  • Knowledge of Cockos Reaper software is a plus, but not required.
  • Understanding of field and studio recording techniques.

  • Proficient communicator and a positive presence in the audio department. This position is more than just an "Audio Engineer" — communication and soft skills are key!
  • Experience with Unreal Engine 4 is ideal, but not required.
Application Requirements:
  • A demo reel demonstrating relevant skills and past work.
  • 1+ years experience in a professional Sound Design environment.
