TL;DR · Audio Instrumentation & Calibration Design Engineer

The Audio Instrumentation & Calibration Design Engineer joins the Instrumentation Systems Engineering Group to develop and deploy calibration and test equipment for manufacturing lines. Working closely with validation and audio engineering groups during the New Product Introduction phase, this engineer brainstorms, designs, simulates, and develops instrumentation systems for new technology. Responsibilities include specifying and acquiring equipment, performing acoustic and vibro-acoustic simulations using FEA, and analyzing large amounts of performance data. The role requires balancing engineering tradeoffs between accuracy, precision, costs, lead-time, and throughput. Key technical skills include room acoustics, transducer design, and multi-physics simulation using Comsol or Ansys. Candidates must utilize CAD tools like NX/UG and possess programming experience in C, C++, Python, or Matlab to architect optimal measurement solutions for consumer electronics.

What you'll do

  • Specify, develop, and deploy acoustic instrumentation systems for manufacturing lines.
  • Perform acoustic and vibro-acoustic simulations using Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
  • Specify and acquire equipment, components, and tools for New Product Introduction environments.
  • Deploy and qualify measurement systems in-situ.
  • Analyze large datasets of calibration and performance data using Excel, Matlab, or JMP.
  • Design automated mass-production measurement tools while balancing accuracy, cost, and throughput.
  • Architect optimal instrumentation solutions based on core technology fundamentals.

What we're looking for

  • MS in Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics, or a similar field.
  • 1+ years of professional experience.
  • Deep familiarity with room acoustics and/or transducer design.
  • Experience with acoustic and multi-physics simulation using Comsol or Ansys.
  • Experience with CAD tools, preferably NX/UG (preferred).
  • Experience programming in C, C++, Python, or Matlab.
  • PhD or 3+ years of professional experience (preferred).
  • Experience in high volume consumer electronics manufacturing, scalable instrumentation, HW/SW automation, contract manufacturers, or acoustic materials (preferred).
