Acoustic System Engineer information

What does an acoustic system engineer do?

An Acoustic System Engineer designs, develops, and tests systems and devices that manipulate sound, such as speakers, microphones, and noise control systems. They work on optimizing sound quality and ensuring that audio equipment meets specific performance criteria for various applications, including automotive, consumer electronics, and architectural spaces. Their responsibilities often include simulation, measurement, and analysis of acoustic properties, as well as collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to integrate acoustic solutions into products.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an acoustic system engineer?

To thrive as an Acoustic System Engineer, you typically need a degree in acoustics, electrical engineering, or a related field, along with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Familiarity with acoustic simulation software (such as MATLAB, EASE, or COMSOL), measurement tools, and industry standards is essential. Excellent communication, teamwork, and project management skills help in collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams and clients. These competencies ensure accurate system design, effective troubleshooting, and successful delivery of high-quality acoustic solutions.

What are some common challenges faced by acoustic system engineers when integrating new audio technologies into existing products?

Acoustic System Engineers often encounter challenges when integrating new audio technologies, such as ensuring compatibility with existing hardware, managing space constraints within product enclosures, and minimizing unwanted noise or distortion. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams—including mechanical, electrical, and software engineers—is essential to address these issues and achieve optimal sound quality. Efficient troubleshooting and iterative testing are key parts of the role, helping to refine designs and meet performance requirements within project timelines.

Job description

SeaLandAire Technologies in Jackson, Michigan is looking for an experienced Undersea Acoustic R&D Engineer to become one of several acoustic subject matter experts on SLA's staff to grow our company's capabilities and reputation with our customers and partners.
SeaLandAire provides engineering services for data collection applications in difficult environments. We design, develop, and build products tailored to help our customers collect information from any environment, focusing on small, unmanned vehicles and sensor systems. The job is fast-paced and requires working with top engineers, customers, technicians, and support staff. Our passion for our work is evident in everything that leaves our doors.
The Undersea Acoustic R&D Engineer performs duties in design, development, and testing of underwater acoustic transducers including hydrophones and projectors in a research and development atmosphere. The position combines elements of mechanical, electrical, and acoustic engineering, testing of acoustic sensors, and processing of test data to fully characterize the properties of the acoustic transducer.
Essential Functions*
  • Interface with SeaLandAire (SLA) project teams and customers to define requirements, project feasibility assessment, and acoustic performance verification
  • Collaborate across teams to design and develop acoustic transducers to meet performance requirements
  • Help write proposals, estimate necessary labor requirements, and provide cost estimates for new work
  • Design and execute tests to characterize and validate the performance of acoustic transducers
  • Analyze test data to quickly summarize the system performance
  • Provide inputs to written test reports and status reports
  • Provide instruction and collaborate with lab personnel to build and test
  • Interface with System, Mechanical, Electrical Engineers and CAD Design Groups effectively

*Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Supervisory Responsibility
This position does not have department or company supervisory responsibilities. However, supervision within projects may be expected and could include planning, organizing, assigning, and overseeing the technical work of other engineers and technicians while communicating regularly with the Project Managers / Project Engineers.
Core Competencies
Successful applicants would exhibit many of the following capabilities and traits:
  • Knowledge of underwater acoustics
  • Experience with signal analysis
  • Knowledge of line arrays and beamforming
  • Understand piezoelectric ceramic material properties and applications of these materials in electro-mechanical transducers
  • Experience building prototype solutions
  • Knowledge of ceramic hydrophone pre-amp design
  • Understanding of hydrophone noise sources
  • Understanding the principles associated with direction of arrival (DOA)
  • Experience with Design/Prototype/Validate cycle
  • Experience with multiphysics simulation software, preferably COMSOL
  • Experience utilizing Python to analyze data and assess performance

Position Type/Expected Hours of Work
This is an on-site, full-time position, with a minimum expectation of 40 hours per week. Hours are somewhat flexible, and occasional late evenings may be required.
Travel
Some travel is expected for field testing, vendor selections, and customer interface.
Education and Experience
A PhD in a relevant field is preferred, or a Master's or Bachelor's degree with experience.
Legal Requirements
  • Since a majority of SeaLandAire's business is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, applicants must be a "U.S. Person" (U.S. Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident).
  • A background check will be conducted for employment purposes.
  • A U.S. government security clearance is not required to start but is very helpful. Employees must be able to obtain a security clearance; SeaLandAire will sponsor this process.
