About Trulli Audio
At Trulli Audio, we are revolutionizing the way you experience sound through our patented ThinDriver technology. We design loudspeakers that are untethered from the constraints of power, weight, and space, opening new avenues for creative deployment.
We are a small, focused engineering team building a portfolio of professional and prosumer loudspeaker products. We constantly test, build everything in-house, and care deeply about how things sound, how they look, and how they hold up in the field.
About the role:
We are hiring an Acoustical Engineer II to report to our Head of Acoustics and take ownership of complex loudspeaker design work across our growing product portfolio. This is a hands-on, design driven role for someone who has experience with the CAD, prototyping, and testing loop for past product cycles and is ready to drive that work end to end.
You will partner with mechanical, electrical, software, and supply chain teammates, and you will help shape how Trulli’s acoustic engineering function operates as the company scales.
All Product Development and Assembly is done in the USA!
Drive enclosure topology, port and passive radiator tuning, Thiele Small parameter analysis, and overall acoustic performance using our measurement tools and simulation programs. Translate product targets into engineering designs that hit them.
•
Correlate and analyze product data.
Conduct and supervise acoustic, mechanical, and destructive testing in collaboration with the broader team. Provide design feedback that connects simulation to prototype data using digital twin analysis.
•
Document and communicate the work.
Communicate trade-offs and recommendations effectively across engineering, product, and supply chain.
•
Help build the acoustics function.
Keep current on transducer technology, materials, DSP platforms, measurement standards, and industry best practices for professional and prosumer loudspeaker systems.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in acoustics, physics, electrical or mechanical engineering, or a related field. 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience designing loudspeaker systems for commercial release, with a portfolio of shipped or near shipped products that include enclosure, transducer, and voicing work.
- Practical fluency with at least one simulation tool (MATLAB, COMSOL, or equivalent) and a willingness to learn new software tools required for this role.
- Experience developing DSP voicing profiles using one or more platforms (e.g. Strong fluency with acoustic measurement hardware and software for impedance, frequency response, distortion, and large signal characterization.
- Sharp analytical instincts and excellent attention to detail when recording, analyzing, and interpreting acoustic data.
- Track record of working effectively across multi-disciplinary teams (mechanical, electrical, software, manufacturing, and supply chain).
Additional Qualifications:
- Experience working directly with offshore or domestic driver manufacturers on custom transducer programs.
- Experience designing for mid to high volume production, including DFM and DFA inputs and tolerance analysis.
- Experience contributing to phase gate engineering processes and structured product development cycles.
- Strong ear for quality sound, with the ability to identify loudspeaker defects, distortion artifacts, and voicing issues by ear.
- Familiarity with 3D CAD tools such as Fusion 360 or SolidWorks for design coordination with mechanical engineering.
- Active membership or participation in AES, ALMA, or similar professional communities.
Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, $110,000+, plus full health, dental, and vision benefits, retirement plan, and paid time off.
- On site work at our Mundelein, IL facility, where all our operations are located.
