<p>The Wearables Audio Technology Team (WATT) is looking for an experienced Audio System Engineer to develop and deliver the next generation of Meta devices. As an Audio System Engineer, you will collaborate with domain experts, influence WATT Audio and cross-functional hardware teams, driving audio integration of subsystems into the product. You will deliver audio systems for consumer electronics, taking on proof-of-concepts, device level integration, product development influence, root-cause analysis, and logical design improvements leading to production readiness. Our approach demands demonstrated experience using data to drive development process, combining objective measurements with perceptual audio evaluation to guide trade-offs with a focus on customer experience. The team is seeking an effective communicator, who can represent WATT with cross-functional hardware teams while relating customer experience with quantitative and qualitative data. We take a hard stance on audio experience and build quality for Meta products, thus high quality presentation of audio data to other functions is critical to ensure successful audio experiences. A successful Audio System Engineer will drive engineering success by collaborating with domain experts and owning the system-level performance outcomes.</p> <p>Qualifications: Bachelors Degree in Acoustics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or relevant technical field or equivalent practical experience 6+ years of experience focused around audio design, testing and failure analysis Demonstrated experience in all aspects of product level audio system development, building technology Proof Of Concepts, product design and development, testing, Failure Analysis and Corrective Action (FACA), and production readiness Acoustic Simulation (Lumped, Boundary, and Finite Element) for acoustic, magnetic, and/or multi physics Experience using MATLAB (design, testing, algorithm prototyping) Master's or PhD in Acoustics or Physics Experience with algorithm prototyping (Max MSP, MATLAB, etc) and 3D modeling (Nx, SolidWorks, etc) Experience with transducer design (speakers, microphone, MEM's, etc) and acoustic test development (lab and factory) Highly effective presentation skills Experience working collaboratively with different teams and key stakeholders Experience in consumer electronics and system-level hardware design</p> <p>Responsibilities: Own project audio integration as primary cross-functional interface for Product Design, Industrial , Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Test Engineering, etc Define, own, and champion system level performance targets Drive and influence holistic audio system design across Render, Capture, and Audio Electrical engineering Collaboration with WATT and external specialized functional teams Develop Proof of Concept Hardware demos to establish performance, gaining cross functional partner and leadership buy-in Collaborative development of new audio technologies System level test requirement specification Support build activities in collaboration with APAC counterparts</p>
