Xi Engineering is recruiting engineers at Junior, Mid-Level and Senior level to join our growing engineering team in Edinburgh. We deliver specialist technical services in noise engineering, vibration analysis, acoustic assessment and dynamic system modelling across a diverse range of client projects in the UK and internationally.
Whether you are an early-career engineer looking to build your technical foundation, an experienced engineer ready to deliver independently, or a senior technical leader who can drive complex projects and mentor others, we want to hear from you.
We are open to hiring across all three seniority levels from a single application, and will match you to the right position based on your skills, experience and potential.
What You'll Be Doing
Depending on your level of experience, your day-to-day work will involve some or all of the following:
- Designing, executing and supporting noise, vibration and acoustic surveys and engineering assessments
- Performing mathematical analysis and technical interpretation of measurement and experimental data
- Developing, supporting or reviewing numerical models of dynamic systems, including structural vibration and fluid-structure interactions
- Planning and delivering measurement campaigns, including experimental data capture on site
- Post-processing, analysing and interpreting engineering data to inform design solutions
- Preparing technical reports, engineering presentations and client deliverables to a high professional standard
- Preparing data for input into finite element analysis (FEA) and related computational modelling
- Collaborating with modelling, commercial and operational teams to support project delivery
- Contributing to tenders, proposals and technical scope development for new engineering work
- Recommending practical vibration and acoustic mitigation solutions based on evidence and engineering judgement
- Supporting inventory management, hardware upkeep and equipment maintenance
At senior level, you will also take on technical leadership, client relationship management, mentoring of junior and mid-level engineers, and broader responsibility for project delivery outcomes.
What We're Looking For
We hire on capability, attitude and potential. Your qualifications matter less than your ability to do the work. We welcome applications from candidates with a range of backgrounds. You’ll need:
A degree, HNC/HND, apprenticeship or equivalent practical experience in engineering (mechanical, electrical, electronic, aerospace, structural, renewable or civil), physics, acoustics, vibration or a related discipline. Desirable but not essential where practical experience and technical competence can be demonstrated.
Strong grounding in mathematical analysis, engineering principles and technical problem-solving. Experience with noise measurement, vibration analysis, acoustic assessment or dynamic system engineering is highly desirable.
A working knowledge of, or exposure to, MATLAB and MathWorks software packages, COMSOL Multiphysics, SolidWorks, ANSYS or similar engineering modelling and simulation tools.
Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability to write clear technical reports and present findings to clients and stakeholders.
Exposure to numerical modelling, finite element analysis, simulation calibration or data preparation for computational engineering is beneficial at all levels and expected at senior level.
Willingness and ability to travel within the UK and potentially overseas for project work.
Who You Are
Technical skills are important, but at Xi they are not the only measure of success. We place equal value on communication, professionalism, collaboration and team fit. We are looking for engineers who:
- Take ownership of their work and follow through on commitments
- Communicate openly and early when issues, risks or blockers arise
- Work collaboratively and contribute positively to team culture
- Act professionally and respectfully with colleagues, clients and stakeholders
- Operate with integrity, safety and quality in mind
- Are curious, solutions-focused and willing to learn, adapt and improve
- Balance technical quality with delivery practicality
Why Join Xi Engineering
- Work on technically challenging engineering projects across diverse sectors
- Join a collaborative team that values professionalism, respect and open communication
- Clear career progression from Junior Engineer through to Senior Engineer and beyond
- Develop specialist expertise in noise, vibration, acoustics and dynamic system engineering
- Opportunity to travel and work on UK and international engineering projects
- Supportive environment where team fit and professional development are priorities
How to Apply
We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. We actively encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and are happy to make reasonable adjustments to our recruitment process to ensure it is accessible to everyone.
If you require any adjustments or have specific needs during the application or interview process, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
