• Hardware-adjacent experience such as I2S, ADC or DAC, DMA, SPI, I2C or UART
• Experience using oscilloscopes or logic analysers
• Audio measurement techniques and designing repeatable evaluation methodologies
• Always-on or low-power audio detection systems
• Familiarity with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Experience with GStreamer, WebRTC audio processing, SpeexDSP, RNNoise or similar

Responsibilities for Audio Systems Engineer:

• Design, implement and tune a robust end-to-end audio pipeline from real-time capture on-device through to cloud-based processing
• Deliver reliable performance in noisy, unpredictable real-world environments
• Implement and optimise DSP components under tight compute and power constraints
• Define objective performance metrics and build repeatable evaluation and regression testing harnesses
• Debug audio issues across the full stack using instrumentation, profiling and lab equipment where required
• Work closely with ML and cloud engineers to enable audio-driven intelligence via offline and online pipelines
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to balance quality, latency, compute, power and system complexity
