Company: Lionel LLC
Location: Concord, NC, USA
Lionel is currently seeking candidates for our Audio Engineering opportunity. Working in the Engineering Department at Lionel can be described as one of the best jobs in the world. Not only does a typical day involve design, code, prototype, and testing toy trains, we get to play with them too!
Even though Lionel was founded in 1900, the company operates much like a 21st-century start-up. Projects come with tight deadlines, changes need to be made on the fly, and supporting the production team is sometimes a task that requires middle of the night phone calls. It is not at all uncommon to be juggling multiple projects at once, or even doing work outside of the Engineering Department’s typical responsibilities!
This position will be tasked with production audio work and new sound project development! We’re constantly pushing the limits of technology in toy trains, and the engineering challenges are far more complex than most everyone can imagine. Working with other Engineers to create tomorrow’s new tech is the norm here. If this sounds like a dream to you, don’t hesitate to apply. We’re not looking for perfection, only the drive to learn and succeed at a very unique and fun career!
Responsibilities:
• Create new audio files and sound playing algorithms as needed to meet the Product Specifications. Write configuration text files and compile final sound sets for production using proprietary and commercial development tools.
• Modify/re-use existing audio files to meet the Product Specifications and implement features on time for production schedules
• Cast voice talent and write their scripted dialog with input from the Product team. Arrange for recording and edit the resulting dialog for use in final products.
• Test engineering prototype sample of the final product for functionality and subjective sound quality.
• Support the Manufacturing Department by writing or modifying sound control code related to the product’s audio system.
• Maintain a database of audio files and code associated with the hardware
• Support Project Management department with development of product specifications and product manuals
• Interface with hardware/software design and development
Skills/Qualifications:
