Design the future of audio!

As an Engineer II, Audio Electronics Design, you will contribute to the design, development, verification, and support of electronic circuits and printed circuit board assemblies for high-quality professional audio products.

In this role, you will work on analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, and embedded system hardware used in products such as wired microphones, wireless microphones, signal processors, conference systems, and related accessories. You will support the full product-development process, including circuit design, simulation, prototyping, hardware verification testing, troubleshooting, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.

The ideal candidate can apply engineering judgment within defined procedures and practices, communicate clearly with project teams, and contribute hands-on technical work in a collaborative product-development environment.

This role is based in our Niles, IL headquarters and will be hybrid, on-site 4 days a week. 

• Design, simulate, prototype, test, and troubleshoot analog, digital, power, and mixed-signal circuitry for professional audio products.
• Develop and support printed circuit board assemblies, including schematic design, PCB layout, PCBA bring-up, circuit modification, and design verification.
• Perform circuit verification, system/subsystem testing, power verification, signal integrity checks, audio performance testing, and functional testing.
• Analyze and resolve circuit defects, performance issues, compatibility issues, and hardware problems discovered during development, production, or in the field.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including design notes, test procedures, verification results, design specifications, issue summaries, and supporting product-development documentation.
• Support cross-functional product-development activities with hardware, embedded/software, mechanical, acoustics, automated test, system verification, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, and compliance.
• Support manufacturing test, automated test development, board programming, test procedure development, and production-readiness activities as needed.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field and a minimum of 2 years of related experience; or an advanced degree without experience.
• Experience with circuit design, simulation, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, defect analysis, and technical documentation.
• Working knowledge of analog circuitry, including op-amps, BJTs, FETs, LDOs, switching supplies, and related analog or power components.
• Working knowledge of digital circuitry, including digital logic, embedded microcontrollers, networking, ADCs, DACs, DSPs, FPGAs, and related digital components.
• Knowledge of audio-related circuits, audio systems, and audio measurement techniques.
• Experience using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, and other electrical or audio measurement tools.
• Experience with schematic CAD tools, PCB layout processes, and SPICE or other circuit simulation tools.
• Hands-on soldering, circuit modification, prototype assembly, or circuit repair skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document work activities, collaborate with peers and project staff, and incorporate feedback from other team members.
• Preferred: experience with programming or test scripting for hardware verification, automation, data collection, or analysis.
• Preferred: experience with embedded systems, Linux, Python, RTOS concepts, hardware/software co-design, manufacturing test support, or test engineering support.
