Are you motivated by turning advanced hearing-aid concepts into robust, testable technologies? We are looking for a Senior Research Engineer to develop and improve verification and validation methods, tools and test setups for future hearing aids.

In the role of Senior Research Engineer, you will contribute to our purpose of Bringing People Closer. You will combine practical engineering with advanced measurement science to help ensure that laboratory results reflect real-life listening experiences for people with hearing loss.

The Team you will be part of:
You will join a research and development environment working to advance future hearing-aid technologies. The team brings together expertise across audiology, acoustics, hardware, algorithms and measurement science to solve real-life communication challenges.

We value curiosity, quality outcomes and collaboration. Together with local and global colleagues, you will translate research concepts into robust test methods and technical recommendations that can support technology development.

Your contribution is appreciated, and you will:

• Develop, maintain and improve verification and validation methods, tools and test setups for hearing-aid technologies
• Build, modify and troubleshoot prototype-based test solutions, including electronics work, hearing-aid assembly, soldering and test-fixture development
• Design and conduct electroacoustic, acoustic and objective performance measurements of hearing-aid prototypes, algorithms and processing platforms
• Develop advanced three-dimensional and spatial-audio measurement methods to assess hearing-aid performance in realistic sound environments
• Use simulations, physical test environments and real-world scenarios to connect laboratory results with everyday listening performance
• Plan, support and analyse participant studies, including evaluations of speech understanding, sound quality, listening effort and spatial hearing
• Apply data-driven and AI-based methods to automate testing, analyse results and provide clear technical recommendations to research and development colleagues

To perform well in the role, we imagine that you:

• Hold a degree in electrical engineering, acoustics, audio engineering, physics, measurement science, mechatronics or a related technical discipline; a PhD is welcome but not required
• Bring practical experience with test development, verification, validation or performance evaluation of complex electronic, acoustic or embedded systems
• Are comfortable working directly with electronics, prototypes, measurement equipment and laboratory test setups, including assembly, soldering and troubleshooting
• Understand electroacoustic and acoustic measurements and are interested in advanced spatial audio, three-dimensional sound or simulated sound-environment testing
• Can analyse complex data, communicate technical results and uncertainty clearly, and work well with colleagues across research, audiology, hardware and algorithm development; experience with hearing-aid technology, test automation, simulations, participant studies, AI-enabled data analysis or audio signal processing is beneficial

We pride ourselves on encouraging flexible work whenever possible. We trust our people to fulfill their responsibilities, to know when in-person collaboration is better than hybrid, and to be present when it's needed most.

We encourage you to apply
Even if you don’t match all the above-mentioned skills, we welcome your application if you think you have transferable skills. We highly value a mindset and motivation that align with our core values, to not only ensure growth for you, but for your team and the wider GN organization as well.

We are focused on an inclusive recruitment process
All applicants will receive equal consideration for employment. As such, we encourage you to submit your CV without a photo to ensure an equal and fair application process.

Should you have any special requirements for the interview, please let the Hiring Manager know upon accepting the invitation to the interview.

How to apply?
Use the ‘APPLY’ link no later than September 29. Applications are assessed continuously, so do not wait to send yours.

Feel free to only submit your up-to-date CV, including a few sentences outlining your motivation for applying.

Join us in bringing people closer
GN brings people closer through our advanced intelligent hearing, audio, video, and gaming solutions. Inspired by people and motivated by innovation, we deliver technology that enhances the senses of hearing and sight. We enable people with hearing loss to overcome real-life problems, improve communication and collaboration for businesses, and provide great experiences for audio and gaming users.

GN Store Nord A/S has entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of GN’s Hearing business to Amplifon S.p.A. to create a global leader in audiology. For GN Group, this creates an opportunity to expand our position in the large audio and video peripherals markets. Read more about the announcement here:
