Vibro Acoustics and Vibration Engineer

Vibro-Acoustics or Noise and Vibration Engineer

Location: South of France (Aix-en-Provence region)

Industry: Defence / Nuclear Engineering / Marine Propulsion Systems / High-Reliability Engineering

The Role

We are seeking a Vibro-Acoustics Engineer to join a specialist engineering team working on complex, safety-critical propulsion and energy systems.

This role focuses on the analysis, coordination, and management of noise and vibration engineering activities across large-scale technical programmes. You will act as a key technical interface between design engineering, test activities, and project delivery teams.

The position combines engineering analysis, documentation, and project-level technical coordination, with exposure to both design-phase work and real-world system validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate vibro-acoustic and vibration engineering studies across multi-disciplinary projects
• Act as the technical interface between engineering teams and project stakeholders
• Lead and contribute to technical documentation required for qualification, testing, installation, and commissioning phases
• Support deployment and execution of technical documentation on operational sites
• Monitor and report on technical progress, including cost, quality, planning, and engineering performance
• Contribute to both analytical engineering work and on-site testing/validation activities
• Collaborate with test teams during experimental and operational phases of complex systems
• Support system-level vibration and acoustic performance assessment in high-reliability environments

Requirements (your profile)

• Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline
• Specialisation or strong background in vibro-acoustics, vibration analysis, or physical measurements
• Minimum 5 years’ professional experience in a relevant engineering environment
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured engineering approach
• Ability to produce clear, high-quality technical documentation
• Strong communication skills and ability to interface across engineering and project teams
• Experience working in regulated, safety-critical, or high-complexity engineering environments
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple technical workstreams

Preferred (Nice to have)

• Experience in nuclear, defence, marine propulsion, or other high-integrity engineering sectors
• Exposure to operational support, maintenance engineering, or system lifecycle engineering
• Experience working with test rigs, experimental setups, or field measurement campaigns
• Familiarity with large-scale industrial engineering programmes
• Willingness to support site-based activities and technical deployments
• Previous experience working within highly regulated or security-controlled environments

What’s on Offer

• Highly technical engineering role with real impact on complex, mission-critical systems
• Exposure to both design engineering and operational/test environments
• Structured career development and technical training pathways
• Strong focus on engineering excellence and multidisciplinary collaboration
• Competitive compensation package with performance-related elements
• Long-term stability within a highly established engineering environment
• Comprehensive benefits package including pension, insurance, and employee support schemes
• Flexible working arrangements supporting work-life balance
• Opportunities to contribute to large-scale, high-profile engineering programmes
• Secure and structured working environment with strong governance and safety culture
