Senior transducer engineer

230 East Ohio Street Suite 210 Chicago, IL 60611 Acoustic Transducer Engineer at Resonado Labs Company Overview | Resonado Labs is an American multinational technology company that designs and licenses proprietary speaker driver technologies to brands and manufacturers. The company’s core pursuit is to develop speaker driver architecture that achieves optimal form and function, without compromise. Resonado’s flagship product, Flat Core Speaker™ (FCS™) technology, is the first manifestation of that pursuit.

FCS technology is a novel type of electrodynamic speaker driver engineered with a low depth structural profile and high diaphragm aspect ratio as an alternative to the conventional conical driver type to meet the rising demand for innovative, space-efficient product designs without experiencing tradeoffs in sound performance. Developed to be completely scalable, FCS technology is an audio component solution that can be implemented in products ranging from consumer electronics, to vehicles, to architectural spaces.
