What does an acoustic lab manager do?

An Acoustic Lab Manager oversees the daily operations of an acoustics laboratory, ensuring that all equipment is functioning correctly and that safety protocols are followed. They coordinate and supervise experiments, manage lab personnel, and are responsible for data collection and analysis related to sound and vibration. Additionally, they may assist in designing experiments, maintaining inventory, and liaising with other departments or external clients. Their role is crucial in supporting research and development projects that involve acoustic measurements and testing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an acoustic lab manager?

To thrive as an Acoustic Lab Manager, you need a strong background in acoustics or audio engineering, typically supported by a relevant degree and experience in laboratory environments. Familiarity with sound measurement tools, data analysis software (such as MATLAB or LabVIEW), and compliance with industry standards or certifications is essential. Strong organizational skills, leadership, and effective communication set outstanding managers apart in this role. These competencies ensure accurate research, safe and efficient lab operations, and effective team coordination for high-quality acoustic testing outcomes.

What are some typical challenges an acoustic lab manager faces in maintaining accurate testing environments?

Acoustic Lab Managers often encounter challenges such as minimizing background noise, managing equipment calibration, and ensuring environmental stability to maintain the integrity of acoustic measurements. They must regularly monitor and adjust testing spaces to prevent external vibrations or sound interference. Additionally, balancing multiple projects and coordinating with researchers or engineers for timely data collection can require strong organizational and communication skills.

Job description

Request ID: 71382-1
Duration: 12 months with possible extension
Tax Work Location: US - WA - Redmond Onsite 5 days a week.
Job Title: Core Engineering - Test Engineer II
Job Description: Title: Acoustic Test Engineer
Role summary
Seeking an acoustic test engineer to execute hands-on acoustic measurements on wearable audio devices and document the results in our quality records system. The role involves running an established, documented test process on a calibrated acoustic measurement bench and producing traceable test reports within a regulated quality environment (e.g., medical-device / ISO-style design controls). There will be close collaboration with a senior engineer who owns the test requirements, calibration methodology, and quality standards

Execution will be against those defined procedures.
Responsibilities
- Execute acoustic test protocols on devices under test — including gain, output level, frequency response, and calibration measurements - precisely following procedures
- Set up and operate the measurement bench: head-and-torso simulators (HATS) / acoustic couplers, audio interfaces, acoustic calibrators, and device mounting/fitting
- Run the acoustic measurement software end-to-end: audio-device and channel configuration, microphone and speaker calibration, measurement capture, and data archiving
- Honor acceptance criteria and gating — flag out-of-tolerance results, calibration faults, and anomalies for review; never pass questionable data silently
- Produce and file traceable test reports in the team's quality records system: test identifiers, device serial numbers, calibration records, and raw + processed data
- Maintain meticulous lab records, equipment calibration status, and device logs
- Escalate measurement-judgment and calibration questions to the supervising engineer
Required qualifications
- 1-3 years of hands-on acoustic/audio measurement or lab-test experience: sound-pressure-level, frequency-response, gain, and level measurements
- Willingness and aptitude to learn real-ear / insertion-gain measurement methods
- Comfort operating measurement hardware — audio interfaces, acoustic calibrators, acoustic test fixtures/couplers (or demonstrated ability to ramp quickly)
- Exceptional attention to detail and documentation discipline; able to follow written procedures precisely and reproducibly
- Basic scripting comfort (Python and/or MATLAB) to operate measurement tools and run analysis scripts
- Reliable, organized, and able to work independently within a structured process
- Comfortable on macOS or able to ramp quickly
Preferred (nice to have)
- Audiology / hearing-device measurement background (real-ear measurements, dynamic-range compression, insertion gain)
- Experience in a regulated / quality-controlled environment (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485, medical-device design verification)
- Familiarity with an electronic quality management system (eQMS)
Education
Associate's or Bachelor's degree in acoustics, audio/electrical engineering, physics, audiology/hearing science, music/audio technology, biomedical engineering, or a related technical field -- or equivalent hands-on lab/test experience
