What is vibration testing?

A Vibration Testing job involves assessing how products, components, or structures respond to mechanical vibrations. This process helps ensure durability, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. Professionals in this field use specialized equipment like vibration tables and accelerometers to simulate real-world conditions. They analyze data to identify potential weaknesses and improve product design. This role is common in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and electronics.

What does vibration testing involve?

Vibration Testing professionals are responsible for setting up and performing tests on machinery or components to measure and analyze vibration levels. A typical day may involve preparing test equipment, collecting and interpreting data, troubleshooting issues, and compiling detailed reports for engineering or maintenance teams. Collaboration is common, as you'll often work closely with design engineers, reliability specialists, or maintenance personnel to diagnose problems or validate product performance. Depending on the industry and company, you may conduct tests both in laboratory settings and in the field. This diverse workload offers hands-on technical experience and regular opportunities to develop expertise in advanced diagnostic technologies.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for vibration testing?

To thrive in Vibration Testing, you need a strong background in mechanical or electrical engineering, a solid understanding of vibration analysis, and hands-on experience performing vibration measurements. Familiarity with data acquisition systems, accelerometers, vibration analyzers, and certifications such as Certified Vibration Analyst (ISO or ASNT) are highly valuable. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate technical findings concisely will help you excel in this role. These skills ensure accurate data collection, effective troubleshooting, and clear reporting, all of which are crucial for equipment reliability and safety.

Job description

At Apple, new ideas have a way of quickly becoming extraordinary products, services and customer experiences. Sound is an essential and compelling facet of the customer experience - Apple has assembled a world-class Acoustics team that enables our customers to experience music with delight, communicate with clarity and appreciate our products without disturbance from noise. In Apple Acoustics we work with obsessive attention to detail, directly contributing to products that ship to millions of people around the world. Our Noise & Vibration team contributes to hardware design, validation, and troubleshooting to minimize distracting audible noises and optimize their sound quality. We are a diverse team of acoustics and vibration experts, accomplished listeners, and creative problem solvers. We work daily with multifunctional teams on innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges. We are looking for an N&V Testing Engineer to join our team.

Description

A N&V testing engineer on the Noise & Vibration team will test and analyze acoustic noise generating mechanisms and transmission path, to provide innovative and cost effective solutions to noise reduction. A large part of this role involves working with cross-functional teams, designing test setups, collecting critical data for failure analyses, and providing insight of the results with expert knowledge. You will also work closely with simulation engineers, providing expert analysis on simulation-test correlation and proposing improvements to modeling methodologies.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Background in structural dynamics, with minimum 2+ years of experience in the noise and vibration field.
  • Extensive hands-on experience in structural vibration testing design and execution.
  • Strong ability to interpret complex testing results to draw meaningful conclusions.
  • Experience in product noise & vibration root cause identification.
  • Experience in Matlab or other programming tools for analysis and post-processing.
  • Some experience in experimental modal analysis, transfer path analysis and sub-structure synthesis.
  • A creative problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced multi-tasking environment.
  • Phd in Mechanical Engineering, Audio/Acoustic Engineering, or equivalent.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Preferred but not required, LDV experience, history of high-volume consumer electronics, knowledge in electro-magnetics, multi-physics and structural simulation.
