Job Summary
Execute acoustic test protocols on wearable audio devices, including gain, output level, and frequency response measurements, while operating head-and-torso simulators and acoustic couplers. Run measurement software end-to-end for calibration, capture, and data archiving, then produce traceable test reports in the quality records system. Flag out-of-tolerance results and anomalies for review, maintaining meticulous lab logs and escalating calibration questions to the supervising engineer. This 12-month onsite role in Redmond, WA, requires a background in acoustic measurement and proficiency with macOS.
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
- 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
Desired Qualifications
- 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)
