Job Description Summary

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Lead the definition, calculation and prediction of noise levels for key mechanical and electrical components, specifically gearbox, generator, transformer and fans.
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for component owners and external suppliers to ensure that noise requirements are understood, accepted and properly validated.
• Partner with the Acoustics Principal Engineer to establish and drive a technology roadmap aimed at leveraging innovative design changes to proactively reduce machinery noise in new GE Vernova wind platforms.
• Design and execute acoustic measurement campaigns in accordance with relevant standards (such as IEC 61400-11) to validate component and turbine noise levels.
• Develop, design and validate machinery noise mitigation solutions, including the application of acoustic foam and Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs).
• Provide technical expertise for fleet issue resolution, including root cause analysis of acoustic anomalies and the implementation of site-specific noise reduction retrofits.
• Serve as the team’s primary technical reference for acoustic measurement methodologies and fleet mitigation strategies. Act as a dedicated coach and mentor, fostering the technical growth of team members through hands-on training and knowledge sharing.
• Maintain design standards, calculation models and technical reports to support internal quality and regulatory compliance.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
• Significant experience in wind turbine acoustics or industrial machinery noise control (HVAC, rotating machinery, or heavy powertrain).
• Proficiency in acoustic measurement techniques, data acquisition and signal processing (e.g. FFT analysis, sound power level determination).
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally with design engineers, suppliers and site operations teams.
• Demonstrated success in managing technical mitigation projects, from design to field installation and validation.
• Fluent in spoken and written English.

Desired Characteristics

• Master's or PHD degree in Mechanical, Acoustics, Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
• Experience with GE Vernova wind turbine platforms or similar utility-scale wind technology.
• Knowledge of international wind turbine noise standards and environmental noise regulations.
• Experience using programming tools such as MATLAB or Python for automated data analysis and acoustic reporting.
• Solid oral and written communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal and leadership skills.
