Summary: Join a team designing and building high-performance audio systems, focusing on hands-on assembly of stereo components, including amplifiers, DACs, and streamers. Highlights: 1. Hands-on assembly of high-performance audio systems 2. Experience immersive music systems with extraordinary detail 3. Gain understanding of how careful assembly impacts sound quality We design and build high-performance audio systems — including custom amplifiers, DACs, power supplies, and streaming units. *** This is hands-on assembly work focused on building real working audio systems. *** You will assist in assembling and wiring high-quality stereo components and have the opportunity to experience immersive music systems that reveal extraordinary detail in recorded music. RESPONSIBILITIES *Assemble audio amplifier circuits * Assemble DACs and streamers using Raspberry Pi * Perform PCB population and soldering (primarily through-hole) * Wire chassis components and internal connections * Assist with clean layout and mechanical assembly * Follow the build documentation carefully * Perform structured basic testing using a multimeter * Assist in listening sessions comparing completed builds * Complete some remote work (prep, documentation, parts organization) => Must be able to come to Silver Spring approximately every other week. EXPERIENCE YOU WILL GAIN * Experience immersive stereo systems with exceptional clarity * Hear instrument separation and spatial depth in most systems mask * Understand how careful assembly impacts sound quality * Compare different builds and hear subtle differences * Experience recorded music with detail and realism you may not have heard before * Most people never hear what is truly captured in a recording. You will! IDEAL CANDIDATE * Electronics Technology student or recent graduate * Comfortable with soldering * Has basic experience using a multimeter * Detail-oriented and careful with hands-on work * Enjoys music * Able to follow instructions precisely * Reliable and organized TO APPLY, PLEASE REPLY THROUGH CRAIGSLIST AND INCLUDE: * A short introduction * Any relevant experience (even hobby-level) * Your general availability
