Socode are proud to represent a long-standing client who are always leading the charge in the world of critical communications – delivering world-class audio performance in rugged handheld devices.

What will I be doing?
You’ll take the lead on acoustic design for next-generation products – owning everything from component selection and DSP tuning through to system integration and testing. You’ll be hands-on with prototypes, solving challenging real-world audio problems and ensuring clear, reliable communication in the most demanding environments.

Key responsibilities:

• Design and optimise the full audio path, from microphones and speakers through to DSP.
• Run acoustic modelling, experiments and lab tests, turning results into practical improvements.
• Tune digital signal processing (noise suppression, echo cancellation, EQ, gain control) for maximum performance.
• Work closely with hardware, mechanical and software engineers to integrate audio into compact devices.
• Troubleshoot and resolve acoustic issues during development and manufacturing.
• Produce clear test reports, documentation and technical recommendations.
• Drive continuous improvements in audio design, tools and processes.

We’re looking for:

• A degree in Acoustics, Audio Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
• Significant experience developing audio systems for handheld or consumer devices.
• Strong understanding of speakers, microphones and acoustic design principles.
• Practical experience with acoustic test equipment and analysis tools.
• Confident with DSP concepts and hands-on tuning.
• A problem-solver with a practical mindset and strong attention to detail.
• Clear communicator, able to collaborate across engineering teams.
