Shape the future of hearing technology through advanced signal processing
We are looking for a highly skilled Signal Processing Engineer to join our R&D team in Erlangen. In this role, you will be instrumental in optimizing and implementing state-of-the-art audio algorithms on embedded digital signal processors (DSPs).

Location: Erlangen, Germany | Department: R&D – Signal Processing (SIP)

What you will do

Your Impact

You will work on platform development projects for our innovative hearing aid solutions. Your focus will be on real-time embedded DSP implementations, algorithm efficiency, and cross-functional technical collaboration.

Your Responsibilities

• Familiarize with major hearing aid algorithms for a broad overview on basic audio signal processing features.
• Simulate different realization options to decide for the best compromise between algorithmic performance and implementation efficiency.
• Implement hearing aid algorithms on digital signal processors (DSPs) in C/C++ using fixed point arithmetic.
• Adapt and optimize algorithms regarding computational complexity for an efficient realization on DSPs.
• Test and debug algorithms in a simulation framework as well as on hardware test platforms.
• Work within a cross-functional team with close collaboration in an international and interdisciplinary development setup

What you bring

• Master's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 2 years plus of experience with signal processing applications
• Profound and broad knowledge in the field of signal processing algorithms.
• Strong programming skills in C/C++. Experience in fixed-point arithmetics and programming in an embedded environment is desirable.
• Structured, analytical, and solution-oriented mindset.
• Fluent in English (spoken and written); German is a plus.

Why Join Us?

• Work in an international, innovation-driven environment.
• Influence the development of next-generation hearing technology.
• Collaborate with experts across hardware, software, and systems engineering.
• Experience a high degree of autonomy with technical impact.
• Attractive compensation and modern working conditions.
