If you’re excited about building impactful technology in a dynamic, hands-on environment, we’d love to hear from you!

About The Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior DSP Engineer to join our team and help build high- performance real-time signal processing software across a wide range of hardware architectures. In this role, you will design and implement DSP algorithms and full embedded applications that run on systems ranging from ARM-based platforms to VLIW processors and dedicated DSP and vector processors. As a DSP engineer, you will work closely with the Algorithm team, as well as system, silicon, and software teams, to translate high-level signal processing concepts into production-grade implementations optimized for real-time embedded environments.

What You'll Do

Design and implement DSP algorithms across multiple chip architectures (ARM, VLIW, SIMD/vector DSPs, and proprietary accelerators).
Work in tight collaboration with the Algorithm team to refine algorithm definitions, validate numerical behavior, and support floating-point to fixed-point transitions.
Develop and optimize performance-critical kernels using chip-specific intrinsics, vector operations, and low-level optimization techniques.
Analyze compiler output and optimize generated code through assembly review, compiler reports, and profiling-driven tuning.
Build complete DSP processing pipelines and applications in multi-processor / multi-core environments for real-time embedded systems.
Optimize system-level performance including compute scheduling, memory/bandwidth usage, latency budgets, and real-time constraints.
Debug and root-cause issues related to performance, numerical stability, and real-time correctness across hardware and software boundaries.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Algorithm, Architecture, Silicon, Verification, and Embedded SW teams to ensure correct integration and best system-level performance.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
At least 5 years of hands-on experience implementing DSP algorithms in production systems
Proven experience implementing and optimizing DSP software on architectures such as VLIW and SIMD/vector processors (and/or ARM-based platforms), including performance-critical kernel development
Experience with low-level performance optimization techniques, including use of chip- specific intrinsics and analysis of compiler-generated assembly code
Experience developing real-time embedded software in multi-core / multi-processor environments
Experience working with MATLAB and Python for algorithm development, modeling, validation, or prototyping

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with specific DSP platforms and toolchains (e.g., Xtensa, Hexagon, CEVA, or proprietary VLIW/vector DSP processors)
Experience implementing high-rate signal processing pipelines for sensor or perception systems (radar, lidar, camera, audio, or similar)
Strong familiarity with RTOS environments, real-time scheduling, and synchronization primitives
Understanding of SoC-level integration topics such as memory hierarchy, DMA engines, cache behavior, and accelerator interfaces
Experience building automated testing, CI/regression frameworks, and performance regression tracking for embedded DSP software

Benefits (subject to location and local regulations)

Competitive salary and equity
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
401(k) retirement plan
Flexible vacation and time-off policy
Collaborative, fast-paced, and inclusive work environment
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies with a highly cross-functional team

The Pay Range For This Role Is

150,000 - 220,000 USD per year(Bay Area, CA)
