Gosport Hampshire, United Kingdom Physics World Full time

QinetiQ is growing – and it is a great time to be part of the community. You will probably have experience in Acoustics, Noise, Vibration, or Experimental Fluid Dynamics, but you may come from a background of Physics, Applied Mathematics, Measurement Engineering or Marine Engineering/Naval Architecture, but with a depth of knowledge about how to acoustics is applied in marine propulsion.
You will be part of a business that was named the Most Admired Aerospace & Defence Company in the Britain’s Most Admired Companies 2021 study. With our Adaptive approach, you will enjoy the work-life balance that suits you best, thanks to remote, hybrid and flexible working practices; but please bear in mind that, because of the nature of our business, fully remote working will not be an option.
Our team of Applied Acoustic Physicists are responsible for developing and maintaining predictive numerical tools that can predict the acoustic signature performance of marine propulsion systems. To do this we use a variety of computational tools including Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) type tools and general mathematical coding tools such as MATLAB. We develop and validate our prediction tools by undertaking a range of experimental measurements, usually at model scale, in unique hydroacoustic and hydrodynamic test facilities, which include cavitation tunnels and acoustic tanks. With these systems we gather measurement data with which to test and develop numerical prediction models. We then apply our models to full-scale platform designs and compare their performance against measurements from range measurements of real-life platforms. Acoustic noise and vibration measurements in air and water with transducers
Signal processing including acoustic source imaging and modal analysis
Acoustic data analysis and presentation
We recruit from a range of academic and professional backgrounds and if you have qualifications or experience in Science, Mathematics, Acoustical Engineering we would love to speak with you. You will be offered the opportunities to develop your depth and breadth of expertise and experience and set you on the path for advancement.
Opportunities for mid-career Hydroacoustic Engineers and Scientists
Whatever your specialism or background, you can expect ongoing development to help you excel and advance. This includes expert training and mentoring, with increased emphasis on self-development and on-the-job training.

As a senior Applied Acoustic Physicist, you will already be a respected member of the acoustics community and can expect further specialist development (which may include conference attendance and paper presentation, for example), and targeted mentoring to develop specific technical skills. If you have senior management potential, we shall spot and nurture it. However, to progress to more senior roles, you’ll need to be an active member of an appropriate professional body.
Our blended approach to learning means you will have access to formal training, mentoring, assisted self-development, and on the job training.
Excel, and your potential will be spotted. Our continuing professional development covers all career stages and levels of seniority.
We support adaptive and flexible working although as a member of our Hydroacoustic team you will need to attend our Gosport site most working days and possibly deploy to trials sites in the UK or abroad on an occasional basis.
The application domain is predominantly military naval platforms, but sometimes includes commercial maritime projects.
Our rigorous independent thinking helps our customers achieve their goals.
Customers around the world rely on the drive and dedication of our people to help them meet their goals – often in environments where there is no second chance for failure.
By licensing our intellectual property, we reduce implementation and sales risk, and speed up time-to-market by using third party sales channels.
