Intern, Embedded Audio Signal Processing

Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid robot, Figure 02, is designed for commercial tasks and the home. We are based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It’s time to build.

We are looking for an Embedded Software Intern to support the implementation and test of key audio-related aspects of our Humanoid software. 

Responsibilities: 

• Implement and test embedded audio signal processing software in C++ running on the Humanoid compute platform,such as echo cancellation, noise suppression and beamforming.
• Develop Python scripts to support audio algorithm tuning, data management, test automation or robot calibration.
• Contribute to the integration of projects into the  Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) infrastructure.
• Support hardware/software integration in the lab.

Requirements: 

• Graduate student or recent graduate in Computer Science or related field.
• Minimum 10 weeks internship, 1 to 2 terms preferred.
• Ability to showcase extra-academic activities working on hardware/software projects.
• Fluent with C++ and Python.
• Deep understanding of Linux.
• Deep understanding of signal processing, preferably in the audio domain.
• Good knowledge of computer architecture, communication buses and protocols like Ethernet and USB.
• Comfortable using lab instruments (Oscilloscopes, logic analyzers…) and debugging tools (Lauterbach…).

Bonus Qualifications: 

• Experience with microphone arrays.
• Experience with AI and machine learning audio processing techniques.
• Experience with Audio Precision audio analyzers.
• Experience with the Bazel build system.
• Experience with Docker containers.
