Job Description

We are seeking an to hire an experienced Audio Mechanical Engineer. This is a Full-Time Permanent position that will require to work on-site (no remote or Hybrid). NOT seeking a C2C or contractor.

Location: Sunnyvale, CA or Seattle, WA (we do offer relocation assistance).

As part of the Acoustic Render (Speaker) Team (ART), you will have a significant impact on the architectural design and audio transducer integration of our acoustic custom speaker modules. Your role will contribute to the development of cutting-edge hardware devices that
prioritize social interactions in both Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) settings.

This position requires a strong foundation in mechanical engineering, prototyping skills, CAD proficiency, and experience in designing
consumer electronics.

Responsibilities:
• Complex Micro-Plastic Mechanical Solutions: Lead the design of sophisticated microplastic mechanical solutions for audio microspeaker modules, leveraging insert molded steel plates and acoustic meshes to optimize speaker performance.
• Prototype Development and Validation: Model, construct, and test prototypes to validate and enhance the mechanical aspects and acoustic performance of the speaker modules. Establish test systems to conduct mechanical validations and use data-driven insights for continuous improvement.


QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree (BS) in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• At least 4 years of relevant product design and development experience, with a focus on micro-speakers in high-volume consumer electronics.
