Audio DSP Engineering Intern

Shure is an audio technology company developing microphones, headphones, wireless audio systems, and conferencing systems. The Audio DSP Engineering Intern will support the development of digital signal processing and machine learning algorithms for intelligent audio products by modeling, testing, optimizing, and implementing real-time audio processing features. The intern will collaborate with cross-functional teams, document algorithm performance, and present contributions to stakeholders.

What you'll do:

• Deliver digital signal processing and Machine Learning features into a variety of intelligent products to provide best-in-class audio experience to end user
• Simulate algorithms using Python, Matlab, and other prototyping tools; perform objective audio testing and conduct subjective listening validation; collect and evaluate algorithm performance data
• Translate real time audio signal processing and machine learning algorithms from simulation model to floating- point DSPs, ARMs, or PC platforms in C/C++
• Optimize, test, and debug algorithm operation on real-time target platform to meet product constraints (MIPS, memory) and requirements (latency, fidelity)
• Document algorithm design and performance
• Collaborate with members of larger cross-functional development team including acoustics, analog / digital / RF hardware, mechanical, systems, and product management
• Work with technical mentor to estimate, organize, and plan work tasks
• Present personal contributions to product stakeholders and executive management
