Audio Transducer Design Engineer

The Meta Reality Labs Wearable Audio Technology Team (WATT) cares and designs for end-users to be frictionless and naturally connected with their loved ones in compelling device form factors where sound is a vital facet. As an Audio Transducer Design Engineer you will have a high degree of device architectural and audio transducer design and integration influence. Together with your colleagues, you drive the development of the next cutting-edge social-fist hardware devices across wearable audio only, smart, display and AR Glasses. You will work in a vibrant audio community on all aspects of audio device and sub-system architecture, design and development. You engage from early simulation-driven concept work where we guide you to leverage and deploy limitless high performance compute to virtually down-select and quickly build-up successful experimental proof-of-concept prototypes. On the way to mass production, you fully negotiate device integration, optimize transducer components and iterate with grit to pass our rigorous acoustic, power consumption, reliability, cost and reuse requirements. You employ systematic, data driven virtual and experimental design methods, objective and subjective audio evaluation and a commonsense attitude to complex engineering challenges. You know when the time is to hold the line - and when to let go moving forward. The best fit for the role will be a gregarious communicator who has the capacity to describe audio architecture and transducers and accompanying acoustic passive component challenges and solutions in a clear and concise manner. You frame qualitative experiences to quantitative data during cross-functional dialogs to balance a given form factor with acoustic performance, reliability, power consumption and cost. WATT has comprehensive acoustic facilities, equipment, working methods and overall ownership of the full device acoustic performance from early-stage architectural concepts to mass production.
