Our recruiters monitor these requisitions and will contact you if we want to talk to you directly. In the meantime, consider joining our Talent Community to receive regular updates regarding openings.


About the Role

As a Principal DSP Software Engineer you will work on products that will be developed for OEM automotive amplifiers and other similar audio processing products.  Products typically consist of a microcontroller for configuration, communication and control and a DSP processor for audio processing.  Software development work will be mainly working within complex, multi-threaded, multi-processor or multi-core architectures and audio frameworks to integrate DSP algorithms and control structures.

Your Team

This position does not have any direct or indirect reports; but principal level engineers are expected to mentor more junior engineers and help guide their careers and activities.

What You Will Do

  • Develop and integrate audio DSP algorithms within complex, multi-threaded, multi-processor architectures and control structures for the automotive environment.
  • Develop production ready software following a defined software development process.
  • Estimate processing resources including MIPS, ROM and RAM
  • Optimize individual algorithms and total system performance.
  • Analyze performance impacts of block size, sample rate, memory organization, cache usage and code structure.
  • Analyze multiple approaches to a problem and chose the best solution based on experience and sound engineering practices.
  • Present and defend technical decisions to peers and engineering management using facts.
  • Work closely with other engineering groups to ensure total tuned system performance.
  • Develop test plans and appropriate test vectors for independent validation of audio features.
  • Drive peer review of designs. Be an expert authority in reviews of team member contributions. Supervise and review contributions from the development team
  • Provide estimates of group programming effort to size the scope of projects.
  • Investigate new DSP audio related technologies and best practices.
  • Manage small projects and technical resources, including planning, estimating and follow through.
 

What You Need

  • Bachelor’s /master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or equivalent
  • 8+ years of embedded software development or testing
  • 8+ years of C/C++ or other structured language
  • 8+ years of experience in the DSP and/or audio field
  • Deep knowledge of filtering, speech processing, noise control and telecommunications algorithms in both time and frequency domains
  • Strong understanding of DSP frameworks and how individual DSP algorithms interface and interact with each other, the control software and tool interfaces in an optimized way
  • Experience with tuning/calibrating systems of algorithms.
  • Expert in several embedded system debuggers, emulators, compilers, etc.
  • Working knowledge of embedded operating systems (schedulers, memory management, driver models, RTOS concepts
  • Experienced working with and/or leading offshore development teams
