Product Engineer (Audio)

Quick Facts

• Role: Product engineering focused on manufacturability and reliability for an audio product family/category
• Focus: Meeting specifications and quality targets; sustaining support to improve manufacturing flow post-release

Description

Product Engineers partner with design and back-end teams to ensure products are designed for manufacturability and reliability, meeting specifications and quality targets defined in product data sheets. They also provide sustaining support by working with process technology, manufacturing, test, quality, reliability, and marketing teams to optimize the device and reduce cost or improve long-term profitability after release.

Responsibilities

• Ensure devices meet specification and quality targets
• Support sustaining optimization across design, process technology, manufacturing, test, quality, reliability, and marketing
• Reduce manufacturing cost and improve long-term development and profit profile post-release
• Perform debug, failure analysis, bench testing, and characterization to support product readiness

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
• 1+ years of relevant experience
• Solid understanding of analog and digital circuits and their operation/analysis

Preferred Qualifications

• Extensive hands-on experience with lab equipment for data collection, device debug, and failure analysis (e.g., curve tracers, return loss analyzers, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers)
• Experience bench testing op-amps, ADCs, mixed-signal circuits, and digital circuits
• Experience with bench validation and characterization of PCBs
• Experience with integrated circuit and device failure analysis
• Programming skills for automation of bench characterization equipment (LabVIEW/TestStand) using C and/or C++
• Extensive knowledge of statistics and tools to analyze characterization data, set production test limits, and predict yield data
• Working knowledge of taking a product from development to production
• Ability to work in a team setup across functional groups; strong time management and communication skills

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits supporting total well-being at work and in life (competitive compensation, health coverage, and wellness programs)
