ABOUT US

At Cambridge Audio, we’re a different sort of global audio company, resolutely independent and always authentic.
We’re on a mission to break down barriers to top-tier sound, so it’s not the exception, but the norm. It’s what we’ve been doing for over 50 years, and we’re only just getting started.
Our award-winning product lineup includes headphones, lifestyle audio, and premium hi-fi. We also own StreamMagic, our own music streaming platform, plus a music venue and bar called Melomania at our London Bridge HQ.
Work at Cambridge Audio is more than just a job. We’re passionate about what we do, and have fun doing it, developing our skills and careers, plus those of the colleagues around us. Learn more at https://cambridgeaudio.com/about-us

REQUIREMENTS

You might be studying or recently graduated in acoustics, audio engineering, electronics, or mechanical engineering or similar—but most importantly, you’re:

• Passionate about loudspeakers, sound, and acoustic design.
• Have undertaken DIY or university loudspeaker projects.
• Familiar with tools like REW, Flowstone, MATLAB/Octave, for acoustic measurement and analysis.
• Comfortable with 3D CAD tools (e.g. FreeCAD, Fusion 360, SolidWorks) and ideally some 3D printing experience.
• Has a foundational understanding of DSP (filters, crossovers, EQs).
• Handy with tools – soldering, modding HW, assembling loudspeakers.
• Always asking: How can we make this better, faster, smarter?
• (Bonus) Hands-on experience with active speakers.
• (Bonus) Understanding of transducer specifications, waveguides, or other enclosure topologies.
• (Bonus) Exposure to embedded audio systems (e.g. Raspberry Pi, DSP boards, PCB prototyping).

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated intern to join our product development team. This hands-on role involves supporting various acoustic R&D projects to help deliver against our acoustics roadmap, working alongside experienced engineers to test, iterate, and refine new loudspeaker technologies. In addition, more general product development tasks would be required.
You’ll be helping shape the future of active loudspeakers—making them sound better and perform beyond expectations. Expect a mix of simulation, physical prototyping, acoustic testing, mechanical design, and signal processing work. If you love loudspeakers and have an engineering mindset, this could be a perfect fit.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Assisting with prototyping and research tasks across our acoustics roadmap.
• Supporting loudspeaker prototype builds.
• Running acoustic measurements to characterise objective performance.
• Perform listening tests to evaluate subjective performance.
• Testing and iterating on physical concepts to validate performance improvements.
• Running simulations and helping analyse DSP implementations.
• Documenting experiments, findings, and observations clearly.
• Working alongside experienced engineers and designers, contributing your own ideas.
