- Coding experience in one or more languages, including but not limited to: C/C++ (≥ v.11), CUDA C/C++, MPI, OpenMP, Python, or MATLAB
- Expertise in one or more of the below research areas: Numerical Simulation of Acoustics, Binaural Synthesis, Geometrical and/or Wave-based Room Acoustics modeling techniques, Vibroacoustics, Verification and Validation (V&V) of mathematical models
- Strong mathematical fundamentals, including linear algebra, computational physics, and numerical methods
- Experience with parallel computing, algorithm design, data structures, computational complexity, and/or large-scale C/C++ systems
- Experience with HPC clusters, psychoacoustics, audio and DSP fundamentals, computer graphics, stochastic processing, statistical analysis
- Proven track record of achieving results as demonstrated in accepted papers in top conferences or journals such as DAFx, WASPAA, Journal of Computational Acoustics, JASA, JAES, Journal of Computational Physics, etc
Responsibilities
- Design, document, implement, integrate, and optimize novel algorithms to solve audio research problems
- Experimental design, implementation, and execution to evaluate new audio technologies
- Collaboration with and support of other researchers across audio and acoustic engineering disciplines
- Collaborate with other software engineers in the team to seamlessly integrate, solve, or optimize research and/or algorithms
- Communication of research agenda, progress, and results
Other
- Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
- Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree in the field of Acoustics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related STEM fields
- Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment
- Intent to return to a degree-program after the completion of the internship/co-op
