Description

Role Overview We are looking for an experienced and dedicated Vibration Engineer to join our team in developing cutting-edge eVTOL aircraft. In this role, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the structural integrity, reliability, and certification readiness of systems installed across the entire aircraft, as well as contribute significantly to passenger comfort. Your primary responsibility will be to design and drive vibration testing of airborne equipment to completion, to analyze vibration test data, and to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure that all airborne equipment is robust enough to withstand the expected vibration levels on the aircraft for the expected life with a sufficient margin of safety. In addition, you will be responsible for determining the appropriate testing criteria for operational shock and crash safety, analyzing operational shock and crash safety test reports, and ensuring that all airborne equipment does not fail critically in the event of a shock or crash. Key Responsibilities Define, tailor, and validate the criteria for the vibration testing of airborne equipment Collaborate with suppliers of airborne equipment and other stakeholders on vibration environment qualification testing Analyze and interpret vibration test data to determine the vibration tolerance of airborne equipment Provide guidance on design modifications needed to reduce the effects of the aircraft vibration environment on airborne equipment, as needed. Serve as the subject matter expert on vibration modelling, testing, and data analysis, providing guidance to cross-functional teams during the design and development process. Ensure vibration requirements are integrated into the overall vehicle development cycle. Job Highlights Be part of a dynamic team shaping the future of sustainable urban aviation. Work closely with leading experts in eVTOL technology, structural dynamics, and vibration engineering. Contribute to the development of quieter, environmentally friendly aircraft. Essential Skills 5+ years of experience in vibration engineering. Strong understanding of vibration physics fundamentals and structural dynamics. Detailed knowledge of vibration environment qualification standards, such as DO-160 Section 8, MIL-STD-810 Method 514, etc. Detailed knowledge of operational shock and crash safety qualification standards, such as DO-160 Section 7, MIL-STD-810 Method 516, etc. Practical experience in vibration testing, including impact hammer testing, vibration surveys, accelerometer/instrumentation selection and setup, and shaker table testing. Desirable Experience working on eVTOL or Urban Air Mobility (UAM) projects. Experience with vibration modelling/FEA. Familiarity with modal analysis and flutter analysis. Familiarity with vibration mitigation techniques and strategies. Fundamental knowledge of vibration digital signals processing, including how to set FFT parameters, amplitude and phase analysis for vibration data, etc. Tool familiarity: MATLAB, Python, LMS (Test.Lab or similar), NASTRAN (or equivalent), analysis suites built for specific data acquisition systems and specialized vibration hardware (e.g. ArtemiS SUITE by HEAD Acoustics for impact hammer testing). Experience with acoustic modelling or testing. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Acoustics, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline. Skills for Collaborative Success Ability to be creative and resourceful when solving technical challenges. Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills. Excellent communication and negotiation skills, and the ability to collaborate with diverse teams and stakeholders across disciplines. Adaptability and drive to work independently in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Adaptability to work at multiple locations as needed.
