Bowers & Wilkins, based in downtown Redwood City, is looking for a Wireless Driver/Firmware Engineer to be a part of building the most innovative audio/video and home automation systems the world has yet to see.

If you are an experienced engineer and want to be part of an amazing brand with a bottoms-up culture while creating the world’s first product of its kind, let’s talk.
Our founder, John Bowers, started this company in 1966 with a single loudspeaker and the vision, “if you create a better product, you will sell it.” Today, we are the market leaders in the premium audio category and are used by musicians and producers in the best studios in the world, from Abbey Road to Skywalker Studios. In May 2016, we ushered in a new era for Bowers & Wilkins through an acquisition by Silicon Valley startup, Eva Automation, led by Gideon Yu. Combining Eva’s culture of fast-paced technology innovation and the audio heritage of Bowers & Wilkins will allow us to create fantastic home entertainment experiences that make it easier and better for people to use the products they love.
