Senior Acoustic Design Engineer

Based in Berkshire working for a global leader in the supply of high performance mixed-signal semiconductor solutions to the consumer electronics market. In the home, their innovative technology can be found at the heart of many of the world's leading digital consumer goods, including mobile phones, tablet computers, premier hi-fi equipment, gaming devices, MP3 players, flat panel televisions, digital still cameras and portable navigation devices.

The Senior Acoustic Design Engineer will be responsible the following

*Responsible for experimental design work on prototype Acoustics and Audio designs to achieve required performance levels
*Make acoustic measurements on prototype headphones, earphones and handsets and other internal and customer application products
*Design small-signal audio analogue circuits using op-amps to create prototypes and products
*Use ORCAD schematic capture tool to create circuits required for the prototypes and demo products
*Use SMT soldering equipment to construct prototype digital and analogue circuits for the prototypes and demo products
*Use audio measurement equipment and oscilloscopes to debug and test the prototypes and demo products
*Analyse performance from acoustic measurements made on the prototypes and demo products
*Modify the prototypes and demo product designs through a series of design iterations based on measured performance
*Contributes in project meetings by sharing ideas and helping to problem-solve
*Understands, follows and contributes to the defined quality process
*Design Mechanical parts using 3D CAD design tools to create design files for prototype devices for the demonstrator units
*Support Field Applications teams in the field at customer sites Globally during integration activities
