Responsibilities

Implement, port, and validate DSP algorithms for embedded audio applications, translating reference models into production-quality C/C++.
Own DSP components from implementation planning through integration, verification, and release, and communicate progress, risks, and technical tradeoffs.
Develop modular, reusable processing blocks and integrate them into configurable audio chains and embedded frameworks.
Apply fixed-point and floating-point techniques, select appropriate numerical representations, and validate behavior against reference models.
Profile and optimize compute, memory, latency, and real-time performance on DSP and embedded targets such as Cadence HiFi, ARM, and Qualcomm Hexagon.
Build unit tests, reference test vectors, and automated regression tests; document numerical accuracy, audio behavior, and target performance.
Debug algorithm and system integration issues on reference and product hardware using lab equipment, debuggers, and profiling tools.
Collaborate with firmware engineers on interfaces, build environments, and integration dependencies, adapting implementations as requirements evolve.
Contribute to design and code reviews, maintain clear technical documentation, and provide guidance to less experienced engineers.
