Job Type: Full-Time
Position Summary:
We are seeking a visionary
Senior Loudspeaker Systems Engineer to pioneer the next generation of our world-class, high-end speaker systems. In this role, you will own the entire acoustic and electro-mechanical signal chain. You will bridge the gap between physical transducer mechanics, premium analog/digital hardware, and advanced digital signal processing (DSP). From customizing bespoke driver architectures to programming precision active crossovers and room-correction filters, your work will directly define the signature sonic luxury and breathtaking imaging our brand is celebrated for.
Key Responsibilities:- Electro-Acoustic System Design: Architect high-performance, multi-way active and passive loudspeaker systems, optimizing the synergy between cabinets, custom drivers, and electronics.
- Premium Electronics Design: Develop audiophile-grade, low-noise analog input stages, ultra-clean DAC/ADC paths, and robust power delivery networks.
- Advanced DSP & Crossover Design: Architect and implement analog/digital crossover networks, phase correction, dynamic protection algorithms, and boundary/room-compensation filters.
- Advanced Lab Metrology: Lead exhaustive objective validation using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools (e.g., Klippel R&D systems, Audio Precision).
- Critical Listening: Conduct structured, subjective double-blind listening tests to "voice" the loudspeaker, gracefully balancing perfect engineering data with emotional musicality.
Preferred Qualifications:- Embedded Software: Experience writing embedded C and/or configuring dedicated audio DSP architectures (e.g. Analog Device SigmaDSP or Dream DSP).
- Audio Precision: Experience setting up Audio precision systems for quality control and using the equipment for design validation.
- Software: C# experience helpful for in house software maintenance.
