## About the Role

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Research Skills, Smartphones, Electrical Engineering, Audio Engineering, Internet of Things, Data Science, Cloud Computing, Image Processing, Computer Science, * Strong foundation in ML/AI with the ability to develop new algorithms and model architectures

 * Interest in perceptual media (audio, vision, and human perception) and curiosity about emerging approaches
 * A collaborative, iterative mindset-comfortable working across research and engineering teams
 * Clear communication skills: sharing ideas, reasoning about tradeoffs, and learning from feedback

What you bring (Required)

 * PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field or equivalent industry research experience
 * Research experience in one or more of: multimodal AI, generative AI, computer vision, audio analysis, audiovisual analysis
 * Demonstrated research impact through publications and/or patents in top venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CVPR, ICCV) or equivalent industry impact
 * Proficiency in Python and/or C/C++, with hands-on prototyping experience building and evaluating ML systems
 * Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical partners

What's a plus (Desired / Bonus)

 * Experience with perceptual quality metrics for video and/or audio (objective + subjective evaluation)
 * Experience working on real-time or production-scale media systems
 * Experience with model compression/optimization and deployment of deep learning models

## Description

In this role, you will develop next-generation multimodal generative AI systems for immersive audio-visual experiences. You will work at the intersection of deep learning, perceptual modeling, and media signal processing, building systems that generate, enhance, and render realistic audio-visual content at scale.

This role spans fundamental research through production deployment, with opportunities to publish, patent, and directly influence shipped technologies.

What You Will Accomplish

 * Design and develop novel multimodal AI models for immersive audio-visual content creation, enhancement, and rendering
 * Combine deep learning with perceptually grounded approaches (signal processing, human perception, and quality metrics)
 * Build prototypes and evaluate systems using both objective metrics and human/perceptual assessment
 * Partner with cross-functional teams to translate research into robust, production-ready solutions
 * Contribute to Dolby's innovation pipeline through publications, patents, and technology transfer
