Your responsibilities :

Ever more stringent pass by noise regulations in combination with the recent emergence of EV mobility are creating continuous changing vehicle soundscapes & uncharted customer expectations. Future vehicles with reduced powertrain sounds can no longer sustain an appropriate level of informative & emotional feedback with humans out- & inside the vehicle, nor can they guarantee masking of unwanted interior noises. The need therefore rises for new (synthetic) sounds which can provide suitable acoustic feedback for different levels of human-vehicle interaction while maintaining a comfortable acoustic environment. With increasing application of ADAS, the vehicle soundscape will ever more contribute to vehicle safety e.g. by creating a continuous situational awareness for surrounding pedestrians & occupants or by notifying the need for control take-over from the vehicle.
In order to prepare the ideal future vehicle soundscape, your objective is to create neurological models for comfort perception & safety recognition, for acoustic stimuli in relation to other cognitive stimuli (vestibular, visual). By correlating acoustic KPI's with these models, you can propose & validate a soundscape in a specific case study.

We offer a dynamic and challenging multicultural work environment in which competence and quality play an important role. Enhancing personal growth and a real opportunity to invest in your future through on the job development and training. Where your effort, dedication and initiative are rewarded by a competitive and comprehensive compensation and benefits package.
