Salary
💰 $90,000 - $144,000 per year
About the role
- Work as part of a cross-functional team to create, design & implement cutting-edge audio features and products
- Collaborate with colleagues, other engineers, and product managers to identify and document performance metrics and architectural options
- Brainstorm with colleagues, stakeholders, and other engineers to identify valuable use cases for Shure customers empowered by AI/ML and optimize and platform solutions.
- Design custom machine learning models and algorithms targeting audio functionality (single and multi-channel audio processing algorithms, speech enhancement, music enhancement, audio classification, etc.) within latency/computation constraints.
- Transform and optimize models to support implementation requirements.
- Work with Software Engineers to identify and optimize input features, frame rates, model structures, and other characteristics that impact algorithmic performance.
- Measure model/algorithm performance against identified metrics and fine-tune to optimize outcomes.
- Conduct subjective listening tests to balance results with objective results.
- Identify and collect relevant data to create robust training and test datasets, including purchase/license opportunities, in-house collected data, and simulation of algorithms within pre-defined audio paths
- Exploit machine learning and advanced DSP approaches to address challenges such as processing real-time, low latency data pipelines and right-sizing solutions
- Survey literature and conduct original research and experiments to solve problems.
- Share findings and prototypes with colleagues, senior staff, and executives
- Record findings, results, and notes in collaborative documentation tools, either independently or in collaboration with the team.
- Contribute to intellectual property, participate in brainstorming, and encourage innovation in the group
- Utilize in-house annotation tools and/or third-party partners
- Adopt mature machine learning software engineering practices (e.g. shared toolkits, repos, experiment tracking).
- Track industry/academia progress, attend training/conferences, and integrate advancements into work
- Collaborate to solve specific problems, sometimes tangential to your expertise.
