Jobs in Germany
Omnisent is pioneering scalable acoustic sensing powered by AI — transforming audio into real-time intelligence.
We build hardware + software tailored for acoustic data, designed to extract insights from complex acoustic signals. Our proprietary ultra-low-power sonic devices capture and process acoustic signals in real-time, training what we call a Large Acoustic Model (LAM) — our foundation model built to decode the rich, messy, and untapped world of non-speech audio.
We’re starting with the manufacturing industry, applying our tech to compressed air systems — one of the most overlooked sources of energy waste. From there, we’re expanding into energy, defense, space, and smart cities — sectors where sound is the next frontier.
Tasks
Mechanical Design & Prototyping
- Design, make, and test an innovative sensor at the heart of our acoustic platform, in close collaboration with the technical lead.
- Perform dynamics and vibrations calculations and use FEA methods to simulate acoustic and mechanical responses.
- Design microphone arrays to characterize physical parameters of various geometries and environments.
- Develop test setups to characterize acoustic transmission through different materials (e.g., air, walls, machinery).
- Prototype an enclosure for an IoT sensor using additive methods like FDM, SLS, SLA.
- Select materials and fastening methods for tool-less assembly in harsh environments with vibrational loads and EM noise.
Device Integration
- Collaborate with electronic, mechatronics and signal processing engineers to ensure proper mechanical integration of acoustic devices and PCBs and accessories.
- Iterate and enable the physical systems to adapt seemlessly to changing real-world requirements to develop ground-breaking technology as we wander the quest to the ultimate solution together.
Certification & Documentation:
- Prepare hardware for environmental and regulatory certifications, including IP (e.g., IP67/IP68), CE marking, and mechanical stress testing (vibration, shock, temperature cycling)
- Document designs and key learnings throughout the development lifecycle, building our collective knowledge base.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Work closely with firmware, hardware, and AI teams to ensure tight integration between mechanical, electrical, and software components.
- Support prototype development, functional testing, and iterative field deployment at our ongoing pilots in-field.
- Assist in coordinating research collaborations with test labs and well-renowned institutes to translate findings into the mechanical systems of our sensor.
Requirements
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Acoustic Engineering or a related field, Product Design or 2+ years of relevant industry experience
- 2+ years of experience in mechanical design or electromechanical systems
- Experience with CAD tools (e.g., OnShape, Fusion 360, or similar) for 3D modeling, and rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing
- Understanding of acoustic principles and dynamical systems as well as material selection and manufacturing methods for robust mechanical systems
- Fluency in English
- Valid EU work permit
Preferred Qualifications:
- Master’s or PhD in a technical discipline (e.g., Mechanical Engineering, Acoustic Engineering, or a relared field)
- 4+ years of experience designing dynamical mechanical devices, with focus on vibration, dynamic behaviour, and acoustic performance
- Familiarity with certification requirements for device housings, including IP ratings (e.g., IP67), CE compliance, and environmental standards (e.g., vibration, shock, temperature)
- Familiarity with acoustic and fluid simulation and testing tools, as well as mechanical FEA (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL, or equivalent) and CFD tools
- German language skills
Join us in redefining how the world listens, understands, and responds through intelligent acoustic sensing.
