At Sennheiser / Sonova Consumer Hearing GmbH, we develop state-of-the-art headphones that blend technical excellence with sensory precision. Join our dedicated team and bring your ideas to life — from the first sketch to the finished product.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in designing and developing new headphone models, improving existing ones, and defining acoustic design principles. You’ll work hands-on with physical prototypes, sound testing, and collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to turn concepts into market-ready products.

Your Mission – Innovative, Hands-on & Impactful:

• Design, build, and evaluate physical prototypes of high-quality acoustic systems

• Integrate electro-acoustic components while considering system design and manufacturability

• Perform acoustic measurements on components and full assemblies and analyze the results

• Collaborate directly with DSP, control, electrical, and mechanical engineers to tune and optimize performance

• Support prototype and production builds, both on-site at the factory and remotely

• Work with manufacturing partners to validate and refine assembly procedures

• Conduct feasibility studies on new technologies and continuously monitor market trends

• Use tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, SPICE, or FEA to simulate and predict acoustic system behavior

What You Bring:

• 3+ years of hands-on product development experience in acoustics, ideally in the consumer or professional audio sector

• A technical degree or equivalent practical experience

• Solid understanding of acoustics, analog electronics, and audio tuning processes

• Hands-on experience with headphone acoustic structures, including enclosure and port design

• Proficiency in using acoustic test equipment (e.g., GRAS, B&K, Audio Precision, Listen Inc.)

• Ability to define requirements for acoustic components such as drivers, microphones, and meshes

• Strong communication skills in English

• Bonus: Experience with noise cancelling, digital signal processing, and acoustic simulation tools

What We Offer:

• A dynamic and collaborative working environment with flat hierarchies

• The opportunity to shape world-class audio products from the ground up

• Support for personal and professional development through training and growth programs

• Flexible working models and attractive employment conditions

• 30 days of vacation, vacation bonus, discounted Germany ticket, company pension scheme, and more
