Job Summary
Founded in late 2024 Omnisent is a Munich-based acoustic AI company developing next-generation sensing systems that turn sound into real-time intelligence. The team combines deep expertise in physics machine learning and mechanical engineering united by a mission to unlock the untapped intelligence of the acoustic world.
At the core of Omnisents innovation are ultra-low-power sonic devices and the companys Large Acoustic Model (LAM) a foundation model trained on the complex world of non-speech audio. This unique combination enables the real-time detection classification and localization of acoustic events whether identifying drones in contested airspace or tracing air leaks in manufacturing systems.
Tasks
- Architect the RF backbone of a long-lived distributed sensing network for low-power wide-area acoustic monitoring.
- Design and optimize sub-GHz / LPWAN communication for multi-year battery operation across large distributed deployments.
- Develop robust mesh or hybrid meshLPWAN strategies with self-healing redundancy and resilience in challenging environments.
- Design and integrate embedded antennas into compact ruggedized housings collaborating closely with mechanical and electronics teams.
- Implement interference-tolerant communication techniques suitable for real-world noisy RF conditions.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with ETSI/FCC/RED and regional spectrum requirements.
- Co-design communication strategies with firmware teams to maximize power efficiency and reliability.
- Lead RF prototyping and validation including lab testing and DFM-focused iteration for smooth production handoff.
- Collaborate with EMS partners on manufacturing test planning and quality optimization.
- Conduct real-world RF testing to evaluate range performance and environmental impacts.
- Explore emerging LPWAN and sub-GHz technologies to keep Omnisents platform at the forefront of innovation.
