The position requires a deep knowledge in signal processing algorithms, fixed-pointed algorithms and optimization technical including the use of assembly language, as well as an excellent understanding of DSP architectures.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual for whom working with different tool chains under various operating systems in hardware close environments is fun and not a challenge.

The candidate will be part of the engineering team in Beijing and work closely together with other Dolby engineering entities in the US, Germany and Australia. We expect the candidate to build-up expert knowledge on highly efficient Dolby audio engines. Working in an international environment requires excellent verbal and written English communication skills.

Essential Job Functions:

• Implement Dolby’s audio signal processing algorithms for both floating-point and fixed-point platforms.
• Port and optimize audio signal processing algorithms to embedded fixed-point devices in a timely manner based on assigned portions of projects and existing architectures.
• Write code, following best practices in embedded SW-engineering, leading to well documented, reliable and easy to maintain SW-components.
• Validate and maintain correct behavior of SW-components via automated unit tests.
• Serve as a team member with responsibility for maintaining embedded sub-components.
• Work together with the development teams in the US, Germany and Australia to improve Dolby’s products.
• Be a local resource on embedded Dolby audio technologies by combining an understanding of algorithmic behavior with a good knowledge of processor architectures.
• Seek to increase knowledge by attending internal and external trainings and conferences.
• Contribute ideas for new technologies, tools, or methodologies.
• Share relevant information within the project team.
• Provide technical assistance to non-engineering teams such as Research.
