Vibroacoustic Engineer

We are seeking a skilled Vibroacoustic Engineer to join our team at Alstom, a global leader in transportation systems. The successful candidate will participate in project development through the application of internal procedures, including Vibroacoustic management of projects, standard Vibroacoustic simulation, and measurements of Rolling Stock and Components.

In the context of Product Engineering development, the Vibroacoustic Engineer will be responsible for the development of methodologies and technologies related to Vibroacoustics of Rolling Stock and Components. This includes management of resources and budget, respecting the quality, cost, and delay of R&D deliverables.

The ideal candidate will have an engineering degree with specialization in Vibroacoustics, acoustics, vibration, and more than 5 years of experience in a Vibroacoustic department in the automotive, aeronautics, railway, or building sector. Proficiency in Matlab and MS Excel is required, with advanced level in Matlab for R&D missions. The candidate should also have experience in Vibroacoustic testing and postprocessing with multichannel systems, including noise & vibration measurements in operating conditions and Vibroacoustic transfer functions.

The successful candidate will be responsible for leading and managing R&D actions in the context of product improvement and/or methodologies for Vibroacoustics for Rolling Stock. This includes management of resources and budget, respecting the quality, cost, and delay of R&D deliverables.

The ideal candidate will have good communication skills and advanced level in English, with French as a mandatory language. The candidate should also have experience in managing R&D actions with a transversal approach.

Responsibilities:

• To apply the Vibroacoustic Engineering Instructions and guidelines to perform the project/offers tasks
• To perform the Vibroacoustic analysis of tenders by comparison with referent solutions and previous projects
• To Prepare the Vibroacoustic specifications and Vibroacoustic Management Plan (VAMP) to be applied in projects
• To choose the most efficient way to perform the allocation (experimental/numerical), verification, and validation during tender and project phase
• To allocate the different noise sources and train assemblies through the use of AT standard methodologies.
• To perform standard Vibroacoustics tests, to postprocess the data, and report to validate prediction models and type tests
• To perform standard Vibroacoustic simulations for exterior noise and interior noise using inhouse developed tools
• To liaise with the Acoustic Chief Engineer to validate Management Plan, allocations, and risks.
• To liaise with experts in key domains to obtain the necessary data to perform the allocation
• To liaise with acoustic engineers in other sites and to use AT Vibroacoustic databases to obtain the necessary REX to perform the allocations
• To capture the Vibroacoustic REX of projects through the use of AT Vibroacoustic databases

R&D main missions:

• To lead and manage R&D actions in the context of product improvement and/or methodologies for Vibroacoustics for Rolling Stock. This includes management of resources and budget respecting the quality, cost, and delay of R&D deliverables.
• To develop innovative methodologies to be applied as a standard in the design process of rolling stock.

Knowledge & Experience:

• Engineering degree with specialization in Vibroacoustics, acoustics, vibration
• More than 5 years of experience in a Vibroacoustic department in automotive/aeronautics/railway/building sector
• Matlab standard level, MS Excel advanced level (if working in R&D Matlab advanced level is required)
• Vibroacoustic testing and postprocessing with multichannel systems (B&K Pulse/LMS TestLab or similar) including noise & vibration measurements in operating conditions and Vibroacoustic transfer functions (mobility, pressure/force,...).
• For R&D missions, management skills to lead R&D actions with a transversal approach will be needed
• Good communication skills
• English conversational/writing/reading advanced level is preferred.
• French conversational/reading advanced level is mandatory.
