Loop earplugs

Junior Acoustic Engineer

Antwerp, BE Full Time

We are Loop 

Loop Earplugs is reinventing how people experience the world by enabling them to live life at their own volume. 2024 was a pivotal year at Loop – we hit 14,000,000 earplugs sold, were named ‘The Best Earplugs for Concerts’ by The New York Times, and expanded our product offering to a complete range of solutions for day and night. Oh – and not to mention making history as the first company to win Deloitte’s Fast 50 Belgium twice. 

But this is just the beginning. As we continue to develop disruptive products, we’re constantly on the lookout for the next big idea - and building a team who can make it happen.

Being a Looper means making a difference. Whatever your role, this is your stage to make a real impact and bring your ideas to life. Better yet, you’ll join a fast-growing, global team of 250+ people who are passionate, down-to-earth and eager to tackle challenges together. 

Acoustic Engineer 
 

Own acoustic measurement excellence and help drive data-driven product development. 

You’ll ensure reliable and standardized acoustic measurements across our product portfolio while supporting product teams with structured testing and analysis. All yours. If you've mastered the fundamentals of acoustic measurement and you're ready to push past the processes that slow real progress, this is where you do it. 

 

The role 

You step into ownership. You move fast and take responsibility for what you build. You focus on work that matters, not on noise that slows things down. 

As a Junior Acoustic Engineer, you help ensure that acoustic measurements across Loop’s products are reliable, repeatable, and traceable. You support product development teams through structured testing, lab operations, and data analysis that enable confident design decisions and product validation.  

 

What you’ll do (and what you don’t) 

  • You own the setup and execution of standardized acoustic measurements across development and validation activities
  • You maintain and operate acoustic lab infrastructure, including measurement fixtures, artificial ears, head and torso simulators, microphones, amplifiers, and measurement interfaces.
  • You execute measurements such as insertion loss, REAT, MIRE, frequency response, THD, Rub & Buzz, and POLQA using systems like SoundCheck
  • You develop and maintain automated measurement sequences and advanced test setups to improve repeatability and efficiency
  • You support cross-functional teams by analysing acoustic data and contributing to root cause investigations during product development
  • You don’t wait for endless approvals
  • You don’t hide behind processes
  • You don’t cruise quietly in the background 

 

How you’ll succeed 

We look for people who think big, stay curious, and aren’t afraid to go all in to make things happen. 

You’ll succeed by ensuring measurement reliability and repeatability, maintaining lab calibration traceability, and delivering clear acoustic insights that help teams validate designs and solve acoustic challenges during development.  

 

What you’ll bring 

  • You bring 1-5 years of experience in acoustic or electroacoustic measurement and testing 
  • Practical knowledge of acoustic measurement principles such as frequency response, distortion, insertion loss, Rub & Buzz, REAT, MIRE, and POLQA
  • Experience with measurement systems such as SoundCheck, Klippel, CLIO, REW, ARTA, or similar tools
  • Proficiency in Python, or equivalent tools for data analysis and visualization
  • You work independently and know when to involve others
  • You’re comfortable with change and ambiguity
  • You know when work is ready to ship, and when it can evolve
  • You want your work to matter, not just exist 

 

Loop isn’t for everyone. We might not be a match if you: 

  • Wait for direction instead of taking initiative
  • Mistake activity for impact
  • Feel uneasy when things are still taking shape
  • Prefer alignment meetings over decisions 

 

Still listening? 

Good. We are not looking for people to watch from the sidelines. Loopers step in, speak up and go for more. More firsts. More growth. More: “I can’t believe we did that.” If you are like that too, press that beautiful apply button and let’s talk. 

 

Why work at Loop 

At Loop we cut through the noise, so the work that matters actually lands. We go all in on impact, connection, and growth. And you’ll feel that the moment you walk in. You’ll know people across teams fast, because candor is care, wins are celebrated loudly, and fun is taken seriously. 

And when you go all in at work, you also go all in on life. That’s why we give you 32 vacation days, enough time to recharge, travel, or dive headfirst into whatever makes you happiest. 

 

 

Why join us? 

  • Our culture? We’re all about enabling growth by giving our team full autonomy to manage their own projects, be a thought leader, and truly make an impact on the company.
