I am not sure where to post this thread, so maybe the moderators can move it to where it should be.
Due to the fabulous state of my current industry of employment (automotive supplier whose company is currently bankrupt along with many others), I am considering a career change. I have always been interested in home audio product design, speakers, components, etc. I am an Industrial Designer with a BFA from the venerable College for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI. What I am wondering is, do any of the high-end speaker manufacturers employ industrial designers, or is it all engineers? I am sure that the component side must use designers, but my interest really lies with the speakers. Is this something that I would need acoustical/electrical engineering education to do? Where can I find out any info about careers in audio product design? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
