In this role, you will act as the key Subject Matter Expert (SME) for sound control across mission-critical infrastructure. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to guide site design, evaluate regulatory impacts and manage acoustic risks. A strong understanding of large-scale facilities, sound-generating equipment (such as generators and cooling systems), and rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) cost estimating is essential., * Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Acoustics, Physics or related field. * 7+ years of experience in acoustic modeling. * Strong understanding of sound-attenuation and mitigation systems for large-scale cooling and diesel generator equipment. * Knowledgeable in the compliance requirements of the pertinent codes, regulations, and standards. * Familiarity with CadnaA or SoundPLAN., * 10+ years of professional acoustic consulting or engineering experience. * Experience with mission-critical facilities. * Experience with large-scale, multi-source campus modeling. * Expertise in CadnaA or SoundPLAN. ## Description * Site Selection & Due Diligence: Participate in Due Diligence and Campus Planning sessions as the acoustic SME. Guide site selection, site design, and equipment layout to minimize environmental noise impacts. * Acoustic Review & Risk Mitigation: Evaluate consultant-led noise models and reports to ensure strict compliance with local zoning laws and global standard requirements. Proactively identify high-risk sites and recommend mitigation strategies. * Standards & Product Development: Design and refine standard sound attenuation products for the Owner portfolio. Help develop and maintain program documentation, including modeling standards (gPOR), vendor requirements, and public policy guidelines. * Design & Layout Support: Guide Test Fit and Site Plan development. Deliver technical guidance on sound contours, sensitive receptor locations, mitigation costs/schedules, and the acoustic footprint of cooling systems. ## Related Videos - [Humanizing Your Documentation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/476-humanizing-your-documentation) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [The Neuro-Architecture of Productivity: How Work Environments Impact Cognitive Performance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1122-the-neuro-architecture-of-productivity-how-work-environments-impact-cognitive-performance) - [How to build a sovereign European AI compute infrastructure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1102-how-to-build-a-sovereign-european-ai-compute-infrastructure) - [Why Is Software Documentation Still Static – And Why Modern Browsers Deserve Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2054-why-is-software-documentation-still-static-and-why-modern-browsers-deserve-better) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [How Engineering Hubs Build Visibility at Developer Conferences like WeAreDevelopers World Congress](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/720-how-engineering-hubs-build-visibility-at-developer-conferences-like-wearedevelopers-world-congress) - [5 Reasons Why Attending Conferences in 2026 Matters More Than You Think](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/692-5-reasons-why-attending-conferences-in-2026-matters-more-than-you-think) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
