  • Experience in designing, tuning, and testing microphone arrays and real-time audio capture.
  • Proven track record in developing comprehensive audio solutions encompassing acoustics, transducers, digital interfaces, audio ICs, and DSPs.
  • Extensive experience with audio testing systems (e.g., SoundCheck, Audio Precision, HATS testing).
  • Strong background in DSP techniques (e.g., FIR/IIR filter design, beamforming, echo cancellation).
  • Effective independent operation and teamwork in a dynamic, cross-functional setting.
  • Experience with acoustic simulation software, e.g., COMSOL.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Acoustics, or similar.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • 8+ years of experience in audio hardware development.
  • Proficiency in a high-level programming language (e.g., MATLAB, Python).
  • Familiarity with human perception of sound.
  • Experience with psycho-acoustic metrics and evaluation of speech quality and intelligibility.
  • Familiarity with audio rendering techniques and speaker technologies.
  • Experience in acoustics and consumer audio EE architecture.
  • Familiarity with audio algorithm development, ML techniques, and/or NN implementations.
  • M.Sc. or PH.D. in EE, Comp.Sci., Acoustic, or related disciplines.
