Acoustic Hardware Engineer Location: West Cambridge, UK — 5 days/week onsite
Duration : Initial 12-Month Contract
Rate : £400 per day PAYE Join our newly opened audio lab — featuring anechoic chambers and one of the world's largest configurable acoustic rooms (reconfigurable from cathedral-like acoustics to a fully dampened space). This role is centred on data: planning and running acoustic measurements, setting up complex data collection rigs (microphones, speakers, wearables), and processing the results. The work leans more toward software engineering than one-off scripting, and you'll often be handed problems the team hasn't solved before, requiring genuine acoustics expertise to work through. What You'll Do
