Audio Architect

The Wearables Audio Technology Team (WATT) is looking for an experienced Audio Architect to drive audio development for the next generation of Meta devices. The Audio Architect will lead through domain experts, influencing within WATT and cross-functionally to ensure the products’ audio performance is greater than the sum of its subsystems without direct ownership of any subsystem. We are looking for a meaningful depth in all aspects of audio system development for consumer electronics; from early proof-of-concept technologies, feature trade-offs at device level, product development and testing challenges, through to production readiness. Our work demands a data-driven development process, combining objective measurements with perceptual audio evaluation to guide trade-offs with a focus on customer experience. The Audio Architect will communicate effectively at all levels, both representing and challenging WATT and cross-functional teams while relating customer experience with quantitative and qualitative data, taking a hard stance on audio experience and build quality for Meta products. The Audio Architect will drive better engineering, engaging domain expertise at appropriate times, optimizing the audio teams’ meeting load.
