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.
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.
- Support new RFQs & Engineering change request estimations and technical feasibility.
- Investigate new DSP audio related technologies and best practices.
- Lead DSP projects and technical resources, including planning, estimating, feature roll out planning and follow through.
What You Need To Be Successful
- Bachelor's /master's degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or equivalent.
- 12+ years of embedded software development or testing.
- 12+ 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.
- Creative problem-solver capable of creating and reproducing complex software defects.
- Able to read schematics and debug analog and digital hardware.
Bonus Points if You Have
