Subject: Opportunities at Advanced Bionics From: Leonid Litvak <LeonidL@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 30 May 2010 13:58:37 -0700 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --001636498d390f59740487d6012f Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 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@xxxxxxxx (or simply reply to this email). I look forward to hearing from you! Leo *Research DSP Engineer*** *A. Primary Function* Provide technical support, and contribute to efforts of the existing team that conducts research on optimal ways of encoding speech and music for cochlear implant recipients. *B. Duties and responsibilities* 1. Implement new embedded firmware and software that operates on custom hardware platforms based on DSP processors and custom ICs for use in cochlear implant systems. - Interface to custom IC circuitry, conversion circuitry, analog circuitry, sensor/transducer interface circuitry, and communication circuitry. - Implement optimized signal processing algorithms supporting speech processing strategies for cochlear implant processing - Work with existing firmware and software to make design changes, performance improvements and resolve design errors as needed. 2. Perform bench-testing of research software and firmware systems. - Design and implement tests to be run on test equipment. - Capture test data, generate test reports, and other supporting documentation per the development process. *C. Specialized Knowledge & Skills * 1. Strong skills for programming in MATLAB required. 2. Familiarity with implementing embedded software applications in C and assembler on DSP platforms. 3. Low-level fixed-point DSP programming experience for low-power signal processing applications is desirable. 4. Ability to work with cross functional groups to debug and troubleshoot systems issues. 5. Familiarity with .NET/C# programming is a plus. 6. Background in audio digital signal processing is a plus. *D. Experience * A minimum of 3 years relevant diverse experience in the development of software for research purposes, preferably for a medical application highly desired. Experience with embedded systems preferred. Experience with data acquisition systems preferred. *E. Education & Training * BS, MS or Ph.D. degree in Electrical/Computer/Biomedical Engineering or a related field. --001636498d390f59740487d6012f Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div class=3D"im"><div>Dear List,</div> <div>=A0</div> <div>Advanced Bionics is a company that develops cochlear = implant=20 technology.
