Core Audio Software Engineer joins the Media, Graphics, & Compute Technologies team to drive the technical direction of spatial audio playback across various platforms. This role involves owning the architecture of audio decoding and rendering, including for APAC and Dolby Atmos, while managing the real-time audio mixing engine that houses powerful DSP for features like Spatial Audio and Enhance Dialogue. The engineer will architect the end-to-end spatial audio pipeline, manage relationships with external codec vendors, and design system-level APIs for integration across frameworks. Key technical requirements include expert C++ systems programming (C++17 or later), experience with real-time signal processing, mixer graphs, and hardware I/O. The role requires deep knowledge of multichannel audio formats, AAC, Dolby codecs, and potentially Apple audio frameworks like Audio Toolbox or Core Audio to solve complex immersive audio challenges.
