Test Engineer II

We are seeking a Test Engineer with a strong background in acoustics and/or electrical engineering to join our team. This is a highly collaborative, hands-on role based in our lab in Costa Mesa, CA, working closely with Acoustics (AE), Mechanical (ME), Electrical Engineering (EE), and other members of the Test Engineering organization. The ideal candidate will become a Subject Matter Expert (SME) through daily, hands-on involvement in product testing, troubleshooting, validation, and by designing and building automated test systems for transducers, speaker systems, and power amplifiers. This role is also critical in supporting our global contract manufacturers.

Base Salary Range 87,000 - 105,000

The above reflects the pay range that QSC reasonably expects to pay for this role. This pay range also depends on various factors such as job duties and requirements, relevant experience and skills and geographic location. In addition to the base salary range, QSC offers a comprehensive package including but not limited to health benefits, 401K or Roth retirement plans and generous time off.

We will be accepting applications until a final candidate is identified.
