Audio Systems Engineer

Summary :

The Wearables Audio Technology Team (WATT) is looking for an experienced Audio System Engineer to develop and deliver the next generation of Meta devices. As an Audio System Engineer, you will collaborate with domain experts, influence WATT Audio and cross-functional hardware teams, driving audio integration of subsystems into the product. You will deliver audio systems for consumer electronics, taking on proof-of-concepts, device level integration, product development influence, root-cause analysis, and logical design improvements leading to production readiness. Our approach demands demonstrated experience using data to drive development process, combining objective measurements with perceptual audio evaluation to guide trade-offs with a focus on customer experience. The team is seeking an effective communicator, who can represent WATT with cross-functional hardware teams while relating customer experience with quantitative and qualitative data. We take a hard stance on audio experience and build quality for Meta products, thus high quality presentation of audio data to other functions is critical to ensure successful audio experiences. A successful Audio System Engineer will drive engineering success by collaborating with domain experts and owning the system-level performance outcomes.
