Dear List members,
EarLens Corporation is an early-stage start-up company creating a new generation of hearing devices. The company was founded on a non-surgical technology for directly vibrating the eardrum. The technology shows promise in improving speech intelligibility in background noise and enhancing the clarity of sound. The company is currently in the product research phase but looking to rapidly move on to clinical studies. We have an opening for an electro-acoustic engineer position. Details are given below.
Description: EarLens Corporation is
looking for an engineer with a special interest in audio signal processing and
testing. This engineer will be required to perform extensive electrical
as well as acoustic testing of the device and it’s components during the full
product development cycle including design, test, and manufacturing. To
be successful, the engineer should have a working knowledge of analog and
digital circuitry and common signal analysis techniques like impulse responses
and Fourier transforms. The ability to use general laboratory equipment
(oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, FFT analyzers, differential
amplifier/probes, microphones, etc.) will be critical as will having a
feel for the common problems associated with making measurements like
grounding, probe capacitance/inductance, EM pickup through inductive coupling,
and ground loops. Experience with
acoustic measurements and/or photonics would also be beneficial. In
addition, the engineer should be able to post process the laboratory results
with analysis software. Experience with Matlab is strongly
preferred. Experience in writing formal requirements/design/verification
and validation documents including release of documents for manufacturing is a
big plus. Experience managing out sourced PCB layout, fabrication, and
assembly as well as the ability to modify the prototypes and fixtures are of interest.
Qualifications: The position requires an
electrical engineering BS degree with more than ten years of experience or MS
in electrical engineering with more than three years of experience and a
working understanding of signal processing and analysis. The ideal candidate
will be very familiar with acoustics, audio signals, and Class D
amplifiers. Proficiency using signal measurement equipment and computer
analysis tools (e.g. Matlab) are required. Strong analytical skills and
the ability to present results in a clear fashion are also critical.
Please circulate to qualified candidates.
Thank you
