  • Experience using Python for test automation, validation, or data analysis
  • Solid understanding of digital signal processing fundamentals
  • Basic knowledge of real-time or embedded systems concepts
  • Strong debugging, problem-solving, and analytical skills
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience implementing or optimizing DSP algorithms
  • Familiarity with vector processors, SIMD architectures, or DSP platforms
  • Experience with MATLAB or Python for algorithm validation and prototyping
  • Exposure to embedded SoC platforms and heterogeneous compute architectures
  • Familiarity with RTOS environments or embedded Linux
  • Experience developing test frameworks, validation tools, or CI pipelines

Benefits (subject to location and local regulations)

  • Competitive salary and equity 
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage 
  • 401(k) retirement plan 
  • Flexible vacation and time-off policy 
  • Collaborative, fast-paced, and inclusive work environment 
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies with a highly cross-functional team
