 Part 36 certification
- Experience with RTCA DO-160 vibration criteria
