Big Huge Games, known for Rise of Legends and Age of Empires, is putting out a call for a new Audio Director:

Big Huge Games’ recent acquisition by THQ has allowed us to move forward with our Secret Project #2! Now that we’re fully underway, we need an experienced, on-site Audio Director to help us make a game where the sound will be even more important than it usually is to a game’s success. What is this Secret Project #2, you might reasonably ask? It’s a fun, quirky, very original “high concept” Wii game that we’d love to show you in the context of an onsite interview (with signed NDA, of course).

Requirements:

• Self-starter with a vision for Big and Huge sound design in console games
• 5+ years of industry experience designing sound for games with high review scores for audio
• Production, scheduling and asset management skills
• Power user of current generation audio editing software and DAW’s including some combination of Sonic Foundry (Sound Forge/Vegas/Acid), ProTools, WaveLab, and BIAS Peak.
• Experience with scripting tools and game specific middleware is a big plus. Especially FMOD. XACT and Miles are also applicable.
• An overall balance of technical and creative skills. Understands the fundamentals of acoustics, compression and real-world application of those skills in mass media.
• Preferably an education degree in audio engineering or music.

Resumes and portfolios should be sent to audiojobs@bighugegames.com.
