Your tasks

• Implement firmware on a deeply embedded AI platform with tight latency, memory, compute and energy constraints
• Collaborate with our AI and DSP experts to analyze Sonova’s audio AI algorithms for hearables and hearing aid applications
• Tailor AI algorithms to the embedded platform (e.g. quantization, scaling according to the memory and compute constraints)
• Optimize performance, energy, latency throughout the entire embedded AI software stack
  
  
  

Your profile

• Degree in computer science, electrical engineering or a comparable qualification
• Profound experience in embedded C/C++, Python, and object-oriented programming
