Tesla is seeking a Audio DSP Algorithms Engineer who has had 5+ years of design and implementation experience in developing audio algorithms. This engineer should have a strong mathematical foundation in signal processing, and a strong understanding of the design of embedded systems. This engineer must thrive in a start-up company environment with great opportunities for growth and spectacular achievement.

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 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
• Work cross functionally with other teams within Tesla and drive the timely implementation of dependencies

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in embedded C/C++ programming, board bring-up, profiling, optimization, simulation, and various levels of testing (SW only, HW/SW integration, etc.)
• 2+ years of experience 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
• 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
• Signal processing intuition regarding time/frequency duality, implications of discrete time signal processing, and implementation details on fixed/floating point architectures
• Solid acoustics intuition
• Adept at working with cross functional team-members from multiple disciplines to reach fact-based decisions
• Strong problem solving skills and desire to work in fast paced environment
