Additional Notes/Comments

5 years minimum experience in audio and single processing software development. 5 years of experience in designing and implementing complex real-time systems using C/C++ for embedded processors.

Surrounding team & key projects: Primarily dealing with algorithm mapping and algorithm optimization for mainly DSP platforms.

Typical Day-to-Day in the role:

Study the state of the audio algorithms.

Design the appropriate software/hardware partitioning, develop, and optimize them.

What makes this role interesting? - Developing silicon solutions, IP solutions for the next gen AR/VR headsets. The group is at the center of the latest cutting-edge technology from both intellectual property for AR/VR, and silicon development. Any candidate would be bringing their expertise, but also learning a lot of new technologies.
