Competitive hourly rates upto $90/hr on W2

Introduction

The Audio Experience Team is seeking an experienced Audio Systems Engineer to join our team. This role involves prototyping and evaluating microphone arrays for next-generation wearable devices. You will collaborate across hardware and algorithm teams to ensure optimal capture performance across product use cases.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 4–5 years of industry experience in acoustics and audio signal processing.
• Hands-on experience building and testing microphone or mic-array prototypes.
• Experience with electroacoustic measurement systems and lab practice (e.g., Audio Precision, Brüel & Kjær, anechoic chambers, HATS).
• Working knowledge of audio DSP fundamentals: filtering, spectral analysis, transfer functions, and array processing.
• Basic working proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB.
• Prior work experience at a client or in the client's industry.

Applicants must be able to work directly for Artech on W2.

Preferred Skills & Qualifications

• Master's degree in a related field.

• Prior experience with wearables or consumer audio hardware.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Design and integrate proof-of-concept mic-array prototypes for target device form factors, including mic placement, mechanical fixtures, and multichannel recording setups.
• Plan and execute electroacoustic measurements — frequency response, sensitivity, directivity, and acoustic transfer functions — in anechoic and HATS-based setups.
• Run acoustic simulations of device-on-head scenarios to guide design choices and predict array performance.
• Compare simulated and measured results, identify and explain discrepancies, and evaluate prototype arrays against target performance metrics.
• Develop Python/MATLAB tooling for data acquisition, analysis, and visualization.
• Document results and present findings to acoustics, hardware, algorithm, and product partners.

Company Benefits & Culture
