The »Audio and Media Technologies« division of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS in Erlangen has been shaping the globally deployed standards and technologies in the fields of audio and moving picture production for over 30 years. Starting with the creation of MP3 and continuing with the co-development of AAC and the Digital Cinema Initiative test plan, almost all consumer electronic devices, computers and mobile phones are equipped with systems and technologies from Erlangen today. Meanwhile, a new generation of best-in-class media technologies is elevating the user experience to new heights. Always keeping an eye on market requirements, the Fraunhofer IIS team develops technologies that create memorable moments. Would you like to advance and develop audio solutions on relevant hardware and software platforms together with us and do you have expertise in DSP implementation? Then we look forward to welcoming you as a new member of our research team! What you will do Have you ever heard of Fraunhofer Cingo&reg;? If not, that's not a big deal, of course. Fraunhofer Cingo&reg; offers premium 3D audio playback quality over headphones. The technology enables immersive audio experiences by placing virtual audio objects around the listener. Cingo&reg; is an established rendering solution for media such as music and movies or for the simulation of interactive audio environments in virtual and augmented reality. Smart personal audio devices such as true-wireless headphones with increasingly powerful DSPs and sensors enable the implementation of advanced rendering solutions such as Cingo&reg; directly on the device. The sustainable development of this target platform requires the resource-efficient implementation of algorithms on headphone DSPs. To complement our team, we are looking for a passionate software engineer with knowledge in DSP implementation to advance our audio solutions on relevant hardware (e.g. Airoha, BES) and software platforms (e.g. AudioWeaver from DSP Concepts). Your tasks in detail: Together with the team you will work on efficient (spatial) audio signal processing. You will contribute to the fixed-point/embedded DSP implementation of audio algorithms. You will optimize (complexity, memory consumption) algorithms on embedded systems. You will create executable demonstrators for tradeshows. What you bring to the table University degree in electrical engineering, information technology, computer science, or in a related field Basic knowledge in digital (audio) signal processing Confident use of C/C Experience in programming embedded systems (e.g. ARM Cortex A/M, Tensilica Hifi, Qualcomm Kalimba) We are also happy to welcome applications of committed Junior Professionals with basic knowledge and first practical experience from internships, student research projects or final theses. What you can expect Fraunhofer is not only the largest organization for applied research (application-oriented research organisation) in Europe, but also a top-rated employer. But why? An exciting role: We offer an attractive work environment at a global leader ina major innovative industry. Projects with a strong practical component motivate our employees to drive innovation. Our dedicated teams offer freedom for your own ideas and room for creativity. We value personal contact: With our structured onboarding process, you will quickly become familiar with our institute and be able to extend your network successfully. We take your needs seriously: We support your work-life-balance by offering flexible working hours and hybrid work. You will have ample opportunity to meet your colleagues in our community rooms, at sports courses (at the institute and online) and many other events. Our colleagues enjoy our positive work culture: We are open-minded, we help and trust each other. Top of the line infrastructure at your work place: With our state-of-the-art technologies, we develop solutions to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. Talent development already starts in school: Our programs inspire young people at an early age to pursue sciences and foster creative junior scientists. Your goals and interests are important to us: We offer ongoing professional and personal seminars, coaching and language classes. We offer equal opportunities: Our female scientists, for example, benefit from the &raquo;Fraunhofer TALENTA&laquo; career program. We offer complementary parking spaces, charging stations for electric cars and covered bicycle parking. We also have showers at the institute. We subsidize your Deutschland-Ticket (jobticket) ‒ bus stops are located directly in front of the institute. Our in-house health management organizes, e.g. sports courses, running groups and relaxation seminars. The position is initially limited to 2 years with the aim for subsequent extension. The weekly working time is 39 hours. The position can also be filled on a part-time basis with a preference, however, to have it filled as close to a full-time position as possible. We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Appointment, remuneration and social security benefits based on the public-sector collective wage agreement (TVöD). Have we aroused your interest? Then apply online now with your application documents (cover letter, resume, transcripts/references). We look forward to getting to know you!
