Loudspeaker Crossover Design and R D Location:
Provo, Utah (On-site)Company:
Wilson Audio Specialties, Inc. Position Summary Wilson Audio Specialties is seeking an exceptionally motivated Acoustic & Electrical Engineer to join our Research & Development team. This critical role focuses on the design and optimization of high-performance loudspeaker crossover networks while contributing broadly to new product development, driver evaluation, proprietary component engineering, and manufacturing support. You will play a key role in developing the world's finest high-performance, loudspeakers, ensuring seamless driver integration, time coherence, and superior frequency response through advanced modeling and simulation. Working collaboratively with engineering and manufacturing teams, you will develop innovative technologies, refine existing products, and ensure seamless transition from concept to production. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with a genuine passion for audio, exceptional attention to detail, and a growth-oriented mindset. Key Responsibilities Loudspeaker Crossover Design Design, model, and optimize passive crossover networks (2-way, 3-way, and more complex topologies) using tools such as LTspice, LspCAD, FINE
X-over, VituixCAD, or equivalent. Perform lumped-parameter modeling, impedance analysis, and acoustic simulations to achieve target Linkwitz-Riley, Butterworth, or custom filter alignments. Analyze and optimize crossover topologies, component interactions, impedance behavior, phase and time relationships, and frequency response to achieve superior system performance. Conduct comprehensive measurements (frequency response, anechoic, near-field, polar response) using systems like FuzzMeasure, Audio Precision, Klippel, CLIO, etc. to validate and refine crossovers. Analyze and mitigate distortion, group delay, and phase issues across the listening window. Create and maintain comprehensive crossover schematics, documentation, and design revisions. Driver Research, Evaluation & Development Evaluate loudspeaker drivers through rigorous objective measurements and critical listening. Conduct electroacoustic measurements—including frequency response, impedance, distortion, sensitivity, and time-domain analysis—using Bruel & Kjaer (B&K) and other laboratory instrumentation. Identify opportunities for driver improvements, modifications, and system integration. Collaborate with driver manufacturers during development of proprietary transducers. Research emerging driver technologies and materials, providing technical insight into future loudspeaker designs. Optimize enclosure ports and vents for each unique system design and application. Inductor Engineering & Manufacturing Participate in the design, development, and ongoing refinement of Wilson Audio's proprietary inductor technologies. Help lead the development and in-house manufacturing of precision loudspeaker inductors. Develop manufacturing methods, quality standards, testing procedures, and documentation for inductor production. Support continuous improvement initiatives related to passive component manufacturing. CAD & Manufacturing Support- Create tests and protocols for drivers, electronics, and final loudspeaker assemblies for the QA testing lab.
- Develop proficiency in SolidWorks and other CAD software used within the engineering department.
- Produce engineering models, drawings, and documentation that facilitate efficient communication between engineering and manufacturing.
- Provide engineering support to manufacturing throughout prototype and production phases.
- Collaborate closely with R D team to develop fixtures, processes, and documentation that improve manufacturing quality, efficiency, and repeatability.
- Work collaboratively across departments to ensure engineering intent is accurately translated into production.
- Commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and quality in every aspect of the work.
