Role description:

• Survey and identification of available COTS hardware for acoustic piezoelectric transducers and ICP/IEPE and/or MEMS accelerometers appropriate for given system requirements and constraints.
• Design of novel transducer and sensor mounting methods in CAD or similar for porting into numerical solver software (see below).
• Modelling the following using appropriate numerical solver software such as COMSOL, Ansys Mechanical, Simulia etc.
• Piezoelectric transducers.
• Propagation of structural vibrations.
• ICP/IEPE and/or MEMS accelerometers.

Validation of the models against real-world measured data would be undertaken along with assessment of the models shortcomings and implementation of subsequent improvements.

Required skill set:

• Background in Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics or related STEM field.
• Highly experienced in Finite Element Analysis and other appropriate numerical solvers.
• Specialism in appropriate mechanical solver software such as COMSOL, Ansys Mechanical, Simulia, etc.
• Knowledge of piezoelectric transducers and ICP/IEPE and MEMS accelerometers.
• Appreciation of communication systems would be beneficial.
• The ideal candidate would have demonstrable experience in the design and/or modelling of acoustic transducers and sensors using mechanical simulation software such as COMSOL.
