Research & Development – Hardware-/Software-EngineeringThe Future of Audio sounds like you
Apply nowTinkering, tinkering, testing - as part of our development teams, we are looking for people who are passionate about (further) developing our products and supporting the transformation to a digitally oriented, ecosystem-based company. And we are looking for colleagues who are not narrow-minded with blinkers on, but think in terms of systems and solutions. In Research and Development, you will combine hardware, software and services and contribute to creating tangible, visible and audible results that touch millions of people - whether in the studio, in the conference room or on stage.
Designing the future of audio
In Research & Development, you will work in multidisciplinary teams on products, systems and system components for professional audio applications and business communications as part of a holistic development process. This includes wired and wireless microphone and monitoring solutions in the areas of broadcasting, live events, studio and conference systems.
In addition to our Innovation Campus at the company headquarters near Hanover, we have further development sites in Berlin (Georg Neumann), Duisburg (Sennheiser Entwicklungs GmbH), Hamburg (Sennheiser Streaming Technologies), Düsseldorf (Dear Reality) and Puidoux/Switzerland (Merging Technologies).
Discover suitable opportunities for you in the following areas, for example:
-
Software development & analysis
-
Embedded software & firmware engineering
-
Digital signal processing (DSP) for audio and high-frequency transmission technology
-

What is your role at Sennheiser?
As a holder of a PhD in Electrical Engineering, I am currently employed as a Research Engineer within R&D at Sennheiser, based at our headquarters in Wedemark, Germany, near Hanover. Our team's role is to assess the potential of emerging technologies for their potential application in Sennheiser's product lines, with my particular expertise lying in wired and wireless transmission technologies. A key aspect of our work is the creation of prototypes, demonstrators, and proof-of-concepts to test the feasibility and desirability of innovative ideas.
What drives you professionally?
Generally, I am driven by my passion for discovering and understanding new things on all kinds of abstraction levels, from smallest technical detail to world-spanning cloud architectures. And I love doing that together with colleagues. In my experience, best ideas are almost always the result of joint reflection by clever people.
What fascinates you about the products, the industry?
I have always been a music enthusiast. I spend a lot of my time on listening to music, while always trying to discover new sounds. For me, an important element of that is live music. I love going to concerts, for which Hanover is a great location since we have a very active music scene, with many diverse clubs from smallest cellars to stadiums. Technology is an important factor in music production, whether live or offline. How cool is that, to see an international artist use our products?
What does "Future of Audio" mean to you?
The Future of Audio gets right to the heart of my job as a research engineer. Our team is actively involved in developing technologies, tools and workflows that musicians might use in 5 to 10 years. This is particularly exciting, as we need to have exceptional understanding of today's audio productions, in order to work towards an uncertain future.
