Noise Vibration and Harshness Engineer Level 4

Northrop Grumman Northrop Grumman · Aerospace · Sunnyvale, CA +1 · Mechanical

Noise Vibration and Harshness Engineer Level 4 at Northrop Grumman to support US Navy machinery development. Responsibilities include using classical analysis techniques, developing predictive/simulation models, performing various analyses (modal, vibration, sound transmission), gathering and analyzing test data, correlating model predictions to test data, and preparing technical reports. Requires a STEM Bachelor's degree with 8 years of experience or equivalent, experience with simulation software (Hypermesh, Nastran, Abaqus, MATLAB), US citizenship, and the ability to obtain a Secret Clearance.

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.
