Job description

As a Senior Advanced Acoustics Engineer within the Voice Hardware Engineering team, you will play a critical role in bringing innovative wearable audio solutions to market, from early-stage concept development through mass production. You will help create products used by thousands of customers in demanding industrial environments, delivering exceptional acoustic performance, durability, and user experience.

Our products are designed to operate reliably in harsh real-world conditions, including extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +50°C, high-noise warehouse and industrial settings, and exposure to dust, moisture, vibration, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Many of our solutions are wearable and must integrate seamlessly with personal protective equipment (PPE) while maintaining superior comfort, speech intelligibility, and overall usability. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring consistent acoustic performance across these challenging operating environments.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Design, Platform / DSP engineers, to drive system-level hardware research and development. You will also partner with our Speech Recognition team to optimize product performance and support customer investigations and issue resolutions. As a technical leader, you will drive acoustic system development activities including requirements definition, component selection, architecture design, simulation, prototyping, measurement, testing, validation, and production readiness.

The role requires the development of complex audio systems that integrate multiple microphones, speakers, and advanced signal-processing technologies into user-facing products. Working with both internal and external partners, you will guide system-level design decisions and ensure products meet all relevant acoustic, reliability, safety, and regulatory requirements.

Limited international travel may be required to support engineering development, supplier engagement, and manufacturing activities.
