Embedded Audio Firmware Engineer

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Firmware Engineer to play a key role in the design and development of advanced audio signal‑processing capabilities for our innovative products, used by the world’s leading smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working close to the hardware and is comfortable operating across the full stack—from software architecture and algorithm design through to low‑level DSP firmware development and performance optimisation for throughput, power, and latency.

You will collaborate closely with hardware and systems engineering teams across the business, helping to take products from early concept through to production readiness.

• Design, implement, and maintain embedded firmware for DSP cores.
• Develop firmware using a mix of C/C++ (and selective assembly where appropriate), with strong focus on fixed point performance, memory, and power optimization.
• Design, simulate, characterize and optimize algorithms to prove that they meet intended goals, and map to the constraints of custom hardware or DSP cores.
• Develop test strategies: unit tests, test harnesses and lab setups to prove the capabilities and limitations of experimental algorithms, and provide manufacturing/production diagnostics.
• Collaborate with our chip design, applications, systems and marketing teams to define requirements and interfaces.
• Contribute to driving new ideas, creating IP, methodologies and techniques to improve existing software solutions.
• Contribute to documentation and planning: design and requirement specs, interface specs, work packages, and bring-up guides.
• Participate in code reviews and help establish best practices for embedded quality, and maintainability.
