This is without doubt, one of the best Audio roles around!

There’s huge scope for impact in this role, with ownership and autonomy in both musical and audio design. Alongside the Head of Audio, you will be defining the vision for sound in mm’s varied portfolio of projects. The Senior Principal Sound designer will take ownership of a product area, assess its needs, create the necessary sounds, and guide any additional work that needs to be taken on (e.g. handling a session musician or VO recording session etc.) They will be a representative of the audio discipline within the studio and in the wider world.

• An intimate knowledge of sound recording, mixing, editing etc. They should have experience recording different material, and an understanding of all the practicalities involved.
• Demonstrable experience and knowledge of using at least one game sound implementation system. E.g. Wwise, FMOD, Unity, Unreal etc.
• A working knowledge of an in-game implementation system or have used some form of scripting language. Experience with logic is an important part of this role.
• Demonstrable knowledge using systems like UE4 Blueprints, Max MSP or other visual logic systems is highly desirable.
• Show you understand the purpose of Dreams, the principles behind it and the way it functions. Experience with Dreams is an advantage but not essential.
