Elgato builds hardware and software for content creators, including microphones, audio interfaces and the software that runs them. As a QA Engineer on our audio team, you'll help make sure every product sounds right and works reliably on Windows and macOS.
You'll plan, write and run tests for our audio software and hardware. You'll work closely with developers to find, reproduce and fix issues, and you'll keep our test catalog growing as the product line grows. This role needs real passion for, and hands-on experience with, PC audio.
What You'll Work On
- Audio software such as Wave Link, and the firmware/driver layer behind it
- USB and XLR microphones, audio interfaces and related hardware
- Integration with DAWs, streaming tools and the wider OS audio stack
Your Responsibilities
- Design & maintain tests: Write, update and organize test cases covering features, regressions and hardware/OS combinations.
- Test & investigate: Run structured and exploratory tests. Find, reproduce, document and track bugs through to resolution.
- Analyze failures: Work with developers to find root causes, from routing and latency problems to driver and device issues.
- Collaborate: Get involved early in new features so test coverage is planned from the start, not added afterwards.
- Document: Keep test cases, processes and results clear, current and easy for the team to use.
Your Profile
- Audio expertise: Solid knowledge of PC audio systems on Windows and macOS: DAWs, audio interfaces, drivers, sample rates/buffer sizes, and VST/AU plugins.
- Quality mindset: You care about the details that separate good products from great ones, in both software and hardware.
- Analytical thinking: You enjoy solving problems methodically and can narrow a vague report down to clear repro steps.
- Team player: You communicate clearly and like working in a collaborative, cross-functional team.
- Languages: Fluent German and proficient English.
Nice to Have
- Experience with audio measurements (e.g., frequency response, THD+N, latency)
- ISTQB certification
- Experience with test automation
