You will verify that the client’s SDK performs well on devices and that the voice it produces sounds right: intelligible, natural, true to the speaker and free of artifacts. Audio experience is a must and at the core of the role. \n Your responsibilities\n Run performance tests of the embedded SDK on target devices (latency, resource usage, stability). \n Evaluate speech quality: intelligibility, naturalness, speaker identity, artifacts and end-to-end latency. \n Apply and automate objective metrics such as PESQ, ViSQOL , STOI and WER. \n Design and run subjective listening tests, and analyse the results. \nSet up and use acoustic test rigs for repeatable measurements. \nReport findings to research and engineering teams in a clear, data-driven way. \n\n What we offer\n A fully remote role on a long-term project for an international client. \n Work on cutting-edge on-device audio technology used in real consumer devices. \nA team of experienced engineers and direct contact with the client’s R&D. \nStable cooperation with CSHARK, plus support from our delivery and people teams throughout the project. \n Zakres obowiązków\nRun performance tests of the
