Subject: Electro-acoustic engineer position opening From: Sunil Puria <puria@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 13:44:36 -0700 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail-1289-703765497 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 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=92s 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.
