Behind the Scenes at Dolby 

Management

"We have had tremendous growth in the past ten years. I am honored to work with the many talented people at Dolby. Throughout my 25-year tenure with Dolby, I have built relationships which have impacted my life professionally and personally."
- Bill Jasper, President

Research and Development

"A creative atmosphere exists in Dolby's R&D group which allows individuals to express ideas in imaginative ways, while retaining the ability to work together to make "blue sky" ideas a reality."

"I have truly enjoyed the variation in work fostered by this environment. Also, I consider it quite an honor to work alongside some of the best in the field of audio signal processing."

Product Engineering

"I like working with intelligent, motivated people."

"Dolby encourages an entrepreneurial spirit and creativity. For example, some engineers create patents under the Dolby name and their inventions are supported 100 percent."

Licensing

"The term 'open door policy' really applies here."

"I've found the licensing group here at Dolby to be a high-energy environment with a premium on hard work and hard play."

"Dolby still maintains a friendly, small company feel."

Finance and Administration

"It's great to work on interdepartmental teams where I can learn from people with skills and experience different from my own."

"Dolby is small enough that I can see that the work that I do makes a difference."

"It seems that people who come to work at Dolby are not looking for a job, they are searching for a career."

"Our employees are our customers. We tailor to their needs as we do to the needs of our external customers. The employees contribute to Dolby because they feel like they are more than just employees; they are part of the corporate objectives."

Manufacturing

"Having only been with Dolby for a short while, I have been duly impressed by the consistently high level of professionalism and competence displayed by my fellow employees."

"Everyone knows his or her job and does it well, from the operators on the production floor through the supervisors and managers. The emphasis on quality is especially refreshing, too."

Marketing

"One of our goals is to raise the quality of TV sound to allow more consumers to experience programs as the directors originally intended."

"By working with broadcasters and content creators, we are helping to develop a broadcast infrastructure that allows programs to reach consumers with full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital audio."
