Audio engineers use technologies, some in creative ways, to produce sound for films, radio, music, electronic products and computer games. Alternatively, the term audio engineer may refer to a professional scientist or engineer holding a B.Sc or M.Sc. degree who designs, develops and builds new audio technologies working within the field of acoustical engineering or telecommunications engineering. Audio engineering is concerned with the creative and practical aspects of sound, including speech and music, as well as the development of new audio technologies and the advanced scientific understanding of audible sound. Audio engineers working in research and development may have backgrounds in areas such as acoustics, computer science, broadcast engineering, physics, acoustical engineering and electronics. Audio engineering courses at universities and colleges fall into two broad categories: first, training in the creative use of audio as a sound engineer. Second, scientific or engineering training, which allows students to devote their careers to developing audio technologies. Such courses provide a good understanding of the technologies, although they do not have enough mathematical and scientific content to enable a job in audio research and development or the acoustics industry.

Audio engineers in research and development usually hold a bachelor's degree or more advanced certification in acoustics, physics, computer science, or another engineering discipline. They may work in acoustical consultancy, specializing in architectural acoustics. Alternatively, they may work for audio companies (for example, as headphone manufacturers), in other industries that require audio expertise (for example, in the automotive industry), or conduct research at a university. Some positions, such as faculty membership, require a PhD. In German, the term Toningenieur refers to an audio engineer who designs, builds and repairs audio systems.
