Audio Engineering Expert (SME)

Join to apply for the Audio Engineering Expert (SME) role at Invisible Expert Marketplace

Purpose We are seeking a highly experienced audio professional consultant to serve as a consultant on AI training data projects for leading AI model builders and enterprises. Your focus will be to define success criteria, review outputs, and provide targeted guidance to improve quality and speed — directly contributing to the successful delivery of domain-specific annotated datasets that meet the highest technical standards. You will be engaged on specific projects with clearly defined deliverables, milestones, and end dates.

Responsibilities

• Define domain-specific quality success metrics (e.g., 48 kHz sample rate, 24-bit depth, mono per talent, uncompressed WAV / Linear PCM).
• Develop project-specific SOPs, QA rubrics, and reference materials for the specific purpose of meeting client technical standards.
• Review project outputs (recordings, annotations) against technical standards, flagging and correcting defects before client delivery.
• Perform structured QA passes on daily / weekly drops; flag, track, and resolve defects quickly to hit delivery deadlines.
• Return files to contractors with precise remediation notes.
• Provide advisory input on recording pipelines, mic requirements, and room treatment to meet quality benchmarks.
• Handle spec changes and edge-case scenarios — e.g., evaluation of new client codec / format requests — drafting acceptance criteria or workarounds.
• Curate example libraries of “gold standard” clips to calibrate the team and assess comparability to agreed sample references.
