What is an audio DSP test engineer?

Audio DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Test Engineers are professionals who design, implement, and execute tests to ensure the quality and performance of audio signal processing systems. They work with hardware and software teams to verify that audio algorithms and products meet desired specifications, such as clarity, latency, and noise suppression. Their role often involves developing automated test frameworks, analyzing audio data, and troubleshooting issues in DSP implementations. Audio DSP Test Engineers are essential in industries like consumer electronics, automotive, and telecommunications, where high-quality sound processing is critical.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an audio DSP test engineer?

To thrive as an Audio DSP Test Engineer, you need a strong background in digital signal processing, audio engineering, and programming languages like C++ or Python, often supported by a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with audio analysis tools (such as MATLAB or Audio Precision), automated testing frameworks, and version control systems is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective teamwork are crucial soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure accurate testing, efficient troubleshooting, and high-quality audio product development.

What are the common challenges faced by audio DSP test engineers when validating new algorithms or hardware?

Audio DSP Test Engineers often encounter challenges such as ensuring algorithm performance across a wide range of devices and acoustic environments. Debugging real-time audio processing can be complex, as issues may only appear under specific conditions or at scale. The role also requires close collaboration with software developers and hardware engineers to reproduce issues, analyze root causes, and verify fixes. Staying updated with evolving audio standards and test automation tools is essential for maintaining test coverage and efficiency.

Job description

Minimum qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a specialized field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP, etc.), or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2 years of experience working in a hardware testing environment.
  • 2 years of experience in hardware compliance, EMC/EMI testing, or hardware validation.
  • Experience developing and executing comprehensive EMC/EMI test plans (including radiated/conducted emissions, immunity, and ESD).
  • Experience with hardware bring-up and troubleshooting, including performing root-cause analysis on compliance failures and recommend practical design mitigations (e.g., shielding, grounding, and PCB layout processing).

Preferred qualifications:
  • Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field (Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP).
  • 4 years of experience conducting standard immunity/emissions compliance tests (ESD, Surge, Radiated/Conducted) and root-cause failure analysis with practical shielding, filtering, and PCB layout mitigations.
  • Experience operating of spectrum analyzers, receivers, generators, and amplifiers, backed by deep familiarity with global regulatory frameworks.
  • Knowledge of global EMC/RF regulatory standards and compliance frameworks (FCC, CE, CISPR, IEC/EN, and KN/KS).
  • Ability to lead technical projects, authored Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and executed hardware platform bring-up utilizing various software tools.

About the job
As a part of an EMC Test Engineer at Google, you will be responsible for ensuring that complex hardware systems comply with global Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Radio Frequency (RF) standards. You will own the entire hardware development life-cycle, from early engineering verification, formal certification and sustaining.
You will act as a critical technical gatekeeper and diagnostic expert, as it will unblock hardware release schedules by preparing Equipment Under Test (EUT), executing test plans, launching specialized offline workloads, and performing deep root-cause failure analysis to recommend design mitigations (such as layout, grounding, or shielding changes).
In this role, through process automation, meticulous component qualification, and deep cross-functional collaboration with hardware design, firmware, and external lab teams, the EMC Test Engineer ensures Google's hardware platforms satisfy both internal engineering specifications and worldwide regulatory mandates efficiently.
Our Platforms Infrastructure Engineering team designs and builds the
hardware and software technologies that power all of Google's services. Our computational challenges are complex and unique, enabled by cutting-edge custom hardware designed and made in-house. As a hardware engineer, you will design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You will see those systems from concept all the way through to high-volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers, affecting millions of Google users.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
