Job description

  • Development of audio processing stack: Drive the implementation and optimization of the infotainment audio software stack.
  • Develop and integrate voice communication and voice recognition solutions for IVI (In-vehicle infotainment) platforms.
  • Work closely with HW engineers and the system integration team to ensure tight integration and that the audio stack meets high-quality standards.
  • Work closely with QA team to perform comprehensive testing, debugging, and validation.

Requirements

This is a hands-on engineering role. The ideal candidate should be comfortable developing, integrating, debugging, tuning, and validating audio algorithms on an embedded production platform., * Audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Strong hands-on development experience with speech and microphone-array signal processing algorithms. Experience with several of the following components is expected:

  • Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC)
  • Adaptive Beamforming: MVDR or similar techniques
  • Noise Reduction (NR)
  • Residual Echo Suppression (RES)
  • Voice Activity Detection (VAD)
  • Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
  • Wind noise reduction
  • Directional of Arrival (DoA) estimation
  • Speech enhancement
  • Audio Post-Processing: Hands-on experience developing or integrating real-time audio playback and post-processing pipelines, including:
  • Audio mixing / routing
  • Volume / Gain control
  • Mute / ducking
  • Channel mapping
  • Equalization
  • Audio filtering
  • Sample rate conversion, etc.
  • ALSA / Linux Audio: Strong understanding of Linux audio architecture, particularly ALSA
  • Real-time Audio SW Development experience: Strong C/C++ software development experience with real-time audio processing systems., * Commercialization experience: Voice communication and/or Voice recognition features
  • Automotive / IVI Experience - Strong Plus: Experience developing audio systems for automotive or IVI platforms is highly desirable.
  • Hands-on experience with DSP Concepts Audio Weaver (AWE) is highly desirable.
