About us: Accuris, a company long-known for accelerating innovation in engineering workflows and supporting the vibrancy of the engineering community, launched in May 2023 as a standalone company. Accuris was formerly known as S&P Global's Engineering Solutions division. The Company is valued for its standards content and workflow solutions like Engineering Workbench, Goldfire, Haystack and Parts Management Solutions.
Under its previous owners, including S&P Global, IHS and IHS Markit, Accuris has been an integral part of the engineering ecosystem for more than 60 years.
Over the past 80 years, the Engineering Sciences Data Unit (ESDU) has researched, developed and published a large collection of design and calculation documents (known as Data Items) and software covering a number of engineering disciplines, but mostly within the aerospace sector. The current vacancy lies within the Aircraft Noise, Vibration and Acoustic Fatigue Group, whose work is guided and monitored by technical committees consisting of independent experts from industry, research and academia. Items are issued only after approval by the relevant committee.
The work of ESDU lies somewhere between research and design, with the requirement that the final documents must serve the needs of practicing engineers. Engineers at ESDU get the rare opportunity to investigate a whole range of different design problems in great depth. The work does not include experimental research as a rule, but does require them to seek out all the available literature on a particular subject, understand it and then interpret it for use in the design process. The final product may be data, a method with or without a computer program, or some combination of these. The work is therefore both interesting and rewarding.
Requirements:
Educational Qualification: You must have at least a good honours degree in acoustics, aeronautical engineering, or a closely related discipline. A higher degree is also acceptable.
Relevant Experience: Experience in an industrial or research organisation related to the field is essential.
Technical Skills:
- Familiarity with the use and interpretation of test data.
- Experience in applying and developing theoretical, semi-empirical, and empirical techniques.
Software Knowledge: Knowledge of Fortran and/or MATLAB is desirable.
Communication Skills: Proficiency in both spoken and written English is necessary for effectively disseminating technical information.
Collaborative Skills: Ability to work well with individuals and groups, especially those outside the organisation, such as independent committees in the field of vibration and acoustic fatigue.
Responsibilities:
Data Maintenance and Expansion:
- Take overall responsibility for maintaining and expanding the Data Items and software in the Vibration and Acoustic Fatigue (VAF) Series.
Preparation of Presentation Papers:
- Prepare papers to be presented to the VAF committee to obtain consensus for publication.
Professional Interaction:
- Engage with the VAF committee in a professional manner to discuss and present findings or updates.
Guidance on Future Data Items:
- Collaborate with the committee to receive guidance on future Data Items for inclusion in the VAF Series.
