•Development of automotive sound reproduction technologies
•Development of a sound processing engine
•Development of sound production tools

The sound programmer is responsible for the development of the programming relating to music and sound effects.
In Gran Turismo, the sound of an automobile has the important function of providing information to the driver that will aid in their driving operation.
The sound program creates engine and tire sound effects that reflect the vehicle simulation.
The reproduction sound for a large variety of car models and engines, and the recreation of complex changes in sound is a challenging theme.
In environmental sound, soundscapes that represent the beauty of nature, or a scene in a city, or the excitement and speed during a race, will be recreated.
You will be developing programs that will render audio based on 3D spacial information, audio signal processing programs for applying acoustic effects, and production tools to be used by sound designers.
With the advent of computing technologies in recent years, a high level real time processing has become a reality, and game related audio is entering an exciting era.
We are looking for motivated candidates who have an interest in the latest technologies, and have the skills to implement these in the audio expressions within our game.
