YOUR ROLE
Join our Software R&D team to help build an embedded audio algorithm development platform based on an STM32 Nucleo board and a production audio amplifier. The platform will support algorithm development, speaker characterization, and customer demonstrations.
You will work with software and hardware engineers to bring up the platform, connect it to audio amplifiers and a PC, and develop the software framework and tools needed to test and demonstrate audio features.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
- Create an embedded SW platform for the development of advanced audio algorithms.
- Develop and test interfaces between the Nucleo (microprocessor) board, audio amplifiers, and PC, including TDM audio input/output, I²C control, and USB and/or Ethernet connectivity.
- Enable audio streaming between the embedded platform and a PC.
- Build a reusable software framework for algorithm development, speaker testing, and customer demonstrations.
- Implement and validate speaker-characterization algorithms using existing examples, including processing current-feedback and voltage-output measurements.
- Support integration and testing with external amplifiers and test equipment.
- Contribute to a clean, self-contained demonstrator, potentially including an interface board to replace temporary wiring.
YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCES
- Majoring in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Acoustics, or a related field.
- Knowledge of embedded software development and programming in C.
- Familiarity with digital signal processing and audio signals.
- Interest or experience in STM32 microcontrollers and embedded interfaces such as I²C, USB, Ethernet, or digital audio interfaces.
- Familiarity with audio amplifiers or speaker testing is an advantage.
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
