• Advance in-vehicle infotainment, safety, efficiency, and enjoyment.  

About the Role

As a Advanced Engineer, Audio System Validation, you are responsible for safeguarding system trust across the technology development lifecycle.
You apply deep DSP and system-level expertise to validate algorithmic correctness, detect regression risks, and ensure that measurable performance standards are met throughout development and prior to release.
Operating within the EPIC Validation Team, you contribute primarily by embedding technical validation and automated guardrails directly into development workflows.
 

What You Will Do

• Perform white-box validation of DSP algorithms and system-level audio processing.

• Design and execute structured signal-based validation scenarios.

• Detect artifacts, performance regression, latency issues, and algorithmic instability.

• Define measurable validation criteria aligned with System Trust standards.

• Collaborate with developers to integrate repeatable validation checks into CI environments.

• Analyze complex technical findings and translate them into actionable engineering feedback.

• Support final validation by providing technical root-cause analysis when required.

• Contribute to the evolution of automated guardrails and regression protection strategies

What You Need to Be Successful 

• Strong background (5+ years) in Digital Signal Processing (DSP), audio algorithms, or embedded audio systems

• Academic background with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Sound Engineering / Electrical Engineering / Signal Processing or equivalent

• Solid understanding of software development workflows and integration environments

• Experience performing white-box technical validation and root-cause analysis.

• Ability to independently solve moderately complex technical problems.

• Strong analytical thinking and structured documentation skills

• Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to cross-functional teams

Bonus Points if You Have  

• Experience integrating automated validation into CI/CD pipelines.

• Familiarity with performance testing in embedded systems

• Exposure to perceptual audio implications of DSP decisions

• Experience in automotive or resource-constrained systems.

• Knowledge of measurement tools and signal analysis environments

• Valid driver's license

• Proficiency in on site native language
