Summary:
Company is seeking an acoustic test engineer to execute hands-on acoustic measurements on wearable audio devices and document the results in our quality records system. The role involves running an established, documented test process on a calibrated acoustic measurement bench and producing traceable test reports within a regulated quality environment (e.g., medical-device / ISO-style design controls). There will be close collaboration with a senior engineer who owns the test requirements, calibration methodology, and quality standards. Execution will be against those defined procedures.
 
Responsibilities:
  • Execute acoustic test protocols on devices under test — including gain, output level, frequency response, and calibration measurements - precisely following procedures
  • Set up and operate the measurement bench: head-and-torso simulators (HATS) / acoustic couplers, audio interfaces, acoustic calibrators, and device mounting/fitting
  • Run the acoustic measurement software end-to-end: audio-device and channel configuration, microphone and speaker calibration, measurement capture, and data archiving
  • Honor acceptance criteria and gating — flag out-of-tolerance results, calibration faults, and anomalies for review; never pass questionable data silently
  • Produce and file traceable test reports in the team's quality records system: test identifiers, device serial numbers, calibration records, and raw + processed data
  • Maintain meticulous lab records, equipment calibration status, and device logs
  • Escalate measurement-judgment and calibration questions to the supervising engineer
 
Required qualifications:
  • 1-3 years of hands-on acoustic/audio measurement or lab-test experience: sound-pressure-level, frequency-response, gain, and level measurements
  • Willingness and aptitude to learn real-ear / insertion-gain measurement methods
  • Comfort operating measurement hardware — audio interfaces, acoustic calibrators, acoustic test fixtures/couplers (or demonstrated ability to ramp quickly)
  • Exceptional attention to detail and documentation discipline; able to follow written procedures precisely and reproducibly
  • Basic scripting comfort (Python and/or MATLAB) to operate measurement tools and run analysis scripts
  • Reliable, organized, and able to work independently within a structured process
  • Comfortable on macOS or able to ramp quickly
 
Preferred (nice to have)
  • Audiology / hearing-device measurement background (real-ear measurements, dynamic-range compression, insertion gain)
  • Experience in a regulated / quality-controlled environment (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485, medical-device design verification)
  • Familiarity with an electronic quality management system (eQMS)
 
Education:
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in acoustics, audio/electrical engineering, physics, audiology/hearing science, music/audio technology, biomedical engineering, or a related technical field -- or equivalent hands-on lab/test experience
 
Pay Transparency: The typical base pay for this role across the U.S. is: $75.00 - $82.00 /hr. Non-exempt positions are eligible for overtime at a rate of 1.5 times the base hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 in a work week, or as required by state or local law. Final offer amounts, within the base pay set forth above, are determined by factors including your relevant skills, education and experience. Full-time employees are eligible to select from different benefits packages. Packages may include medical, dental, and vision benefits, health savings accounts with qualified medical plan enrollment, 10 paid days off, 3 days paid bereavement leave, 401(k) plan participation with employer match,  life and disability insurance, commuter benefits, dependent care flexible spending account, accident insurance, critical illness insurance, hospital indemnity insurance, accommodations and reimbursement for work travel, and discretionary performance or recognition bonus. Sick leave and mobile phone reimbursement provided based on state or local law.
