About the role
We're building smart wearables where the speaker gets a fraction of a cubic centimeter and has to be loud at the ear and quiet to everyone around you. We're looking for a Speaker Systems Engineer to own the speaker system in our products end to end: choosing and specifying the transducers, designing the acoustic path around them in very little space, setting their limits and protection, partnering with the Audio Lead on tuning, and getting them built and tested at volume. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics, Physics, or similar
- 5+ years of experience integrating speakers into consumer electronics hardware, with at least one shipped product where you owned the speaker system
- Strong grounding in electroacoustics: lumped-parameter modeling, Thiele/Small parameters, enclosure and port design, and the behavior of small drivers at their limits
- Hands-on experience specifying and qualifying miniature speakers with transducer suppliers
- Extensive experience with audio test systems (e.g., SoundCheck, Klippel, Audio Precision) and with measuring distortion, maximum SPL, and rub-and-buzz
- A record of using acoustic simulation (lumped-parameter and FEM, e.g., COMSOL) to make design decisions, checked against measured hardware
