Opportunities at Advanced Bionics



Dear List,
 
Advanced Bionics is a company that develops cochlear implant technology. Our recent partnership with Sonova/Phonak (a hearing aid company) brings many exciting opportunities. There are several openings for a broad, experienced research DSP engineers to join the research team that is focused on signal processing in next-generation cochlear implant systems. A sample job description is included below.
 
If you are interested, please send your resume to me at: LeonidL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (or simply reply to this email).
 
I look forward to hearing from you!

Leo
 

Research DSP Engineer
