Experience with Finite Element Analysis software COMSOL (electromagnetic, structural mechanics and acoustics) for simulations and analysis

Working knowledge of lumped-parameter simulation methods and tools, as implemented in either equivalent circuit simulators or System Dynamics simulators (MATLAB and Simulink)

Experience with 3D solid modeling and meshing tools Experience with transducer design and testing (from single suspension micro speaker design to professional speakers) and understanding of loudspeaker design methods (and tradeoffs such as power, dimensions and cost).

Experience with speaker components and materials, assembly techniques and process, failure analysis and integration into products through prototype to mass production builds.

Ability to work with manufacturing suppliers/vendors on DFM from early design phase to prototyping and mass production

Useful but not required: Experience with Speaker LPM and nonlinear parameters measurements systems like Klippel

Minimum Qualifications

Most of our engineers have advanced degrees in Acoustics or an equivalent field (physics, electrical or mechanical engineering, etc.), but if you've followed a different path to expertise in acoustics and transducer design that's fine too

A self-disciplined creative problem-solver and communicator who works cross functionally, with the ability to work on fast-paced multiple projects at the same time and prioritize
