## Job description

info_outline About the job Join a new, high-velocity "startup-style" Applied Research team within TechEng dedicated to transformational audio bets for the next decade of Pixel and Buds. You will lead exploratory, non-timeline-based research into Open Ear Inteligibility and Superhuman Hearing for humans and machines. We operate under a "Shielded but Connected" model—protected from the gravitational pull of daily product cycles to focus on pure feasibility and first-principles innovation.

In this role, you will adopt an impact-first philosophy, ruthlessly prioritizing massive user differentiation to prove the "impossible" and define the foundational elements of agentic audio experiences. If you are an audio architect who grows in lean environments and wants to build the future of sound, this is your team. Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
