Role Overview

As part of the DSP Customer Engineering Team, this role supports Qualcomm Wearable, Mobile, XR, and Auto customer projects with a solid focus on digital signal processing DSP development and optimization. The role involves addressing DSP, audio, and voice-related issues reported by customers and ensuring high-performance solutions across diverse platforms. This role requires an end-to-end understanding of audio use cases, DSP frameworks, algorithm integration, and DSP stability,



along with close collaboration with cross-functional teams within Qualcomm to accelerate customer problem resolution. The work includes DSP customization, issue debugging, algorithm porting, analysis of audio and voice call performance, and real-time debugging while interfacing with DSP frameworks.

Responsibilities

- This role supports DSP customer activities in both ADSP and HTP across Linux and Windows environments. It involves working on DSP customization, debugging issues, and porting algorithms, along with analyzing and improving audio and voice call performance and performing real-time debugging. The role also requires collaboration with cross-functional teams to resolve customer-reported issues effectively.

Qualifications / Skills Experience

- The position requires 47 years of hands-on DSP development experience, including module porting, optimization, and real-time debugging on embedded platforms, along with strong expertise in DSP architectures such as ADSP, CDSP, and Hexagon, and experience with RTOS concepts for real-time audio processing.
- Candidates should have 47 years of experience in Android audio framework, DSP debugging, DSP module porting, DSP hardware architecture, DSP power and performance, and DSP hardware interfaces.
- Experience with audio frameworks such as AudioReach, Android Audio HAL, Audio Policy Manager, and Audio Flinger is an added advantage.
- The role also requires experience in DSP assembly coding, scalar optimization, and vector optimizations, along with a background in signal processing algorithms, including filters, echo cancellation, noise suppression, beamforming, and voice enhancement. Experience working on any DSP, including porting and optimization of different algorithms along with real-time debugging, is an added advantage, as is experience with wearables and XR audio stack.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to debug complex DSP/audio issues in real time. Excellent communication skills (written and verbal), the ability to work in a team, and customer interaction experience are also required.
