Sound Designer
#SDV2840
DFAD is seeking a talented Sound Designer with great taste and proven experience in video game audio. You should have a strong background in designing sound for vehicles, creatures, editing and processing dialogue for both gameplay and cinematics. While you won’t be responsible for full technical implementation, you must understand how to integrate sound into game engines, prepare audio assets, and work with FPS in-game VOIP systems and proximity chat. In this role, you'll design and polish audio that can be cartoony or realistic. You'll work with our source recordings or record sources from scratch if needed. While you might sometimes help with studio maintenance or admin tasks, your main focus is sound design and supporting the audio team. If you’re passionate about game audio, have hands-on experience, and thrive in fast-paced environments, get in touch.
Responsibilities (what you will do):
- Record, design, and mix sounds for vehicles, weapons, and gameplay elements.
- Quickly iterate on audio ideas with audio directors and creative leads.
- Prepare and organize audio assets for game pipelines (using spreadsheets).
- Edit and refine dialogue recordings.
Minimum Qualifications (who you are):
- A deep passion for gaming, with extensive knowledge of game mechanics and a drive to push the industry forward.
- 7+ years of sound design experience in the games industry, with at least one shipped midcore/AA title.
- Proficient in Wwise and DAWs (Reaper, Pro Tools).
- Strong understanding of signal processing, modular synths, and recording techniques.
- Able to manage remote workflows and collaborate with distributed teams.
- Excellent written and verbal English.
- Available during North American PST morning business hours.
- Proven ability to follow and maintain strict security protocols.
- Experience with sound design for scripted, story-based media
