RF Communications Engineer (fmd)

Stellenbeschreibung:

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.
