What are the responsibilities and job description for the Audio Engineer III # 26-11866 position at US Tech Solutions?
Duration: 12 months (Possible Extension)
Job overview:
Client brings together a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers to create the future of augmented and virtual reality. The Hearing Product Group is focused on researching and developing next-generation audio technologies for AR glasses and wearable devices — from acoustic capture and spatial audio to noise reduction and hearing enhancement.
We are seeking an experienced Acoustic Research Engineer (CW) to join our team and contribute to the design, execution, and analysis of complex acoustic measurements that drive our audio research and product development. In this role, you will set up and operate professional acoustic measurement systems as an integral part of the development and validation of audio processing pipelines — particularly in the areas of capture and noise reduction.
Our team cultivates an honest and considerate environment where self-motivated individuals thrive. We encourage a strong sense of ownership and embrace the ambiguity that comes with working on the frontiers of research.
Responsibilities
- Design, assemble, and operate complex acoustic measurement setups including impulse/transfer function measurements, and electroacoustic characterization of devices and transducers.
- Configure and operate professional audio interfaces (e.g., RME, Antelope) and measurement equipment including HATS (Head and Torso Simulator), precision microphones, reference loudspeakers, and turntable systems.
- Develop, validate, and maintain audio processing pipelines with a focus on capture and noise reduction signal chains.
- Collaborate with research scientists and engineers to support data collection campaigns, prototype evaluation, and algorithm validation.
- Document measurement procedures, maintain lab equipment, and ensure reproducibility and quality of acoustic data.
- BS or MS degree in Acoustics, Audio Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
- 3 years of hands-on experience designing and conducting acoustic measurements (e.g., impulse/frequency response, THD, directivity).
- Demonstrated proficiency operating professional audio interfaces (RME, Antelope, or similar) and precision measurement equipment.
- Experience with room acoustics measurements, HRTF measurement, or spatial audio capture systems.
- Proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB for measurement automation, data analysis, and signal processing.
- Solid understanding of fundamental DSP concepts (filtering, FFT, convolution, sampling theory).
- Experience with development or validation of audio processing pipelines, particularly in capture and/or noise reduction domains.
- MS or PhD in Acoustics, Audio Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Familiarity with audio measurement software (e.g., Audio Precision, EASERA, REW, custom sweep-based systems).
- Experience working with embedded audio systems or wearable devices.
- Familiarity with lab automation, version-controlled measurement scripts, and data pipeline tools.
- Experience in an interdisciplinary research environment collaborating with scientists, engineers, and product teams.
