Randy Rozema is the Director of Applications Engineering and a Principal at ACS, which delivers equipment, controls, and facilities solutions to the automotive, aerospace, energy, and industrial manufacturing industries. In his role, he develops design criteria and oversees the construction and testing of advanced test facilities. As an acoustics and vibration engineer, Randy specializes in product development and health and safety requirements. He is also a thought leader in systems integration and speaks about topics like NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) testing and facility performance optimization.

As manufacturers and engineers design testing facilities that can adapt to industry changes, traditional methods of building prototypes and collecting real-world data are costly, time-consuming, and often fail to anticipate future needs. How can companies create flexible, future-proof testing environments that balance physical testing with digital innovation?

Acoustics and vibration engineer Randy Rozema urges industrial companies to reimagine how they design testing spaces. He presents an “inside-out” approach that begins with the product’s testing requirements and data needs and then designs the facility to fit those parameters rather than retrofitting a preexisting space. Randy also recommends leveraging digital models alongside physical tests to improve efficiency while maintaining accuracy. By anticipating future industry shifts, such as quieter electric vehicles and stricter sound regulations, engineers can design with adaptability.

In today’s Industry Edge episode, Danielle Neely sits down with Randy Rozema, Director of Applications Engineering and Principal at ACS, to discuss creating cutting-edge NVH testing facilities. Randy shares case studies of unique facility challenges, advice for young engineers, and how to future-proof testing facilities.
