Internal job id: FT0279
NOTE:
Most of the candidates we received earlier had strong signal-processing skills, which are helpful and necessary, but they had very little experience with conducting experiments or working with measurement equipment. The measurement component is related to the data acquisition responsibilities in the JD, and in particular to "Perform acoustic data collection involving complex apparatus, prototype devices, and human subjects in controlled laboratory environments." We'd prefer to find someone with a better balance between signal processing/programming and experimental experience.
Acoustic Research Engineer (Contract)
