Overall Purpose
Ensure high quality audio performance in GN headsets by porting, integrating, validating audio DSP algorithms from reference platforms to specific target platforms (chipsets/OS/SDKs), securing robust, real time operation in mass produced products. Furthermore, troubleshooting complex audio DSP platform-related issues, feeding insights back the product development cycle.
Key Responsibilities
▲ Algorithm porting, integration, optimization to the target platforms.
• Port existing audio DSP algorithms (e.g., Noise reduction, Beamforming, AEC, EQ, ANC) from reference implementations to the specific target platforms.
• Embed the ported algorithm the existing FW stack of the target platform, including defined interfaces, data flow, control mechanism fseamless operation of headset’s overall system.
• Adapt optimize code to target SDKs, toolchains, audio frameworks while maintaining algorithm behaviperformance.
• Handle fixed point floating point implementations, data formats, platform specific constraints.
▲ Integrate DSP/HW modules of target platforms overall audio signal chain
• Understthe flow of audio data from transducers through various DSP blocks out to the speakers transmission channels.
• Work with the platform’s specific hardware abstraction layer audio peripherals (ADCs, DACs, I2S/PCM interfaces, transducers).
▲ Validation verification of the ported algorithms integrated modules.
• Develop execute comprehensive test plans to verify the functionality performance of individual DSP blocks the complete audio signal chain.
• Regression test - ensure new changes optimizations do not compromise the existing functionality.
▲ Debugging & problem solving
• Perform low level debugging using debuggers, emulators, specialized tools to diagnose issues within the DSP firmware, hardware registers, memory, real time execution flow.
• Identify root causes of audio anomalies unexpected behaviors that might be caused by DSP algorithms, hardware interactions, OS scheduling, interference.
• Analyze field logs, audio recordings, reported symptoms, then potentially developed specific diagnostic tools FW builds ffield testing. At the end, provide timely resolution implement robust fixes.
