At Ford, the health and safety of our employees is our top priority. Vaccination has been proven to play a critical role in combatting COVID-19. As a result, Ford has made the decision to require U.S. salaried employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, unless employees require an accommodation for religious or medical reasons. Being fully vaccinated means that an individual is at least two weeks past their final dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine regimen. As a condition of employment, newly hired employees will be required to provide proof of their COVID-19 vaccination or an approved medical or religious exemption.
What you’ll be able to do:
Lead the successful development of next generation software components for electric vehicles working with architects, engineers and other technical specialists to design an integrated solution. Audio DSP platform software development engineer will analyze requirements related to the Audio Infotainment product and design an innovative solution for the Digital Signal processing and audio platform software of the product. It involves developing and testing DSP software and audio platform software components, working with multi-core high-end SoC that runs multiple virtual domains on a Type-1 hypervisor with more than one domain sharing the Audio resources. The job involves developing efficient audio DSP algorithms for various applications, including real-time audio processing, noise cancellation, echo suppression, and audio effects, spatial audio, 3D audio, and other advanced audio processing techniques. to be seamlessly running on appropriate domains to support voice related functionalities. The Engineer should be able to provide substantial contribution to the analysis and selection of various third-party solutions and tools that could be used to develop faster-to-market DSP and platform software components that adds value to the product. The Engineer should be able to devise methods and tools that could be used for Tuning Acoustic usecases in the vehicle to achieve industry-leading Acoustic performance of the Infotainment product. Develop DSP algorithms and platform software (i.e. drivers) to cater to the AVAS specification for EV Customize, integrate and tests Audio Post processing algorithms like Bass/Treble/Mid Boost, Loudness control, Limiters, Echo and Noise cancellation algorithms for Voice usecases. Could develop innovative solutions to develop audio subsystem platform software (firmwares and drivers) for audio hardware like I2S, I2C, GPIO to route the audio output that are connected to DSP hardware. Analyse and estimate Clock and memory resources for the audio hardware and DSP solutions being designed and optimize the solution based budgeted resources.
