Software Development Manager

About the Role

We are looking for an Audio Algorithm Development Manager to lead the design and deployment of high-performance audio algorithms for next-generation of audio enabled multimedia platforms. This role combines audio/DSP expertise with people leadership owning audio algorithm development from concept and modeling through validation and product release.

You will work at the heart of audio solutions balancing audio quality latency power and compute constraints while collaborating closely with hardware firmware and product teams.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

Lead development of audio algorithms including (but not limited to):

Equalization Dynamic Range Control (DRC) loudness management

Speaker protection

Spatial audio stereo widening crosstalk cancellation

Noise suppression

Psychoacoustic tuning and perceptual optimization

Drive algorithm performance under real-time low-power and fixed-point constraints.

Guide modeling simulation and objective/perceptual evaluation of audio quality.

Review and approve algorithm architectures trade-offs and optimizations.

Team & People Management

Build manage and mentor a team of audio algorithm engineers.

Set technical direction and enforce best practices in DSP design and implementation.

Conduct design reviews code reviews and performance evaluations.

Support career growth and technical depth within the team.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with architects hardware designers firmware teams and silicon validation.

Collaborate with product management and OEM partners on audio requirements and tuning targets.

Support post-silicon bring-up debugging and field issue resolution.

Execution & Delivery

Own audio algorithm roadmaps schedules and risk assessments.

Ensure on-time delivery of production-ready audio algorithms.

Drive documentation IP reuse and scalability across product generations.

Why Join Us

Lead audio innovation that ships in millions of consumer devices.

Work at the intersection of acoustics DSP and silicon.

Influence product direction from early architecture to final tuning.
