We are looking for a DSP Software Developer who is enthusiastic about audio, sound, technology, problem solving, algorithms and optimization.

We welcome candidates from all experience levels, whether you are just graduating, have a few years of experience, or bring senior expertise. What matters most to us is your aptitude and your genuine interest in audio, technology, problem solving, algorithms, and optimization.

The team you will be part of:

You will be part of our local Scrum team, working together with 8 other software teams (in a SAFe framework) with one common goal: bringing new features to market as efficiently as possible, with a focus on innovation.

The position is located at our Eindhoven R&D site, Center-of-Excellence for Intelligent Audio Solutions. Our site consists of 25 people and is located on the campus of Eindhoven University of Technology. Here you will work in a friendly close-nit atmosphere and at the same time be part of a large global company. Including you, the immediate team consists of 8 people in total. We are a diverse team, working closely together, enjoying our daily interactions and meetings in the office. We also work in near collaboration with departments at our HQ in Ballerup (Denmark).

• Develop and implement new algorithms, as well as refine existing ones

• Develop, adapt and optimize these algorithms onto our ultra-low-power DSP platform

• Investigate and fix defects found in our platform

• Translate product requirements to clear development tasks according to the agile scrum development methodology

• Write and maintain concise yet comprehensive technical documentation

To succeed in the role, we imagine that you:

• Fluent speaking, reading and writing in English is a prerequisite. Knowledge of Dutch is advantageous.

Your effective communication skills allow you to collaborate easily with colleagues in your local team and remotely across the organization, and you can raise criticism constructively. You take a systematic approach to your work and have a deep sense of detail, whilst having the ability to work with deadlines. Your aptitude for rapidly acquiring knowledge is matched by your enthusiasm for consistent growth.
