  • Work closely with hardware, mechanical and software engineers to integrate audio into compact devices.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve acoustic issues during development and manufacturing.
  • Produce clear test reports, documentation and technical recommendations.
  • Drive continuous improvements in audio design, tools and processes.
    • We’re looking for:
  • A degree in Acoustics, Audio Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
  • Significant experience developing audio systems for handheld or consumer devices.
  • Strong understanding of speakers, microphones and acoustic design principles.
  • Practical experience with acoustic test equipment and analysis tools.
  • Confident with DSP concepts and hands-on tuning.
  • A problem-solver with a practical mindset and strong attention to detail.
  • Clear communicator, able to collaborate across engineering teams.
