This is a hands-on technical leadership role for an engineer who combines deep DSP expertise with the judgment to make system-level decisions and guide complex engineering efforts. You will work at the intersection of research and product engineering, turning reference algorithms into efficient, portable DSP components and configurable audio processing chains. You will define approaches that enable reuse across platforms, reduce duplicated implementations, and improve quality and maintainability. This role is based onsite in Framingham, MA, working directly with algorithm, systems, firmware, and hardware teams. You will also provide technical direction to engineers across locations and collaborate with ML and ANC/ANR specialists when their technologies intersect with the audio subsystem., * Lead DSP architecture and technical execution across product platforms, defining component boundaries, interfaces, processing chains, and requirements for performance and validation. * Translate research algorithms and MATLAB/Simulink models into production-quality C/C++ implementations; remain directly involved in coding, optimization, and debugging. * Establish reusable DSP components and configurable reference chains, making deliberate trade-offs between common implementations and justified platform or product variants. * Guide fixed-point and floating-point design, including numerical precision, scaling, saturation, stability, and agreement with reference models. * Lead profiling and optimization for compute, memory, latency, and power constraints on DSP and embedded processors, including Cadence HiFi, ARM, and Qualcomm Hexagon platforms. * Lead hands-on hardware bring-up, lab debugging, and performance characterization; resolve complex real-time, algorithm, and integration failures with partner teams. * Define validation strategies using reference outputs, test vectors, automated regression tests, and target measurements to demonstrate audio quality and implementation correctness. * Set engineering standards for design reviews, code quality, documentation, and release readiness; mentor engineers and guide technical decisions across distributed teams. * Partner with research and product teams to clarify requirements, assess technical risks, and make practical delivery decisions as priorities and platform needs evolve.
