Game Audio Developer (Wwise)

We’re looking for an experienced Game Audio Developer to design and implement a reusable airport ambience audio system using Audiokinetic Wwise for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020 / 2024).

This is a technical audio systems role — not music composition. You will focus on building scalable, data-driven audio behaviours that react dynamically to the environment, camera, and player context.

✈️ Project Overview

The goal is to create a modular, reusable airport ambience system that can be deployed across multiple airports and locations within MSFS.
The system should adapt intelligently to:

• Player position and proximity
• Camera view (cockpit / external / drone)
• Weather conditions
• Time of day
• Airport zones and activity levels

🛠 Responsibilities

• Design and build Wwise sound banks and audio hierarchies for airport ambience
• Implement spatialized and proximity-based audio (3D positioning, attenuation, occlusion)
• Create state- and parameter-driven audio logic (RTPCs, switches, states)
• Implement dynamic ambience variation based on:
  • Location / zones (terminal, apron, runway, ramp)
  • Weather (wind, rain, storms)
  • Time of day (day/night transitions)
  • Camera mode (interior vs exterior)
• Optimize audio performance and memory usage
• Deliver a clean, documented system that can be reused and extended
• Collaborate with developers and designers to ensure seamless integration

✅ Required Experience

• Strong experience with Audiokinetic Wwise
• Proven background in technical sound design or audio programming
• Experience implementing interactive audio systems in games or simulations
• Solid understanding of 3D audio, spatialization, attenuation, and RTPC workflows
• Ability to design scalable, reusable audio systems, not one-off sound setups

⭐ Nice to Have

• Experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020 / 2024)
• Experience with Unity or Unreal Engine audio pipelines
• Familiarity with simulation or realism-focused projects
• Experience optimizing audio for performance in large-scale environments
• Knowledge of aviation soundscapes or airport operations

📦 Deliverables

• Fully implemented Wwise airport ambience audio system
• Organized Wwise project with sound banks and documentation
• Integration-ready setup suitable for MSFS
• Basic usage guide for extending the system to new airports

🕒 Engagement Details

• Project-based contract with potential for long-term collaboration
• Remote-friendly
• Flexible schedule with clear milestones
