Acoustic Analyst Level 2/3

Northrop Grumman Northrop Grumman · Aerospace · Annapolis, MD +1 · Mechanical

This role involves analyzing machinery acoustics using classical and simulation techniques, developing predictive models, performing various types of analyses (modal, vibration, frequency response, sound transmission), and correlating model predictions with test data. The focus is on understanding and resolving issues related to machinery performance.

What you'd actually do

  1. Use classical analysis techniques to establish an understanding of machinery acoustic performance and resolve issues.
  2. Develop a variety of component and system level predictive / simulation models.
  3. Perform modal, vibration, modal, direct frequency response, and sound transmission analyses to predict performance and resolve issues.
  4. Gather data from tests, and analyze the results.
  5. Correlate model predictions to test data to validate the approach / model.
