Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Fluidstack is hiring an Acoustics Engineer, Capacity Delivery to own acoustic studies for its data center and power generation designs. The role models site noise, recommends mitigation measures, coordinates acoustic requirements across engineering teams, protects workers from occupational noise, and supports permitting.

Responsibilities

• Own the acoustic studies. Run environmental and occupational noise studies and calculations for the template data center and power generation designs, and keep them current as the templates change
• Model the sites. Build and maintain outdoor sound propagation models for each template and adapt them to candidate sites, terrain, and local ordinances
• Recommend the mitigations. Specify barriers, silencers, acoustic enclosures, louvers, and equipment selections that bring sites within limits, with the cost and schedule case for each
• Work across engineering. Bring noise requirements into the mechanical, electrical, power generation, and architectural designs early, and review their equipment selections and layouts for acoustic impact
• Protect the workforce. Set occupational noise exposure limits for plant and yard work areas, define hearing conservation zones, and verify them at commissioning
• Support permitting. Produce the noise assessments, reports, and measurements that permitting and community engagement need, and answer the questions that come back

Skills

• 5+ years of acoustics or noise control engineering on industrial, power generation, or mission-critical facilities, with at least one project taken from study through permit and commissioning measurement
• Fluency in an outdoor sound propagation tool such as CadnaA or SoundPLAN and in the ISO 9613-2 method behind it
• Hands-on with environmental noise measurement, sound power and sound pressure data from equipment vendors, and octave-band calculations
• Working knowledge of occupational noise standards such as OSHA 1910.95 and the local noise ordinances that govern industrial sites
• You have specified barriers, silencers, and acoustic enclosures and seen them built and measured
• You explain acoustic trade-offs to mechanical and electrical engineers in their terms and hold the line on limits when a design review wants to spend them
• Data center or gas turbine plant noise experience
• Building acoustics or vibration isolation background
• Mechanical engineering or procurement experience
