Engineering Project Manager

Company Description

Bowers & Wilkins is working on creating fantastic and truly unique home A/V experiences that are second to none!

In May 2016, Silicon Valley startup Eva Automation, led by Gideon Yu, acquired Bowers & Wilkins, the market leader in the premium audio category, used by musicians and producers in the best studios in the world, from Abbey Road to Skywalker Studios.

Together we are a new kind of company -- fusing cutting-edge startup culture with an iconic brand and audio expertise -- to create revolutionary yet simple home entertainment experiences. We will have much, much more to announce when the time is right about our new line of products, but we are extremely excited about what we are developing.

Come join us and be a part of a great company that has the best of both worlds!
