Medical Device Environment

We are looking for an experienced UX Sound Designer for a short, clearly scoped project within an international, highly regulated device environment. The context is an environment, where background noise levels are high and safety is the primary constraint.

The goal is to create a sound architecture that supports safety, usability, and clarity. Challenges that have been identified in the current product sound environment:

notifications and feedback sounds do not differentiate clearly enough
some sounds risk being confused with critical alarms
usability and cognitive load require optimization

The goal is to design, amongst others:

a clear sound category structure (alarms vs. feedback vs. touch sounds)
positive and negative feedback signals
on/off interaction sounds
a cohesive sound system that does not compete with critical alarm signals

You will act as a senior-level expert who defines the principles of the sound architecture, conceptualizes and produces the required sounds, justifies design decisions from a usability and safety perspective and documents design principles for implementation teams. Although the scope is focused, the context is complex and therefore, we are looking for an experienced professional.
