An Acoustic Engineer specializes in the study and application of sound and vibration. They design and implement solutions to control noise in various environments, such as buildings, vehicles, and industrial spaces. Their work includes improving sound quality in auditoriums, reducing noise pollution, and developing audio technologies. Acoustic Engineers use advanced tools and simulations to analyze and optimize acoustic performance in different settings.
To thrive as an Acoustic Engineer, you need a solid background in physics, mathematics, and audio technology, usually backed by a degree in acoustics, engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with acoustic modeling software (such as EASE or MATLAB), sound level meters, and industry certifications like Institute of Acoustics (IOA) membership is often required. Strong problem-solving skills, teamwork, and effective communication enable successful collaboration with architects, designers, and project stakeholders. These competencies are crucial to designing sound solutions that meet technical standards and client expectations across various acoustic environments.
Acoustic Engineers frequently contribute to a wide variety of projects, such as designing concert halls, improving sound insulation in buildings, or reducing noise pollution in industrial settings. They often collaborate closely with architects, construction managers, product designers, and environmental consultants to achieve optimal acoustic outcomes for each project. Depending on the employer, you may work as part of a specialized acoustics team or within a multidisciplinary engineering group. This diverse project exposure not only builds technical expertise but also opens pathways to senior engineering roles or project management positions as your experience grows.

The Leonardo DRS Naval Power Systems business is a trusted provider of innovative naval gas and hybrid power systems, control technology and support solutions for the U.S. Navy and navies around the world.
DRS NPS has an immediate need for an Acoustic Engineer who will be a subject matter expert on the acoustic design and analysis of high performance rotating equipment and associated static structures. You will provide direct contributions to acoustic design performance considerations for multiple product lines including Steam Turbines, large Electric Motors, Integral Blowers / Compressors and other propulsion system components.
The ideal candidate is an individual possessing strong mechanical engineering technical skills, a superior knowledge of airborne and structure-borne acoustic analysis, and an understanding of the design considerations for large rotating equipment.
You are expected to work independently or collaboratively as part of an integrated project team, using judgment and discretion in making complex decisions. You will act as a SME and mentor to more junior colleagues.
You will execute acoustic analysis on large rotating assemblies, including:
Structure Borne Noise
Airborne Noise
Narrow Band and Octave Analysis
Transmission Paths
Mitigation Methods
Modeling Tools will include:
Critical to success in the role is the ability to breakdown complicated technical challenges and find innovative solutions that meet the program's requirements without adding unnecessary weight, cost, or risk. You will need the ability to clearly document and communicate, orally and in writing, technical and programmatic information to technical and non-technical individuals including the team, project leadership, and to other functions including executive management. As part of regular activities, this role will have customer interaction where you will confidently and competently represent DRS in front of customers, including the US Navy.
You will review, analyze, and status project milestones and provide accurate estimates to complete projects or analyses.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor of Science degree from a 4-year accredited college or university in Mechanical Engineering or other suitable degree with a minimum of 2 years of experience in evaluating acoustic performance of turbo machinery assemblies, large rotating machinery assemblies (e.g., motors and or generators) or similar components.
Ability to perform Finite Element and Statistical Energy Analyses
Experience in execution of acoustic testing and model validation, including sound intensity, modal analysis, and data acquisition with instrumentation such as accelerometers, microphones, and strain gauges.
Prior hands-on experience to be able to evaluate model and physical test data to recognize good vs bad data, forced vs. resonant behavior, background vs. operational noise, etc.
Experience in the analysis of acoustic sources generated by flow-induced compressible fluids including preceding elements
Experience with the MATLAB for data analysis and modeling and/or programming to create application specific analysis tools
You must be a US citizen and be able to pass screening for a security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with the development of rotating machinery and associated manufacturing drawings.
Familiarity with data acquisition systems for acoustic testing and digital signal processing
Prior experience with data post processing, optimization and analysis
Practical knowledge and application of statistical analysis methods
Knowledge of MIL-STD- 740-1, and -2, MIL-STD-1474.
Familiarity with Computer Aided Design (CAD) Tools (Siemens NX and/or Solidworks preferred).
Experience with Program Management tools (MS Project preferred) and/or agile Project Management tools- (Jira preferred).
Experience with execution of projects for the US military.
Active security clearance.
