About the Role :
We are looking for a highly motivated Senior DSP / Signal Processing Engineer with a strong focus on audio algorithm development. In this role, you will be part of a dedicated and highly skilled team working in the early stages of product development. Your primary focus will be on designing, developing, prototyping, validating, and optimizing next-generation audio algorithms, while collaborating closely with embedded software engineers to bring those algorithms into production.
What you will do :
- Design, develop, prototype, and validate advanced audio signal processing algorithms.
- Develop and evaluate algorithms using MATLAB and/or Python before implementation on embedded platforms.
- Work with microphone signals, digital signal processing, and audio enhancement technologies, including Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
- Optimize algorithms for accuracy, robustness, computational complexity, memory usage, and power consumption.
- Collaborate closely with embedded software engineers to integrate algorithms into resource-constrained embedded systems.
- Work in cross-functional teams during early-phase product development, adapting to evolving requirements and helping define technical solutions.
- Proactively drive technical discussions, challenge existing approaches constructively, and help move projects forward.
- Promote innovative solutions and take ownership of technical challenges from concept to production.
What you bring :
- Extensive experience in digital signal processing (DSP) and audio algorithm development.
- Strong experience developing and prototyping algorithms using MATLAB and/or Python.
- Proven experience working with microphones, audio processing, and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
- Experience taking algorithms from concept and prototyping through optimization and production implementation.
- Experience optimizing algorithms for accuracy, robustness, computational efficiency, memory usage, and power consumption.
- Experience implementing algorithms on embedded platforms using C/C++.
- Ability to thrive in early-stage product development with changing requirements.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
