Acoustic Measurements Designed test and analysis systems for acoustic verification and validation. (Microphones(primarily MEMS), headphones and mobile speaker products)Consulting on product design regarding acoustic performance and validation for industrial design in order to define and determine choice of drivers and microphones for physical space, thermal, humidity, water vapor limits and AOP for specific applications. Created Audio Precision scripts for acoustic testing where tests would be utilized repeatedly by many users.Test and analysis of competitor products for acoustic performance in fidelity, both in A2DP and in HFP modes for intelligibility as well as subjective and objective acoustic characteristics.Assisted DSP teams on correct application of DSP filtering for calibration, linear and non-linear frequency shaping and ANC applications (Feed forward and Feedback types)Worked directly with programmers on developing proprietary scripts for specific types of acoustic testing. (Polar, distortion, and intelligibility)Designing test systems that characterize directivity patterns for beam-forming arrays in microphones and loudspeakers and determining the subjective and objective attributes of these systems.
