If you’re passionate about solving complex engineering problems, collaborating with forward-thinking teams, and making an impact in the world of Hardware Technology, Andrews Cooper is the place for you.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering or Electrical & Computer Engineering from an accredited university. MSEE a plus.
• 2–6 years in hardware test and verification engineering for consumer electronics. Target range, not a hard requirement.
• Engineering-level judgment on test methodology — able to assess whether a method answers the question being asked, and to identify gaps or errors in a plan.
• Able to create, modify, interpret, review, and execute electrical test plans, and guide others through them.
• Verification of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits at board and device level.
• Low-speed digital interfaces: I2C, I3C, SPI, UART, GPIO. Register-level configuration and debug from device datasheets.
• Bench instrumentation: oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, source meters, logic analyzers.
• Power measurements: load and line regulation, efficiency, ripple and noise, power sequencing, transient response.
• Measurement rigor: calibration, noise floor, probing and grounding effects, repeatability, and measurement uncertainty.
• Root cause analysis and failure diagnostics.
• Board bring-up and prototype validation.
• Technical writing: test procedures, reports, and clear communication with teams across multiple sites and time zones.
• Works independently with minimal supervision following onboarding.
• On-site in Redmond, WA. Not open to fully remote work.
• Travel as needed; access to reliable transportation required.
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship. Background check required.
• Up to 20% of travel may be required between locations.
• Ability to travel for work-related purposes as needed; access to reliable transportation is required due to the nature of our business and multiple client sites.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.
• Background checks are required.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Acoustic verification: anechoic chambers, HATS, microphone and speaker measurement. Training available; direct experience preferred.
• Audio electronics verification at the EE or board level — amplifiers, microphones, codecs.
• Audio analyzers: Audio Precision, Listen Inc. SoundCheck, HEAD acoustics LabCore / ACQUA.
• Fault condition testing: over-voltage, over-current, thermal shutdown.
• New product introduction experience across EVT, DVT, and PVT builds.
• Review of supplier and contract manufacturer test reports.
• Demonstrated appetite for learning new measurement domains.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• This position works in a lab environment on new innovative products for the consumer electronics space, in a fast-paced environment with evolving requirements.
• Review test plans and test plan revisions for technical accuracy, and correctly interpret their intent. Test plans generally already exist and are usually modified by others.
• Execute tests according to established test plans.
• Learn all three verification disciplines — electrical, audio electrical, and acoustic — and support the verification team across all of them.
• Run acoustic testing hands-on. This is expected to be roughly 30–50% of the role.
• Run a smaller share of electrical and audio electrical testing directly, approximately 5–10%, where the need arises.
• Spend the remaining time reviewing electrical and audio electrical results produced by partner teams at other sites, and driving the resulting issues to closure through written communication and task tracking.
• Work alongside the verification lead and peers at other sites who own test execution. This is primarily a review and support role.
• We value self-sufficiency and continuous learning. As you ramp up, the expectation will be to document key processes, tools, and lessons learned so they can easily be revisited later, allowing coaching conversations to build on prior discussions.
