When you add that to the challenges we take on and solve together, you’ll discover that at HARMAN you can grow, make a difference and be proud of the work you do every day.

Introduction: A Career at HARMAN Lifestyle

We’re a global, multi-disciplinary team that’s putting the innovative power of technology to work and transforming tomorrow. As a member of HARMAN Lifestyle, you connect consumers with the power of superior sound.

  • Contribute your talents to high-end, esteemed brands like JBL, Mark Levinson, Revel, Denon, and Bowers & Wilkins
  • Unite your passion for audio innovation with high-tech product development
  • Create pitch-perfect, cutting-edge technology that elevates the listening experience

What You’ll Be Part Of

As the Amplifier Test Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of 6–8 test engineers responsible for the hardware, firmware, and DSP validation of high-power amplifiers, audio mixers, and other audio products. You will own the validation strategy and execution for multiple development programs, ensuring that testing provides clear, repeatable, and actionable engineering results. You will also advance the team’s test-automation capabilities, establish consistent validation and reporting standards, and develop the technical capabilities of the engineering team. In this role, you will report to the Director of Test Engineering.

How You’ll Make An Impact

Lead, coach, and develop a test engineering team responsible for hardware, firmware, DSP, and system-level product validation for high-power amplifiers, audio mixers, and other professional audio products

  • Define validation scope, coverage strategies, and detailed test plans for audio performance and signal-processing functions, including mixing, gain, filtering, delay, limiting, and protection.
  • Review test plans, procedures, schematics, automation solutions, and validation reports for technical accuracy, completeness, and adherence to standards.
  • Ensure validation results are traceable and repeatable and provide clear, actionable engineering conclusions.
  • Drive scalable test automation across hardware, firmware, and DSP validation, including audio measurements, DUT control, data collection, analysis, and reporting.
  • Guide the development of reusable automation frameworks, measurement libraries, instrument-control tools, and DUT-control libraries that enable repeatable and reproducible validation setups.
  • Own end-to-end validation execution, from planning and scheduling through test oversight, issue management, and concise reporting of progress, coverage, defects, risks, resources, and milestone readiness.
  • Partner with the PMO, engineering leads, and stakeholders to estimate scope, schedules, costs, resources, and dependencies; identify slippage and technical risks early and drive recovery plans.
  • Manage team workload, resource allocation, and priorities across multiple development programs.
  • Ensure validation activities meet program phase entry and exit criteria and clearly communicate unresolved product risks.
  • Establish objective metrics for program delivery, test coverage, defect discovery, product quality, and automation maturity.
  • Partner with hardware, firmware, DSP, systems, and program teams to investigate failures and drive technical issues to resolution.
  • Assess individual and team skill gaps and address them through training, mentoring, peer reviews, and targeted assignments.
  • Recruit, interview, and onboard engineers and test leads as organizational needs evolve.

What Makes You A Strong Fit

  • Bachelor’s degree/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 8+ years of experience in product validation, test engineering, embedded systems, professional audio, or a related engineering discipline.
  • 3+ years of experience leading & coaching engineers or technical test teams, including responsibility for work prioritization, coaching, performance expectations, and employee development.
  • Experience leading & coaching engineers or technical test teams, including responsibility for work prioritization, coaching, performance expectations, and employee development.
  • Strong knowledge of audio measurement principles and the ability to interpret measurements such as frequency response, output level, noise, signal-to-noise ratio, dynamic range, THD+N, IMD, crosstalk, phase, and group delay.
  • Hands-on experience using test equipment from Audio Precision, NI, Keysight, or similar to evaluate audio hardware.
  • Programming or test-automation experience, such as Python, LabVIEW, NI TestStand, C#/.NET, or a comparable language or platform.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate technical risk, validation status, and product-quality concerns to engineering teams and leadership.

Bonus Points if You Have

  • Experience architecting or significantly expanding a test-automation framework, including reusable measurement libraries, instrument-control layers, device-under-test control libraries, reporting utilities, or test-sequencing infrastructure.
  • Experience integrating automated validation with requirements-management, defect-tracking, source-control, continuous-integration, or automated-reporting systems.
  • Experience leading geographically distributed engineering teams and coordinating validation activities across global development locations.

Things To Know

  • Willingness to travel between US & Mexico up to 5%
  • Willingness to work in an office in Richardson, Texas
  • Successfully completing a background investigation and drug screen as a condition of employment

What You Can Expect

  • Access to employee discounts on HARMAN and Samsung products (including JBL, Harman / Kardon, AKG, and others)
  • Learning and development opportunities through our award-winning HARMAN University programs
  • Wellness benefits designed to support your overall well-being
  • Tuition reimbursement support
  • Access to the HARMAN campus fitness center and cafeteria, where available

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
