Audio Engineering Expert (SME)

Audio Engineering Expert (SME) — 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.

Components

• Technical Standard Setting, Quality Control, and Process Improvement – 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; review project outputs against technical standards; perform structured QA passes; return files to contractors with precise remediation notes; provide advisory input on recording pipelines, mic requirements, and room treatment; handle specifications changes and edge‑case scenarios; curate example libraries of gold‑standard clips to calibrate teams.
• Talent Vetting & Output Improvement – Participate in vetting and assessing technical contractor talent; review sample work and provide precise written feedback; create targeted training or calibration resources (mic technique, gain staging, room treatment, noise mitigation).
• Project Delivery Support – Advise on technical scoping and requirements; provide expert guidance for edge cases; contribute to post‑project reviews; identify and summarize client model observations; build dashboards or trackers; conduct post‑mortems and propose process tweaks.
