• Writing and maintaining test procedures and working with supplier application engineers to coordinate training and technical support.
• Support physical data collection for correlation and validation in full-scale aeroacoustic wind tunnels (overseas), test track and other facilities including anechoic chambers
• Support vehicle programme development by running CFD analyses and when required, supporting and wind tunnel tests, and issue resolution in the prototype and production vehicle phases.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

As the Aeroacoustics Methods Development Engineer you will have experience of working within Aeroacoustics, Aerodynamics or NVH. You will have experience of NVH/ acoustics simulation tools. You will need to hold a formal qualification within a technical discipline such as Degree/ HND/ or time served apprenticeship.
