As part of the Sonos team, you'll collaborate with people of all styles, skill sets, and backgrounds to realize our vision while fostering a community where everyone feels included and empowered to do the best work of their lives.

The Hearables Innovation Team at Sonos are looking for a Research Scientist in Sensing to join us in inventing the personal listening experiences of the future.

What you'll do

As a Research Scientist in Sensing for Hearables, you will be responsible for researching, developing, and evaluating sensor technologies, signal processing and machine learning methods, and interaction concepts. This will include identifying the emerging opportunities presented by new methods and developments in the field and taking ideas from early concepts to scalable, productisable solutions.

Skills You'll Need

Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don't apply for roles if they don't meet all the criteria. If you don't have 100% of the skills listed, we strongly encourage you to apply if interested.

Basic Qualifications

  • Ability to formalize, analyze and solve complex problems.
  • Demonstrable expertise and research experience in one or more of the following areas:
    • Sensor processing, sensor fusion
    • Brain-computer interaction
    • Mobile and wearable computing
    • Machine learning
    • Spatial computing
    • Augmented hearing and assistive technologies
  • Ph.D. in audio, covering one of the above areas or a related topic.
  • Knowledge of fundamental DSP and ML techniques for sensing and sensor fusion (e.g. state estimation, data pre-processing and modeling).
  • Comfortable working with and/or designing prototype hardware systems
  • Comfortable using Python or Matlab, and version control tools.
  • Ability to clearly communicate, present, and disseminate research findings to both specialist and general audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Musical and/or critical listening background (playing, producing, engineering).
  • Track record of published papers in relevant peer-reviewed journals or conferences (e.g. ICML, SENSORS, UIST, CHI, CVPR, Ubicomp, MobiCom, ICASSP, Interspeech).

Your profile will be reviewed and you'll hear from us once we have an update. At Sonos we take the time to hire right and appreciate your patience.

About Us The Way We Work @ Sonos

Having been distributed from the start, we've long since been accustomed to having close teammates in entirely different locations and time zones. We ground ourselves in these four principles while working as distributed teams:

Role Location: Some roles require an office while others may be done remotely. Leaders make this decision based on business rationale, role requirements and team needs.

Travel : Some work is better done in person. Teams should meet together in person at critical moments to move work forward.

Meeting Norms : We use our time to drive OKRs and run the business. We normalize asynchronous collaboration and focused work. We give feedback and help each other improve when norms are not followed.

Flexibility : Flexibility done well fuels impact, not hinders it. Teams flex to support one another and employees flex to deliver for the team or business. We flex both ways to drive impact.

Sonos takes your privacy seriously and is committed to protecting your personal data. To learn more, please review the Sonos Recruiting Privacy Notice . This Notice explains how we collect, use and protect your personal information in connection with our recruitment process.
