About this role
- Circular and industrial construction - - Integrated combat capabilities - - Safe and efficient mobility You will be involved in technology that truly matters, in sectors such as government, industry and the navy. Within the Defence, Safety & Security unit, we will focus in the coming years on accelerating our move towards the manufacturing industry, in order to make acoustic sensor and measurement technology more broadly applicable. You will lead the Acoustic Signatures and Noise Control department: a team of bright minds working on this advanced technology. You will make sure they are able to do their work well. Will you make your mark on our time at TNO? Within the Acoustic Signatures and Noise Control department, everything revolves around sound: how it propagates through the environment, how it is perceived and what effects it has on people, equipment and the environment. Our expertise is essential for both defence and civil applications. That is why we develop knowledge and technology to determine and influence the acoustic visibility of platforms, systems and operations. At the same time, we also use sound as a means to detect objects, vessels and activities. In this way, we work on solutions that contribute to the operational effectiveness and safety of Defence. In addition, we focus on the impact of sound on the living environment. Noise nuisance and underwater sound are playing an increasingly important role in permitting, environmental policy and societal acceptance. We investigate the effects of sound on people and nature and develop methods to comply with laws and regulations. The applications are diverse: from predicting the audibility of ships and military systems, analysing detectability by sonar systems and developing measures to influence this, to research into the effects of sound from shipping, construction activities, road and rail traffic, industry and Defence activities at firing ranges and air bases....
