Job description

We are partnered with a globally recognised audio technology organisation behind professional products used by musicians, producers, engineers, venues and touring professionals around the world.

They are looking for a DSP Engineer in Manchester with experience developing digital signal processing for hardware-based audio products. This role focuses on implementing and optimising DSP algorithms within physical audio devices and embedded platforms, rather than software plugins or standalone applications.

In this DSP Engineer role in Manchester, you will:

• Develop and optimise DSP algorithms for implementation on embedded processors and dedicated audio hardware
• Implement and test real-time audio processing within physical products, balancing performance, latency and sound quality
• Integrate DSP algorithms with embedded software, firmware and hardware platforms
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineers throughout product development, system integration and testing
• Investigate and optimise signal processing techniques to improve the performance and functionality of professional audio products

The ideal DSP Engineer will have:

• Commercial experience developing DSP for hardware-based products, such as embedded audio systems, digital mixing consoles, amplifiers or other dedicated audio devices
• Strong knowledge of digital signal processing algorithms and real-time audio processing
• Experience programming in C or C++, with MATLAB or Python also beneficial
• An understanding of embedded processors, DSP platforms and the integration of signal processing algorithms into physical hardware
• A genuine passion for audio technology, music or professional sound products

This is an opportunity to join a global audio technology leader, working alongside talented engineers on challenging projects that contribute to the next generation of professional audio products. You'll play a key role in developing the DSP technology at the heart of products used by audio professionals worldwide.

This role is based on-site in Manchester, UK. Relocation assistance is available for suitable candidates.
