Audio Hardware Engineer

We are looking for a highly skilled Audio Hardware Engineer to join our team and design and develop advanced audio systems for our next-generation products. In this role, you will be responsible for architecting and implementing high-performance audio hardware subsystems—from microphones and speakers to amplifiers and audio codecs.

Key Responsibilities:

-Design, prototype, and validate analog and digital audio circuits, including microphone arrays, speaker drivers, amplifiers, and codecs.

-Schematic design, PCB layout reviews, and bring-up of audio hardware.

-Conduct in-depth analysis and optimization of audio quality, including signal integrity, noise reduction, echo cancellation, and distortion control.

-Evaluate and select audio components (MEMS mics, DACs/ADCs, amps, etc.) based on performance, cost, and power consumption.

-Own the hardware validation and test plan for audio systems using test equipment such as Audio Precision, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers.

-Work closely with manufacturing partners to resolve issues related to audio hardware during prototyping and mass production.

Must Have Skills :

-Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.

-5+ years of hands-on experience in audio hardware design and development.

-Proven experience with audio signal path design, including both analog and digital domains.

-Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence).

-Experience with electroacoustic testing, tuning, and validation.

-Strong understanding of audio performance metrics (THD+N, SNR, latency, etc.).

-Familiarity with EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and low-noise analog design.

-Experience working on consumer electronics, wearables, or AR/VR products is a strong plus.

Good to Have :

-Experience with beamforming, active noise cancellation (ANC), or echo cancellation (AEC).

-Understanding of Bluetooth audio (A2DP, BLE Audio) and relevant audio transmission standards.

-Familiarity with voice assistants and wake-word detection architectures.

-Experience collaborating with DSP and algorithm teams.
