## Description

Principal Audio DSP/Acoustics Engineer | Cambridge
We're partnered with a long-standing innovator in mission-critical communications, developing rugged handheld devices trusted by emergency services and frontline professionals worldwide. Their next generation of products push the boundaries of audio clarity, loudness and reliability in the harshest environments and they're looking for an experienced Audio Engineer to lead the charge.

You'll take ownership of the entire audio path - from microphones and speakers through to DSP and embedded integration.

Expect to:
Design and optimise the complete acoustic system, including enclosures, vents, ports and seals, to achieve exceptional intelligibility and loudness.
Implement and tune DSP algorithms (AEC, AGC, EQ, compression, noise suppression) on embedded platforms
Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, mechanical and software engineers to integrate audio seamlessly into ruggedised handhelds.
Troubleshoot and refine acoustic performance throughout prototype, validation and production stages.
Continuously evolve design tools, test methods and processes to push audio performance even further.
