Subject: Job Opportunity At Advanced Bionics From: Leonid Litvak <lmlitvak@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2010 16:03:42 -0800 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --001636e0b8938a5e05047ea6f315 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Dear List, Advanced Bionics is a company that develops cochlear implant technology. Our recent partnership with Phonak (a hearing aid company) brings many exciting opportunities. There is a job opening for a broad, experienced research DSP engineer (description below) to join the research team that is focused on signal processing in next-generation cochlear implant systems. The job description is below. If you are interested, please send your resume with whatever other relevant information to me (LeonidL@xxxxxxxx). Thanks a lot, 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. 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. 2. 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. *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 is required. Experience with embedded systems preferred. Experience with data acquisition systems preferred. *E. Education & Training * MS or Ph.D. degree in Electrical/Computer/Biomedical Engineering or a related field. --001636e0b8938a5e05047ea6f315 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div>Dear List,</div> <div>=A0</div> <div>Advanced Bionics is a company that develops cochlear implant technolog= y.
