About The Role
Client is seeking a talented and motivated Product Design Engineer to join our team in Oklahoma City. This is a core engineering role that sits at the intersection of electrical design, musicality, and product development, you will own projects from initial concept through public release.
You will be the primary engineer working on and overseeing individual product development
efforts: designing and validating analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuitry; driving technical
decisions; following strategic project timelines; and collaborating closely with our product team to bring complete, polished products to market. This is an extremely hands-on position in a creative, fast-paced team environment where your fingerprints will be on the products that our customers love.
Responsibilities
Electrical Design:
Analyze product and system requirements to develop ground-up analog, digital, and mixed-signal system architectures
Design electrical circuitry including schematic entry and PCB layout using Altium Designer
Assemble and test prototypes of new designs in the lab
Quickly identify design issues and develop practical, effective solutions throughout the development cycle
Work with compliance labs to ensure all design meet electromagnetic & safety standards
Project & Product Ownership
Engage at the product level - contributing informed perspective on features, user experience, and design tradeoffs rather than simply executing a requirements list
Develop Product Requirement Documents for individual products, based on input from the product team, that will guide all aspects of development
Own the technical design side of individual product projects from kickoff to release, serving as the primary point of accountability for technical scope, design, and quality
Collaborate with our firmware and hardware engineers to ensure all design elements integrate effectively into a complete, shippable product
Work with in-house project manager to develop and follow project schedules and task breakdowns that keep efforts on track and deadlines met
Create and maintain technical documentation including BOMs, test procedures, build guides and other project-associated records
Production & Customer Support
Support the production team by solving manufacturing problems and training build team on new builds
Support customer service by troubleshooting & resolving issues with defective products
Personal & Organizational Skills
Highly organized; able to keep track of large amounts of deliverables and tasks related to multiple projects at a time, from the initial idea through to the final product - without
having to be micro-managed
Able to see projects and work from multiple points of view to present work that's been self thoroughly scrutinized
Comfortable operating independently with a "see a need, fill a need" mindset -proactive rather than reactive
Flexible and positive under pressure; able to adapt quickly in a fluid, fast-moving environment while maintaining harmony with the team
Strong communicator who works well within a small, collaborative engineering team
Able to take direction and constructive feedback while also advocating for sound technical decisions to become a better contributor as the seasons pass
Deep understanding of and genuine passion for guitar effects and music
Operates with complete integrity with a team and alone
Requirements
BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent industry experience
3+ years of experience in audio hardware development including analog, digital control, DSP, and mixed-signal design
Proficient in schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer
Proficient in soldering and reworking by hand, both through hole and SMD components
Hands-on experience in an electronics lab with full understanding of standard test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes and signal generators
Working knowledge of Audio Precision test equipment and standard audio analysis
Demonstrated ability to build, test and troubleshoot PCB prototypes quickly and accurately
Demonstrated ability to assemble, test and troubleshoot products as whole including PCBs, mechanical components, chassis, cases, etc
Ability to set and meet realistic project timelines given a defined set of features and deliverables
Background in music is required - this is non-negotiable
Firmware development experience is a plus. You will work closely with our dedicated firmware engineer, and the ability to contribute at that level when needed is valued but not required.
