Audio DSP ML Algorithms Engineer, Electronic Systems

Tesla is seeking an experienced Audio DSP Algorithms Engineer who has designed and implemented advanced audio processing algorithms over multiple product cycles. This Engineer should have a strong mathematical foundation in signal processing, and a strong understanding of the design of embedded systems.

Responsibilities

• Develop audio signal processing for next generation Tesla vehicles: acoustic rendering for playback, speech enhancement, acoustic detection, etc.
• Define algorithm blocks and their integration into the larger system

• Conduct end to end studies for algorithm selection, development, tuning, and validation

• Prototype the algorithm in MATLAB/python

• Implement the algorithm in C/C++ to run on device

• Validate the algorithm/implementation and set up scripts to assist validation Define validation test plans across the range of possible corner cases to ensure audio quality
• Root cause and troubleshoot algorithm performance issues across the entire acoustic/electronics/software stack

• Define and document system and component requirements for algorithm performance on prospective platforms, incorporating acoustic, hardware, and software dependencies

Requirements

• Experience in embedded C/C++ programming, board bring-up, profiling, optimization, simulation, and various levels of testing (SW only, HW/SW integration, etc.)

• Fluency in MATLAB or Python for scientific/mathematical problem solving as well as testing and data analysis

• Experience developing and implementing one or more of the following on embedded platforms: beamforming - MVDR, GSC, multichannel Wiener filter - multichannel blind source separation, multichannel echo cancellation, Kalman filter, adaptive filters

• Strong mathematical skills - advanced linear algebra, calculus, and optimization are a must

• Experience with the following is a plus: stochastic signal processing, signal detection and estimation, 3D sound, HRTFs, crosstalk cancellation, dereverberation, blind deconvolution, direction of arrival estimation, machine learning, sound event detection, anomaly detection
