Job description
Research Scientist V Onsite Summary:
Our Research Audio team is advancing the science of augmented hearing: technology that helps people hear better in the situations where hearing is hardest. We are looking for a Research Scientist with deep hearing-science expertise to lead and execute research programs in hearing-assistive technology. In this role you will drive hearing-science research end to end: setting direction for your own studies, executing established research programs, and evaluating signal-processing approaches against human performance. This is a hands-on role. You will design and run listening studies, prototype and assess algorithms, and translate findings into direction for future hearing technologies.
Responsibilities
Define and drive research direction for hearing-science programs, independently scoping and executing studies that advance hearing-assistive technology
Execute established research plans through design, data collection, analysis, and reporting
Design and run listening experiments and human-subject studies, including participant protocols, stimulus design, and psychoacoustic measurement
Prototype, tune, and evaluate hearing-assistive signal-processing algorithms and fitting approaches
Analyze experimental data and communicate findings clearly to research, engineering, and product partners
Collaborate onsite with audio researchers, hardware engineers, and software engineers to translate scientific results into system requirements
Document methods and results to ensure continuity and knowledge transfer across the team
Requirements
PhD in Hearing Science, Audiology, Auditory Neuroscience, Acoustics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical research experience
Demonstrated domain expertise in hearing science and psychoacoustics
Hands‑on experience with hearing‑aid or hearing‑assistive signal processing (e.g., amplification, compression, noise reduction, directionality, feedback management) and fitting approaches
Experience designing, executing, and analyzing human‑subject listening studies
Technical proficiency sufficient to independently prototype algorithms and experimental tooling (e.g., MATLAB, Python)
Proven experience driving research direction independently with minimal supervision
Available to work onsite in Redmond, WA
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with speech-in-noise measurement and speech intelligibility enhancement
Experience with wearable or head‑worn audio devices
Experience with microphone arrays, beamforming, or spatial audio processing
Track record of publications in hearing science, audiology, or audio signal processing venues
Experience partnering with cross‑functional hardware and software teams in a product research environment
Pay range is $78- $83 per hour with full benefits available, including paid time off, medical/dental/vision/life insurance, 401K, parental leave, and more. Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several US geographic markets. Pay is based on several factors including market location and may vary depending on job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience.
