Job description

HOLOPLOT is redefining what's possible in professional audio. Our Matrix Array technology enables precise, software-defined control of sound in three dimensions - a fundamentally new approach grounded in physics and realized through purpose-built hardware and software.

Our systems power some of the most ambitious audio installations in the world, including the Sphere in Las Vegas - currently the largest audio installation in entertainment.

The thoughtful integration of electroacoustic, DSP, control, and audio networking platforms will achieve a cohesive solution that meets the demanding technical and operational requirements of the venues we work with.

We're looking for a hands-on Application Engineer to support planning, commissioning, and optimization of HOLOPLOT systems across key US venues and projects.

Who we are and what you’ll do

HOLOPLOT is redefining what's possible in professional audio. Our Matrix Array technology enables precise, software-defined control of sound in three dimensions - a fundamentally new approach grounded in physics and realized through purpose-built hardware and software.

Our systems power some of the most ambitious audio installations in the world, including the Sphere in Las Vegas - currently the largest audio installation in entertainment.

The thoughtful integration of electroacoustic, DSP, control, and audio networking platforms will achieve a cohesive solution that meets the demanding technical and operational requirements of the venues we work with.

We're looking for a hands-on Application Engineer to support planning, commissioning, and optimization of HOLOPLOT systems across key US venues and projects.

The ideal candidate is

You are a high-energy, hands-on Application Engineer with experience in professional audio, acoustics, or sound system engineering. You have worked on loudspeaker systems in complex environments such as entertainment venues, theatres, arenas, or immersive audio spaces.

You are practical, technically curious, and confident in fast-moving on-site situations. Your experience may include system tuning, audio networking, signal flow, rigging coordination, venue operations, client-facing project work, demos, or technical training. You are excited by beamforming, spatial audio, and next-generation sound system design.

Main objectives of the role

You'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge audio technology and real-world project delivery — supporting system design, on-site commissioning, troubleshooting, and customer relationships for high-profile installations.

After a structured onboarding, you'll take ownership of defined work packages and represent HOLOPLOT independently at venues such as Radio City Music Hall, Sphere, and similar projects.

Core responsibilities:

• Support system design and simulation using HOLOPLOT PLAN, proprietary tools, EASE, and similar software

• Translate venue and client requirements into practical technical solutions

• Prepare technical deliverables: simulation results, system proposals, measurement reports, stakeholder documentation

• Commission, tune, test, and troubleshoot HOLOPLOT systems on-site

• Communicate professionally with venue teams, integrators, production crews, and internal colleagues

• Provide remote and on-site after-sales support including venue changes and new shows

• Assist with product demos, training sessions, and partner education

• Document project learnings and contribute to workflow improvements and best practices

What you need to succeed in this role

• 3–6 years of experience in professional audio, acoustics, system engineering, AV integration, or event technology

• Hands‑on experience planning, installing, testing, or commissioning loudspeaker systems in complex venues

• Degree or equivalent practical background in acoustics, audio engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field

• Working knowledge of acoustic simulation tools (EASE, CATT, or similar)

• Experience with measurement tools (SMAART, EASERA, or comparable)

• Familiarity with 3D drafting or CAD tools (SketchUp, Revit, AutoCAD) is a plus

• Strong problem-solving skills,comfort working in live venue and construction environments, and confidence in demanding customer-facing situations

• Ability to work independently on defined tasks after onboarding

• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• High energy, reliability, and a willingness to learn complex technology

• Frequent ( ~ 25% on average, 50% in key project phases) travel within the US; occasional international travel

• Fluency in English

We offer you

At HOLOPLOT, you’ll work on technology that is redefining professional audio, with direct impact on globally visible projects. You’ll join an international, open-minded team across applications, software, hardware, product, research, and project delivery, in an environment that offers a high degree of ownership, hands‑on learning, and real growth opportunities.

For our US-based employees, we offer competitive compensation, flexible working arrangements, and a comprehensive benefits package designed to support wellbeing, financial security, and a productive work setup.

About us

We are a pro audio company from Berlin, Germany. Since early 2011, we have been working on radically transforming audio technology, by re-thinking the underlying physics of sound reproduction. We wondered: What if sound could truly be controlled the way we can control light? What if we could create soundscapes that feel more real than reality? What if every seat in a venue could be made the best seat? Our solution is science-based, software-driven, and hardware-enabled: the HOLOPLOT Matrix Array. The sound system for a new era, a powerful tool that brings previously inaccessible capabilities to the world of audio. We believe when people experience better sound, they will enjoy more meaningful moments and create richer memories, leading to more fulfilling lives. At HOLOPLOT, it is our mission to redefine what is possible - enabling unparalleled and breathtaking experiences. A revolution in sound. Be part of it.
