Simulation Engineer | Noise & Vibration

DESCRIPTION

An N&V Simulation Engineer on the Noise & Vibration team will analyze dynamic and acoustic behaviors from components to product. This person will also perform tests and/or work with test engineers on experimental/simulation correlation study and design solutions for related products to meet noise and vibration specifications. Root-cause identification of issues during product development along with improvement suggestions at all phases will be vital.

A large part of this role involves educating multi-functional teams in your own area of expertise, to implement known standard methodologies and suggest DOEs for performance improvement. Our team needs to works closely with multi-functional teams across Apple in problem-solving.

Most of our engineers have advanced degrees in Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent field, but if you’ve followed a different path to expertise in acoustics, vibration, noise control, we still want to hear from you. Strong background in structural dynamics, with 2+ years of experience in the noise/vibration field. A creative problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced multi-tasking environment. A lover of learning new tools and software packages when needed.

Extensive experience with simulation packages, such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, Virtual-Lab, COMSOL, Maxwell. Experience in coupled structural dynamics, acoustics simulation. Experience in product noise & vibration root cause identification. Some experience in non-linear systems, including material and geometry non-linearity. Some experience in developing tools for post-processing of simulation or experimental results. While not required, it is a plus if you have simulation experience in electro-magnetics, or statistical energy analysis.
