Description

The ideal candidate is A highly technical, practical leader who thrives at the intersection of hands-on engineering and people management. If you are a Quality Manager who prefers filling out spreadsheets and managing a purely administrative role, this is not the position for you. You are someone who rolls up their sleeves, dives into the engineering details, and leads by example to help a multidisciplinary team build robust, high-quality hardware products. Main objectives of the role Technical Authority: Serve as the ultimate technical authority and "go-to" person for establishing confidence ratings on product development risks and defining engineering mitigation actions. Reliability Champion: Bring a deep, specialized focus to hardware reliability across the product lifecycle, shifting the team toward proactive physics-of-failure engineering. Team Leadership: Successfully manage, mentor, and coordinate a highly technical, cross-functional team of 4 engineers spanning NPI and production test equipment development. Your role and responsibilities People Management: Lead a team of 4 people: 2 Development-focused Quality Engineers (1 Electrical and 1 Mechanical Engineer), and 2 Test Engineers developing custom test equipment primarily for QC in production. Hardware Reliability: Bring a strong focus to hardware reliability, taking ownership of methodologies such as HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening). Engineering Investigations: Take the lead on deep-dive engineering investigations of technical issues arising from both early product development and the field. Validation Strategy: Help bring best practices to the definition and documentation of the product validation plan, test strategy, and test coverage. Execution & Coordination: Plan, estimate costs, and coordinate all product validation and test development activities. Technical Files: Take full ownership of technical files, ensuring they are accurate, complete, and engineering-backed. What you need to succeed in this role Practical Engineering Experience: A strong, hands-on engineering background (Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, or related discipline) with extensive "on-the-bench" experience. Reliability Expertise: Proven experience implementing HALT/HASS testing and translating stress-testing data into actual product design improvements. Root-Cause Mastery: Exceptional skills in engineering investigation and root-cause analysis, with the ability to guide a team through complex technical troubleshooting. Cross-Functional Literacy: The ability to understand and speak the language of mechanical, electrical, and software test engineers seamlessly. Pragmatic Leadership: Experience leading small teams of engineers with a collaborative, supportive style that balances strict quality standards with product delivery timelines. Nice to haves We offer you At HOLOPLOT we work in a flexible hybrid setup with trust-based working hours, giving you the freedom to organise your day in a way that supports focus, deep work and balance. Pay is competitive and fair, and we offer perks and benefits such as subsidised public transport, lunch allowances, Urban Sports and a company pension scheme. You’ll join an international, open-minded team across software, hardware, product and research, in an environment with plenty of autonomy and ownership. You’ll work on cutting-edge audio technology, turn complex requirements into working solutions and contribute to global projects, with support for your growth through individual development plans, mentoring and coaching. Further Information About us We are a pro audio company from Berlin, Germany. Since early 2011, we have been working on radically transforming audio technology, by re-thinking the underlying physics of sound reproduction. We wondered: What if sound could truly be controlled the way we can control light? What if we could create soundscapes that feel more real than reality? What if every seat in a venue could be made the best seat? Our solution is science-based, software-driven, and hardware-enabled: the HOLOPLOT Matrix Array. The sound system for a new era, a powerful tool that brings previously inaccessible capabilities to the world of audio. We believe when people experience better sound, they will enjoy more meaningful moments and create richer memories, leading to more fulfilling lives. At HOLOPLOT, it is our mission to redefine what is possible - enabling unparalleled and breathtaking experiences. A revolution in sound. Be part of it.
