Senior Level
$144K/yr - $204K/yr
6+ years expMeta is a technology company that builds solutions to connect people and foster communities. As an Audio Transducer Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and integrating audio transducers into cutting-edge wearable audio devices, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure optimal acoustic performance and reliability.
Computer Software
Responsibilities
Primary cross-functional interface with PD/ID/EE/GSM/TPM/EPM/etc. and internal interface with our audio tuners and audio algorithm and perceptual developers
You will design custom moving coil and MEMS speakers and optimize vendor components and sub-components for best cost, acoustic (sensitivity/efficiency & distortion), power and reliability performance related to their enclosures, ports, passive radiators, grills, acoustic meshes dictated by the form factor
Present concise and coherent observations, conclusions and recommendations of high-fidelity virtual simulations and experimental measurements to establish performance targets and concepts to gaining cross-functional and leadership buy-in
Multi-physic linear and non-linear harmonic and transient simulations of transducers in device form factor and sub-components optimization (suspensions and motors systems) using fast moving lumped-parameter tools (MicroCap, PSpice, MATLAB, etc.) in tandem with advanced continuous-parameter FEA/BEA-tools (COMSOL, ANSYS, Abaqus, etc.)
Experimentally benchmark, characterize and verify moving coil and MEMS transducer and performance using industry standard tools (SoundCheck, Audio Precision, Klippel R&D, SCN and NFS, Keyence/Polytec Scanning lasers, acoustic cameras, etc.)
Facilitate our manufacturing partners factory test design and test specifications of transducers in their device intended enclosures
Building and calibrating non-linear material models based on advanced audio specific dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA)
Support bring up and audit new transducer and devices based on Engineering Requirement Specifications (ERS)
Evaluate, develop and design-in new materials and new technologies
Engineer who involves their head, heart and hands in the development process and enjoys collaborating to identify and close design issues
Qualification
Required
Bachelors Degree in Acoustics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or relevant technical field or equivalent practical experience
6+ years of experience working with micro-speakers, full-range, mid-range, woofer or tweeter transducers
3+ years of experience working cross-functionally on consumer hardware products with understanding of assembly techniques, audio materials and transducer design methods
Proficiency in failure analysis (both hands-on and analyzing data)
Preferred
M.Sc.EE, M.Sc.ME or Ph.D. in Acoustics, Physics or equivalent
Audio architectural and design experience
Avid user of COMSOLs linear (harmonic) and non-linear (transient) Acoustic, AC/DC and Structural modules
