Ready to Get Out of the Installation Bay?

Sonic Electronix is looking for an experienced car audio installer who wants to use their hands-on knowledge in a new way.

This position is an opportunity to move from daily customer installations into the product development side of the car-audio industry. You will help test and improve products from brands such as NVX, including amplifiers, subwoofers, speakers, enclosures, DSP products, wiring accessories, and vehicle-specific audio solutions.

You do not need an engineering degree or previous product-development experience. We are looking for someone who understands how car-audio products are installed, knows how to troubleshoot problems, and is interested in learning how products are developed and tested.

This is primarily a product testing and development position. Occasional vehicle installations will be required, but you will not spend every day working in an installation bay.

What You’ll Do

• Test car-audio products on a workbench and in vehicles.
• Install amplifiers, speakers, subwoofers, DSPs, radios, cameras, and related accessories.
• Identify product problems and recommend practical improvements.
• Evaluate sound quality, performance, fitment, installation difficulty, and included accessories.
• Build and test prototype audio systems.
• Troubleshoot wiring, noise, compatibility, and performance problems.
• Provide feedback based on real-world installation experience.
• Help create installation instructions, troubleshooting guides, and product information.
• Answer occasional technical questions from customer-service and product teams.
• Verify vehicle fitment and product compatibility information.
• Work with the product-development, engineering, customer-service, and marketing teams.
• Learn additional product-testing and development procedures on the job.

What We’re Looking For

• At least two years of hands-on car-audio or automotive electronics installation experience preferred.
• Experience installing amplifiers, speakers, subwoofers, radios, or similar 12-volt products.
• Basic understanding of vehicle wiring and electrical troubleshooting.
• Ability to use common installation tools and a digital multimeter.
• Interest in car audio, fabrication, vehicle electronics, and new-product development.
• Ability to clearly explain installation or product problems.
• Basic computer skills and willingness to learn new programs.
• Dependable, organized, and able to work with a team.
• High school diploma or equivalent.

Experience with DSP tuning, custom fabrication, oscilloscopes, RTA equipment, Audio Precision testing, vehicle integration, or MECP certification is helpful but not required.

Why This Position?

• Move away from daily customer installation work.
• Use your installation experience to help develop better products.
• Work in a clean product-development and testing environment.
• Learn product testing, quality control, documentation, and manufacturing.
• Build a long-term career within the car-audio industry.
• Help shape products that will be sold and installed throughout the country.

If you are a car-audio installer who is ready for the next step in your career, we encourage you to apply - even if you do not meet every preferred qualification.
