Audio signal processing and coding supporting standardisation

Audio Signal Processing and Coding Supporting Standardisation

As an audio coding expert, you will join our team of standardization experts, bringing in profound knowledge of audio processing and compression techniques. Within the dynamic environment of 3D audio standardization, you will propose, implement, and test creative ideas. Based on your work, patents will be filed to bring new features to the 3D audio standards that are currently being developed. This role requires technical creativity, but also flexibility to navigate in a dynamic environment.

Your role

• Drive the creation of novel audio codecs, including the ideation, implementation, and evaluation of audio processing algorithms.
• Create standard essential patents within the framework of international standardization bodies, such as MPEG and 3GPP.
• Utilize test-driven design to ensure your implementations deliver the desired audio experience.
• Play an active role in the standardization of the audio codecs under development.

You're the right fit if:

• You hold a PhD or MSc degree in Computer Science, Engineering (Software, Computer, Electrical, Electronics/Communications, etc.).
• You are a creative team player with a minimum of 3 years of experience in Audio Digital Signal Processing algorithm development.
• You are experienced in Python and C/C++ programming.
• You are a pragmatic, hands-on researcher, exploring the merit of novel ideas within the context of audio standardization.

Preferred Skills:

• Understanding of audio (compression) codecs is a plus (such as MP3, AAC, aacPlus, EVS, and more recently for immersive audio: MPEG-H and Dolby Atmos), AR/VR, audio rendering, acoustics simulation, speech cleanup.
• Affinity with the process of drafting invention disclosures.
• Interest in active participation or a supporting role within audio standardization bodies.

How we work together
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.
