Audio Mechanical Engineer - Sunnyvale, United States - L&T Technology Services
Description
Audio Mechanical Engineer
As Audio Mechanical Engineer in the Acoustic Render (Speaker) Team, you will have a high degree of device architectural and audio transducer design and integration influence on our acoustic custom speaker modules. Together with your colleagues, you will contribute to the development of the next cutting-edge social first hardware devices across AR and VR.
The RL (Reality Labs) Audio Technology Device Team cares and designs for end-users to be frictionless and naturally connected with their loved ones in compelling device form factors where sound is a vital facet.
You will become part of a team exploring and developing early ideas, prototypes to mass-production of consumer electronics. You will work as part of a cross functional team requiring collaboration and curiosity in domains of mechanical and electroacoustic engineering. Our ideal candidate has strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, prototyping skills, CAD fluency, manufacturing process knowledge, and experience designing consumer electronics.
Together with electroacoustic transducer/module/system design engineers, you frame qualitative experiences to quantitative data during deep cross-functional dialogs to balance a given form factor with acoustic performance, reliability, power consumption and cost.
The RL Audio Technology Device Team has comprehensive acoustic facilities, equipment, working methods and overall ownership of the full device acoustic speaker performance all the way from architectural infant concepts to mass production.
