We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Acoustic / DSP Engineer to join our engineering team. This is a specialist role focused on acoustic modelling, signal processing, and supporting the development of cutting-edge underwater systems. The successful candidate will work with a multidisciplinary team, contributing across test, analysis, modelling, and capability development.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and maintain acoustic models, initially using PAFEC software with the goal of progressing to VaOne Vibroacoustic modelling tools.
* Carry out technical reporting (both written and verbal) to clearly communicate complex analyses and ensure traceability of test and modelling activities.
* Process and interpret large experimental datasets using signal processing techniques, ideally with experience in MATLAB’s Signal Processing Toolbox.
* Collaborate with hardware teams and industry partners to design and conduct acoustic measurements in support of product development and validation.
* Track and report on technical progress and task budgets when acting as group lead on projects.
* Help maintain and grow the group’s technical infrastructure, supporting long-term capability development.
* Build subject matter expertise in underwater acoustics and DSP through mentorship from internal experts, with the aim of becoming a recognised specialist.
* Support cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders to develop and deliver a sustainable, forward-looking Test & Evaluation (T&E) capability combining real-world data and modelling.
* Establish strong working relationships with internal site managers to facilitate technical testing and analysis activities.
Skills and Experience
We’re looking for someone who brings a combination of technical expertise, innovation, and collaborative mindset:
Required:
* Strong background in acoustics, signal processing, or a related field.
* Experience in technical modelling and/or measurement in underwater or similar domains.
* Understanding of signal processing techniques and data analysis.
* Confident communicator able to engage with both technical and non-technical teams.
* Experience in delivering projects and developing technical capability.
* Familiarity with MOD security procedures (or willingness to obtain clearance).
* A proactive, innovative approach to solving problems and improving processes.
Desirable Software Knowledge:
* MatLab (especially Signal Processing Toolbox)
* Python
* LabView
* Creo (or other CAD tools)
* PAFEC
* Comsol
* VA One
* GlyphWorks
Candidates will need to be a sole British national, and ideally have SC Clearance - lapsed clearance is also fine.
