Sound like a match? Turn Me Up Games is looking for a Sound Designer to join us!

What We Need:

Turn Me Up is looking for a dedicated and creative Sound Designer with a background in game development. This role will work within the Audio Team, spearheading the sound design pipeline on a AA title with support from the Audio and Production teams.

The ideal candidate has experience working with DAW-focused workflows, sound design for games, a basic understanding of both field and studio recording techniques, and a desire to delve into audio systems design within a game engine. 

What You’ll Do:

• Spearhead the sound design pipeline, from identifying needs and scoping to final implementation.
• Utilize both creative and technical skills to design and implement sounds within Unreal Engine.
• Work with the Audio Supervisor to build a cohesive sound design "vision" for the current project.
• Oversee the sound design and implementation processes into Unreal Engine 5, while assisting the Audio Team with voiceover editing as needed.
• Internalize the sound design goals of our Design and Creative teams, and ensure those goals are met throughout the sound design and implementation process.
• Gain mastery of Unreal Engine 5's audio systems, as well as Unreal Engine audio implementation techniques and audio systems design.
• Take ownership of sound design asset lists, and work with the Production Department to ensure needed sound design assets are delivered according to an agreed-upon schedule.
• Identify which aspects of sounds are best designed in a traditional DAW vs Unreal Engine.
• Assist with outlining, organizing and running SFX recording sessions as needed.

What Would Make a Strong Candidate:

• Strong experience with DAW-focused audio workflows. 
  • Knowledge of Cockos Reaper software is a plus, but not required.
• Understanding of field and studio recording techniques.
• Foundational understanding of game audio. 
• Desire to delve into "Technical Sound Designer"-type responsibilities, such as audio systems design within a game engine, is critical.
• Basic understanding of music composition fundamentals.
• Innovative and adaptable; ready to suggest improvements to both features and workflow.
• Strong drive to grow, learn, and assist the Audio Team in refining processes.
• Ability to multitask and stay detail oriented, without losing the plot.
• Knows when to ask for help, and when to pause and re-evaluate if issues arise during a session.
• Highly organized, with documentation skills and the ability to work with a large amount of audio assets.
• Proficient communicator and a positive presence in the audio department. This position is more than just an "Audio Engineer" -- communication and soft skills are key!
• Experience with Unreal Engine 4 is ideal, but not required.

Application Requirements:

• A demo reel demonstrating relevant skills and past work.
• 1+ years experience in a professional Sound Design environment.
• Portfolio containing ideally 1+ game sound design projects, of any level.
