ROLE OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVE We are looking for exceptional Speech & Audio AI Evaluation Specialists with genuine in-house Global Capability Centre (GCC) / Captive international voice experience to evaluate state-of-the-art Speech-to-Speech (S2S), Text-to-Speech (TTS), and real-time conversational voice agents. Unlike traditional transcription or BPO roles, this specialist position demands a highly trained auditory ear to evaluate prosody, cadence, phonetic accuracy, emotional steering, and paralinguistic nuance across global English dialects. Candidates must possess C2 level near-native fluency to execute rigorous human-preference and synchronization benchmarks. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES & CORE WORKFLOWS
- S2S & TTS Naturalness Scoring: Evaluate live Speech-to-Speech and neural Text-to-Speech outputs across intelligibility, rhythm, and conversational cadence.Paralinguistic & Emotion Steering Evaluation: Benchmark how effectively models express nuanced vocal attributes including empathy, hesitation, tone inflection, irony, and situational urgency.Pairwise Audio Preference Ratings: Conduct blinded, head-to-head auditory preference evaluations between candidate audio completions, providing detailed perceptual rationales.
- Multi-Modal data validations: Verify multi-modal synchronization, lip-sync alignment, and acoustic scene consistency for video dubbing and avatar-driven speech models.Accent & Dialect Calibration:
Apply standardized rubric metrics uniformly across North American, British, Australian, and international English accents without regional bias.Defensible Auditory Documentation: Document timestamped acoustic anomalies, unnatural vocal artifacts, metallic distortion, and hallucinated phonetic segments. CANDIDATE PROFILE & QUALIFICATIONS Mandatory Requirements Experience: 2+ years of dedicated international voice process experience exclusively within a Captive / In-House Global Capability Centre (GCC) serving US/global client bases.Language Mastery: C2 near-native English proficiency with absolute mastery over conversational nuances, colloquialisms, idioms, and tonal dynamics.Acoustic Acuity: Formally trained auditory ear for subtle vocal inflections, pitch modulation, cadence shifts, and articulation artifacts.Preferred Qualifications
- Linguistics & Phonetics: Academic coursework or practical background in phonetics, phonology, auditory acoustics, or speech-language pathology.
- Speech QA Background: Prior skilled experience in voice quality analytics, acoustic data annotation, or speech synthesis evaluation.
- Acoustic Acuity: Formally trained auditory ear for subtle vocal inflections, pitch modulation, cadence shifts, and articulation artifacts.
- Multilingual Ability: Additional fluency in major European, Asian, or Latin American languages to support cross-lingual speech benchmarks.
