Full-time entry-level position at Loud Technologies

From recent alum, David H.: The reason I'm writing is to let you know about a job posting here at Loud for a recent or soon-to-be graduate. The position is for a Junior Component Engineer and it would be full-time, not for internships or co-ops. I think it would be a good opportunity for a student who is passionate about music and audio equipment. I don't currently have any more info about the position than is in the description, but I can talk to the hiring manager. The HR staff asked me to send this along to anyone I might know from UW [...]. Link: https://ch.tbe.taleo.net/CH15/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=LOUDTECHINC&cws=1&rid=215
