Audio Hardware Engineer

You are a highly skilled Audio Hardware Engineer responsible for designing and developing advanced audio systems for next-generation products. Your role involves architecting and implementing high-performance audio hardware subsystems, including microphones, speakers, amplifiers, and audio codecs. - Design, prototype, and validate analog and digital audio circuits such as microphone arrays, speaker drivers, amplifiers, and codecs. - Conduct schematic design, PCB layout reviews, and bring-up of audio hardware. - Perform in-depth analysis and optimization of audio quality, focusing on signal integrity, noise reduction, echo cancellation, and distortion control. - Evaluate and select audio components like MEMS mics, DACs/ADCs, amps, 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. - Collaborate with manufacturing partners to resolve issues related to audio hardware during prototyping and mass production. Qualification Required: - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field. - Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in audio hardware design and development. - Proven experience with audio signal path design in both analog and digital domains. - Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools like Altium Designer, Cadence. - Experience in electroacoustic testing, tuning, and validation. - Strong understanding of audio performance metrics such as THD+N, SNR, and latency. - Familiarity with EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and low-noise analog design. - Experience working on consumer electronics, wearables, or AR/VR products is a plus.,
