B.S. in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university or equivalent experience in a related field.
2–6 years hands-on professional experience in test and verification for consumer electronics. Target range, not a hard requirement.
Strong understanding of verification and validation at the system level, in addition to component and board level.
Acoustic verification is the primary focus of this role: anechoic chambers, head and torso simulators, microphone and speaker measurement, and hands-on execution of acoustic validation tests.
Acoustic test development: translating a requirement into a validation test, establishing that the measurement method is sound, and documenting the procedure for repeatable execution by others.
Audio and acoustic analysis platforms:
Audio Precision, Listen Inc. Sound Check, HEAD acoustics ACQUA / Lab Core.
Audio electronics verification at the board level — speakers, microphones, codecs, amplifiers.
Measurement rigor: calibration, noise floor, fixture and positioning effects, repeatability, measurement uncertainty.
Able to create, modify, interpret, review, and execute test plans, and guide others through them.
Low-speed interfaces as used in wearable consumer devices: I2C, I3C, SPI, UART, GPIO, and audio interfaces (I2S / TDM). Register-level configuration from device datasheets.
Bench instrumentation: oscilloscope, multimeter, power supply, logic analyzer.
Root cause analysis and failure diagnostics, including isolating whether a failure originates in the electrical path, the transducer, or the fixture.
Written communication: ability to write test procedures, reports, and maintain day-to-day coordination with teams across multiple sites and time zones.
On-site in Redmond, WA. Not open to fully remote work.
Travel as needed; access to reliable transportation required.
