Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership
• Lead development of audio algorithms including (but not limited to):
• Equalization, Dynamic Range Control (DRC), loudness management
• Speaker protection
• Spatial audio, stereo widening, crosstalk cancellation
• Noise suppression
• Psychoacoustic tuning and perceptual optimization
• Drive algorithm performance under real-time, low-power, and fixed-point constraints.
• Guide modeling, simulation, and objective/perceptual evaluation of audio quality.
• Review and approve algorithm architectures, trade-offs, and optimizations.
⸻
Team & People Management
• Build, manage, and mentor a team of audio algorithm engineers.
• Set technical direction and enforce best practices in DSP design and implementation.
• Conduct design reviews, code reviews, and performance evaluations.
• Support career growth and technical depth within the team.
⸻
Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Work closely with architects, hardware designers, firmware teams, and silicon validation.
• Collaborate with product management and OEM partners on audio requirements and tuning targets.
• Support post-silicon bring-up, debugging, and field issue resolution.
Execution & Delivery
• Own audio algorithm roadmaps, schedules, and risk assessments.
• Ensure on-time delivery of production-ready audio algorithms.
• Drive documentation, IP reuse, and scalability across product generations.
Why Join Us
• Lead audio innovation that ships in millions of consumer devices.
• Work at the intersection of acoustics, DSP, and silicon.
• Influence product direction from early architecture to final tuning.
• Collaborative, engineering-driven culture with strong growth opportunities
