Job Summary
Embedded Software Engineer with3D Audio Processing (DSP) Experience. 10yrs+ experience coding in C and C++and architecting software for consumer, audio, or wireless products. Key skillset is experience designing “3D” (Spatial Positioning) audio algorithms forAugmented Reality (AR) applications. Other desired audio processing experience includenoise cancelling, echo cancelling, filtering, and AGC. Ability to read and understand electrical schematics. Experience working closely with hardware engineers evaluating hardware/software tradeoffs, selecting microprocessors and peripheral components, and resurrecting early hardware prototypes. User andstrong advocate of structured software developmentincluding architecting, documenting, writing modular code,bug tracking, revision tracking, design reviews, validation and regression testing of the software written. Ability to work independently or as part of a team. Position provides opportunity for both new ground-up development, as well as maintainingand upgrading existing products.
