Acoustic Product Development Engineer

We are hiring an Acoustic Product Development Engineer Home, Vacuum & Hydraulic Lifts

The ideal candidate will be responsible for improving the acoustic performance of our home lifts by minimizing operational noise and vibration, enhancing passenger comfort, and driving innovative product design, development, testing, and validation to achieve world-class ride quality.

Role & responsibilities

* Develop and implement acoustic solutions for home elevators, vacuum lifts, and hydraulic lift systems.

* Analyze and reduce operational noise generated by vacuum pumps, hydraulic power units, electric motors, guide mechanisms, doors, and ventilation systems.

* Design and optimize Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and passive noise control solutions where applicable.

* Conduct acoustic and vibration measurements during product development, prototype testing, and validation.

* Perform root cause analysis of noise and vibration issues and implement effective design improvements.

* Optimize component selection, mounting methods, damping materials, insulation, and structural design to reduce noise transmission.

* Work closely with mechanical, electrical, electronics, controls, and manufacturing teams throughout the product development lifecycle.

* Validate product performance through laboratory and field testing to meet customer expectations for quiet operation.

* Support new product development, engineering changes, and continuous product improvement initiatives.

* Prepare acoustic test reports, technical documentation, and engineering recommendations.

Required Skills:

* Strong knowledge of acoustics, noise control engineering, and NVH (noise, vibration & harshness).

* Experience in noise reduction techniques for electromechanical systems.

* Understanding of active noise cancellation (ANC) principles and practical applications.

* Experience with acoustic measurement equipment, sound level analysis, and vibration testing.

* Knowledge of electric motors, vacuum pumps, hydraulic systems, fans, and mechanical drive systems.

* Familiarity with MATLAB, Simulink, Python, or similar engineering analysis tools is preferred.

* Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and product development skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

* Bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering, acoustical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field.

* 5 to 10 years of experience in acoustic product development for residential elevators, vacuum lifts, hydraulic lifts, home appliances, HVAC, pumps, compressors, or similar electromechanical products.

* Experience in developing products with low-noise and high-comfort performance.
