- Experience in designing, tuning, and testing microphone arrays and real-time audio capture.

- Track record in developing audio solutions encompassing acoustics, transducers, digital interfaces, audio ICs, and DSPs.

- Hands-on experience with audio testing systems (e.g., SoundCheck, Audio Precision, HATS testing).

- Background in DSP techniques (e.g., FIR/IIR filter design, beamforming, echo cancellation).

- Effective independent operation and teamwork in a dynamic, cross-functional setting.

- Experience with acoustic simulation software, e.g., COMSOL.

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Acoustics, or similar.

Preferred Qualifications:

- 8+ years of experience in audio hardware development.

- Proficiency in a high-level programming language (e.g., MATLAB, Python).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
