The individual is expected to work independently with minimal supervision, provide technical leadership to engineers and consultants, and collaborate closely with cross‑functional partners including product management, platform, and customer engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Architecture
Own architecture and system‑level design for complex audio features and subsystems across software, DSP, and platform layers (e.g., audio frameworks, HALs, DSP pipelines, audio effects, routing, and performance optimization).




Translate product and use‑case requirements into explicit technical designs, HLDs/LLDs, and implementation plans, including APIs, control/data flows, threading models, and timing constraints.
Drive design trade‑offs related to audio quality, latency, power, memory, and system performance.
Development & Delivery
Lead implementation of high‑quality, production‑ready audio software and/or DSP components using best‑in‑class engineering practices.
Ensure features are fully validated through unit tests, integration tests, system tests, and customer validation flows before release.
Guide code integration and release into build/test/release pipelines, tracking progress through internal validation and post‑customer support phases.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
Collaborate with product owners and program leads to plan and execute audio roadmaps, milestones, and deliverables.
