Job summary

Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company, seeks a Senior Embedded Engineer to architect audio DSP pipelines for robotic platforms. Lead cross-functional teams across hardware, software, and product management to deliver real-time embedded audio solutions.

You’ll mentor teammates, specify electroacoustic components, and drive algorithm optimization from prototype to production in a fast-paced robotics context.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
• 5+ years of leading design or architecture of new and existing systems
• Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
• 7+ years developing DSP algorithms for embedded or real-time systems
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python or MATLAB for signal-processing algorithm development
• Experience with microphone and speaker selection and characterization
• Deep signal-processing fundamentals: time/frequency duality, discrete-time signal processing, fixed- and floating-point implementation
• Hands-on prototype builds, hardware bring-up of audio subsystems, or design iteration cycles
• Practical knowledge of ML architecture design, data analysis, and training/evaluation methodologies for audio systems
• Experience with board bring-up, profiling, optimization, simulation, and manufacturing test fixture design, production test plans, yield analysis, and test-to-spec validation
• Experience debugging embedded systems and working with audio lab equipment
• Proven ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams at all organizational levels
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Audio/Acoustics, or a related field

Responsibilities

• Architect the audio processing pipeline at the embedded system level
• Serve as the subject-matter expert on audio and signal-processing algorithms, providing technical guidance across electrical, mechanical, ID, and software teams
• Integrate and validate DSP algorithms on embedded, real-time platforms
• Research and specify electroacoustic components (microphones, speakers)
• Adapt and tune algorithms for varying hardware, software, and system constraints
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, systems, software, and product management
• Manage and direct external audio and acoustics consultants, defining SOWs and integrating third-party acoustic design inputs into a program
• Partner with vendors on test and production activities
