Job Overview

 

Qualcomm multimedia audio systems group develops a broad spectrum of advanced audio signal processing technologies, including echo cancellation, noise reduction, array signal processing, acoustic enhancement, voice enhancement, active noise cancellation, audio effects, voice activation, etc. Such technologies are broadly adopted in mobile phones, IoT (internet of things), virtual reality, and automotive applications. An audio systems engineer is expected to follow through the entire life cycle of the technologies, including defining the problem, algorithm development and simulation, algorithm programming with popular programming language such as C, guiding technology implementation teams onto embedded platforms or hardware, engaging with leading customers to ensure successful product launch, and providing trainings to both internal teams and customers. The engineer will have opportunity to work with multiple internal teams across different time zones. Up to 10% or less travel on average. Responsibilities: The selected candidate will have responsibilities in one or more of the following areas:

·  Technology research and algorithm development, leading to both reference design and intellectual property (IP);

·  Algorithm implementation using fixed point arithmetic;

·  Demo prototyping and preparation;

·  Providing documentation and support to internal teams for technology productization.

·  Provide support to marketing team for technology promotion;

·  Working with both internal teams and customers to successfully commercialize the technologies;

·  Technology evaluation and competitive analysis.

Minimum Qualifications

 

·  Solid background on digital signal processing fundamentals.
