You will process and analyze data from CAE and measurements to recommend necessary design changes to meet requirements. You will participate in the development of improved or new methods and model capability. Some of your responsibilities will be to build up models, run simulations and report the results to the stakeholders. 

You and your skills
We see that you have a M.Sc. in mechanical engineering, technical acoustics, engineering physics or similar and that you have a good understanding of acoustics, aeroacoustics, or aerodynamics.

Your passion for -, and willingness to develop within CAE pre-processing tools (Exterior A-Class & Mechanical systems preparation), acoustic data acquisition basics and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) will make you successful in this role.

Previous experience with CFD commercial tools is considered as a plus. Beneficial is also academic projects and research in the field of aeroacoustics.

On a personal level, you are an outspoken and brave person known for your ability to synthesize data, transforming complex analysis into simple and effective recommendations.
