The System Algorithm Designer for Hardware joins the Multimedia Systems Engineering Group to develop state-of-the-art algorithms for single and multi-sensor fusion. Working within the Sensors Technologies group, the role involves the entire product life cycle from early R&D to commercial deployment. Key responsibilities include developing fixed-point designs, balancing performance against power consumption and computational complexity, and creating evaluation reports. The candidate will use MATLAB and Python for high-level development and C/C++ for software implementation on Qualcomm platforms. The work requires applying digital signal processing, Kalman filters, linear algebra, and machine learning concepts like supervised and unsupervised learning to accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer data. This role solves technical challenges in sensor solutions for smartphones, automotive, IoT, and smartwatches.
Develop state-of-the-art algorithms for single and multi-sensor fusion for HW ASIC implementations.
Use high-level languages like MATLAB and Python to develop and model algorithms.
Create fixed-point designs for the developed algorithms.
Balance algorithm performance against power consumption and computational complexity.
Code solutions in C/C++ for software implementation on Qualcomm platforms.
Create reports on algorithm evaluation, validation, benchmarking, and user documentation.
Debug algorithm implementations in both software and hardware environments.
