Job Description

About the Role

We are looking for an Audio Algorithm Development Manager to lead the design and deployment of high-performance audio algorithms for next‑generation audio‑enabled multimedia platforms. This role combines audio/DSP expertise with people leadership, owning audio algorithm development from concept and modeling through validation and product release.

You will work at the heart of audio solutions balancing audio quality, latency, power, and compute constraints, while collaborating closely with hardware, firmware, and product teams.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

• Lead development of audio algorithms including equalization, dynamic range control (DRC), loudness management, speaker protection, spatial audio, stereo widening, crosstalk cancellation, noise suppression, psychoacoustic tuning, and perceptual optimization.
• Drive algorithm performance under real‑time, low‑power, and fixed‑point constraints.
• Guide modeling, simulation, and objective/perceptual evaluation of audio quality.
• Review and approve algorithm architectures, trade‑offs, and optimizations.

Team & People Management

• Build, manage, and mentor a team of audio algorithm engineers.
• Set technical direction and enforce best practices in DSP design and implementation.
• Conduct design reviews, code reviews, and performance evaluations.
• Support career growth and technical depth within the team.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with architects, hardware designers, firmware teams, and silicon validation.
• Collaborate with product management and OEM partners on audio requirements and tuning targets.
• Support post‑silicon bring‑up, debugging, and field issue resolution.

Execution & Delivery

• Own audio algorithm roadmaps, schedules, and risk assessments.
• Ensure on‑time delivery of production‑ready audio algorithms.
• Drive documentation, IP reuse, and scalability across product generations.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, Acoustics, or related field.
• 8+ years of experience in audio algorithm or DSP development for embedded or semiconductor systems.
• 2+ years of experience in technical leadership or people management.
• Strong foundation in digital signal processing and audio fundamentals.
• Hands‑on experience with fixed‑point implementation and real‑time constraints.
• Proficiency with MATLAB, Python, and C/C++ for algorithm development and validation.

Preferred Qualifications

• PhD / Masters in Audio DSP, Acoustics, or related discipline.
• Experience with mobile, laptop, wearable, automotive, or smart speaker audio systems.
• Familiarity with objective and subjective audio evaluation methods.
• Experience with SoC audio pipelines, DSP cores, or hardware accelerators.
• Exposure to audio interfaces such as I2S, TDM, Soundwire, Slimbus.

Key Skills

• Audio DSP & psychoacoustics
• Algorithm optimization under power and memory constraints
• Fixed‑point and real‑time system design
• Technical leadership and mentoring
• Cross‑functional communication
• Audio quality tuning and validation
