Would you like to engage in meaningful work five days a week? A career where you contribute to the quality of life for people worldwide. Guess what? You have found the right place! We are currently looking for a new colleague to join R&D in our Hardware, Acoustics & Integration department.

Oticon is a part of the Demant Group. Our R&D department embraces the whole circle of development in-house. In Hardware Acoustics & Integration department, we are looking for a Senior Electro Acoustic Engineer who would like to contribute with innovative electro acoustic development and who would like the prospect of spearheading future product development.

Join the Acoustics and Integration team

Our team is responsible for the design and verification of the electroacoustic concepts we use in our products. We focus on delivering solutions that enable us to deliver high-quality hearing aid solutions, including transducing knowledge and development of new acoustic concepts for future products. We are depending on, and facilitating, in-depth knowledge about vibroacoustic behavior of subsystems and complete hearing aid solutions.

We participate in product development as well as maturation of concepts, before they are used in product development.

Communication of results and document knowledge is key to our success, as we work closely together with mechanical and electronics developers in our teams.

Building innovative Electro Acoustic Solutions

In your new job you will be part of Oticon’s Hardware Function, more specifically the Design and Usability group. Working agile - You will be a part of a cross functional development team in an Agile Release Train. The excitement this group faces daily is the development of highly complex platforms, due to the high degree of functionality that hearing instruments offer. Furthermore, we focus on developing our platforms to fit multiple brands, adding to the complexity. The team works closely together with other professionals, i.e., audiologists and engineers specializing in amplifiers and embedded systems.

The biggest challenge is to develop a platform that provides the needed acoustical gain and at the same time securing a good mechanical and acoustic feedback margin. Therefore, close cooperation with the mechanical engineers and the pre-production team is crucial for a good result.

Your responsibilities include:

  • Acoustic systemdesign and Development
  • Platform calibration/settings
  • Design specifications
  • Effort estimation and planning
  • Selection of components i.e. transducers – microphones, receivers/speakers

We anticipate that you possess strong qualifications in Sound Quality, Acoustic measurements, vibro-acoustics, and sound path design. Knowledge from working with electro acoustic or magnetic designs of hearing instruments or other smaller products such as cell phones, headsets or similar is an advantage.

You perform best in a vibrant atmosphere and enjoy partnering with experienced coworkers to make the most of your skills. We offer further development opportunities and believe Oticon is a good place to develop your career further.
