In this Electro-Acoustics Engineering Co-Op, you’ll work side-by-side with experienced design, development, and research engineers to help create the next generation of professional loudspeakers and audio systems. Over two consecutive semesters, you’ll get hands-on experience with the entire product-development process—from the first prototype and lab measurement to analysis, troubleshooting, refinement, and ultimately bringing a market-leading product to life.
This isn’t a co-op where you spend your days watching from the sidelines. You’ll be in the lab, building, measuring, analyzing data, and solving problems.
Your work may revolve around a primary engineering project, but you can expect plenty of variety along the way.
What you'd do
- Constructing and modifying prototype loudspeaker systems.
- Performing acoustical, electrical, mechanical, thermal, and materials testing.
- Designing and building new test systems, including hardware, software, data acquisition, and measurement setups.
- Maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing existing test equipment and systems.
- Soldering, wiring, assembling components, and making mechanical repairs.
- Assembling loudspeaker cabinets and moving loudspeaker systems between test rooms and facilities.
- Performing acoustic measurements using microphones, anechoic chambers, impedance measurement systems, and other specialized equipment.
- Setting up experiments and figuring out creative ways to measure things that don't have an obvious measurement method.Analyze, Simulate & Solve Problems
- Analyze acoustic, electrical, mechanical, and electro-magnetic test data.
- Use simulation tools to predict and understand loudspeaker performance.
What they want
- Engineering students at a Sophomore, Junior, or Senior level
- Familiarity with Thiele/Small parameters and loudspeaker design.
- Programming experience with MATLAB, Simulink, LabVIEW, Python, or similar tools.
- Experience with live sound reinforcement, PA systems, DJ equipment, mixers, effects, or live music.
- Strong critical listening skills and an interest in music production, recording, mixing, mastering, or loudspeaker evaluation.
- Knowledge of signal processing and frequency/time-domain analysis.
- Experience designing passive crossover networks.
- Familiarity with thermal sciences, heat transfer, or fluid dynamics.
- CAD experience and an interest in mechanical design.
- Hands-on experience with woodworking, hand tools, soldering, wiring, or building things.
