Job description

Job Title: Speech Recognition Engineer
Job Summary
We are seeking a Speech Recognition Engineer to design, develop, and optimize Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems for voice-enabled applications. The ideal candidate will have expertise in speech processing, deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning. This role involves building, training, fine-tuning, and deploying speech recognition models that deliver high accuracy, low latency, and robust performance across diverse languages, accents, and acoustic environments.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and optimize Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models for production applications.
  • Build end-to-end speech processing pipelines, including audio preprocessing, feature extraction, decoding, and post-processing.
  • Train, fine-tune, and evaluate speech recognition models using large-scale speech datasets.
  • Improve recognition accuracy for multilingual, domain-specific, and noisy audio environments.
  • Develop real-time and batch speech recognition solutions.
  • Optimize models for latency, throughput, memory efficiency, and inference performance.
  • Integrate ASR models into voice assistants, conversational AI systems, call center platforms, and enterprise applications.
  • Develop data pipelines for speech data collection, annotation, augmentation, and quality validation.
  • Evaluate model performance using industry-standard speech recognition metrics.
  • Collaborate with NLP Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, AI Engineers, Data Scientists, and Product teams.
  • Deploy speech recognition models using MLOps and cloud-native deployment practices.
  • Monitor production performance and continuously improve model quality.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, Speech Technology, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in speech recognition, speech processing, machine learning, or AI engineering.
  • Strong programming skills in Python.
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Solid understanding of digital signal processing (DSP) fundamentals.
  • Experience with speech processing libraries such as SpeechBrain, ESPnet, Hugging Face Transformers, torchaudio, librosa, or Kaldi.
  • Experience training and fine-tuning deep learning models.
  • Familiarity with Linux development environments, Git, and containerization using Docker.
  • Understanding of cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with modern ASR architectures such as Whisper, Conformer, wav2vec 2.0, DeepSpeech, or RNN-Transducer (RNN-T).
  • Experience deploying speech recognition models using ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, NVIDIA Triton Inference Server, or TorchServe.
  • Knowledge of multilingual and low-resource language speech recognition.
  • Experience with streaming speech recognition and real-time inference.
  • Familiarity with speech enhancement, voice activity detection (VAD), speaker diarization, and keyword spotting.
  • Experience with MLOps tools such as MLflow, Kubeflow, or cloud AI platforms.
  • Knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs) for speech understanding and conversational AI.
