About the Role As a Senior DSP Software Engineer you will work on products that will be developed for OEM automotive amplifiers and other similar audio processing products.
Products typically consist of a microcontroller for configuration, communication and control and a DSP processor for audio processing.
Software development work will be mainly working within complex, multi-threaded, multi-processor or multi-core architectures and audio frameworks to integrate DSP algorithms and control structures.
Your Team This position does not have any direct or indirect reports; but principal level engineers are expected to mentor more junior engineers and help guide their careers and activities.
What You Will Do Develop and integrate audio DSP algorithms for the automotive environment Co-develop and/or work within complex, multi-threaded, multi-processor architectures and audio frameworks to integrate DSP algorithms and control structures Develop production ready software following a defined software development process Design software features and architectures for an audio amplifier platform based on interpretation of customer requirements and/or technology development initiatives Resolve design conflicts arising from multiple requirement sources and maximize code re-use, flexibility and scalability Conceptualize multiple use cases to design a single system to suit many uses Analyze and resolve incompatibility and conflicts between individual DSP algorithms under various modes of system operation Estimate processing resources including MIPS, ROM and RAM Optimize individual algorithms and total system performance Analyze performance impacts of block size, sample rate, memory organization, cache usage and code structure Analyze multiple approaches to a problem and chose the best solution based on experience and sound engineering practices Present and defend technical decisions to peers and engineering management using facts Integrate DSP algorithms with an audio framework, control software and tuning structure and extend the framework as necessary Ensure all system components are diagnosable during development and once deployed Work closely with other engineering groups to ensure total tuned system performance Develop test plans and appropriate test vectors for independent validation of audio features Perform regression and integration tests on audio features and systems Create models and documentation suitable for other developers to create an implementation Reverse-engineer designs from legacy software Drive peer review of designs.
Be an expert authority in reviews of team member contributions Supervise and review contributions from the development team Provide estimates of group programming effort to size the scope of projects Port and optimize DSP algorithms to various processors and make use of available resources, peripherals, accelerators, compiler features, etc Investigate new DSP audio related technologies and best practices Create novel software solutions to issues in audio & acoustic systems Work with software team leaders to negotiate resolution of issues Establish and coordinate activities with third party developers and contractors Communicate with peers inside the HARMAN group to coordinate software development.
This includes occasional travel for training or coordination with other groups Manage small projects and technical resources, including planning, estimating and follow through Engineer convincing quick-turn demos using available hardware and software components What You Need Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or equivalent 6-12 years overall experience 6+ years of embedded software development or testing 6+ years of C/C++ or other structured language 6+ years of experience in the DSP and/or audio field Experience developing consumer products Deep knowledge of filtering, speech processing, noise control and telecommunications algorithms in both time and frequency domains Strong understanding of DSP frameworks and how individual DSP algorithms interface and interact with each other, the control software and tool interfaces in an optimized way Experience with tuning/calibrating systems of algorithms Knowledge of features, strengths and weaknesses of various DSP platforms and algorithm approaches Expert in several embedded system debuggers, emulators, compilers, etc.
Working knowledge of embedded operating systems (schedulers, memory management, driver models, RTOS concepts Experienced working with and/or leading off-shore development teams Creative problem-solver capable of creating and reproducing complex software defects Able to read schematics and debug analog and digital hardware What is Nice to Have Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent Experience with multi-core System-on-Chip processors Experience developing automotive or military products Experience with SPICE compatible software development practices Working knowledge of personal computing and mobile device platforms Expert in MATLAB and Simulink Deep knowledge of digital communication protocols.
