Audio Test Automation Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for an Audio Test Automation Engineer with a software engineering mindset and a background in audio devices or the audio industry. You will read technical documentation, gather audio test requirements, and translate them into executable validation code - quickly and accurately. You will support on-demand testing needs across audio subsystems, working within firmware and diagnostics workflows to ensure audio hardware performs to spec across product lineup.

________________________________________

Key Responsibilities

* Read and interpret audio system technical documentation and translate requirements directly into executable test scripts

* Handle on-demand requests for new and evolving audio test requirements with fast code turnaround

* Develop, run, and debug test code across multiple scripting languages(Python, Lua, and others) within various software suites

* Maintain and extend automation and sequence engine frameworks for audio validation and diagnostics

* Execute unit tests and integration tests on audio subsystems; triage and debug failures across hardware and software layers

* Validate audio firmware behavior - codec bring-up, signal routing, clocking, power sequencing - through scripted test cases

* Collaborate with firmware, hardware, and software engineers to translate shifting requirements into working test solutions

* Document test coverage, results, and defect findings clearly and concisely

Must-Have Skills

* B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field

* 2+ years of experience in software engineering, test automation, or firmware validation

* Working ability to translate requirements into code - Python, Lua, or similar scripting languages

* Background working on audio devices, audio hardware, or within the audio industry (headphones, speakers, earbuds, audio interfaces, professional audio equipment, etc.)

* Ability to read and parse technical documentation (schematics, firmware specs, audio subsystem datasheets) and convert to test logic

* Hands-on experience running and debugging code across multiple software environments and test suites

* Foundational understanding of audio signal chain concepts - ADCs, DACs, codecs, amplifiers, clocking, digital audio interfaces (IS, PDM, TDM)

* Exposure to scripted test development - writing, executing, and maintaining test cases for hardware or firmware validation

Preferred Skills

* Familiarity with automation or sequence engines used in hardware/firmware test workflows

* Prior experience with unit te sting frameworks (pytest, unittest, or equivalent)

* Exposure to audio measurement tools - Audio Precision APx, HEAD acoustics, Klippel, or GRAS

* Knowledge of audio protocols and codecs - IS, SoundWire, USB Audio, AAC, LC3, Bluetooth HFP/A2DP

* Experience in NPI or manufacturing test environments (EVT/DVT/PVT build cycles, EOL/ATE testing)

* Familiarity with DSP concepts - filtering, EQ, ANC, beamforming, noise floor characterization

Salary Range: $100,000-$130,000 a year.
