Job Requirements
1. Master's Degree or PhD Holder in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, Acoustics, Artificial Intelligence or a related field, with a focus on speech or audio. 2. Hands-on experience training and evaluating deep learning models for audio, in signal-level tasks (such as speech enhancement or voice activity detection), understanding tasks (such as speech recognition, sound event detection or audio captioning), or both; able to pick up new audio tasks quickly. 3. Solid foundation in audio signal processing: STFT, filterbank and mel features, pitch and harmonics, room acoustics and reverberation, SNR and level. 4. Familiar with audio front-end processing (noise suppression, echo cancellation, dereverberation, gain control and voice activity detection), and with how each step affects listeners and downstream models. 5. Able to design and train small, streaming models under compute, memory and latency budgets; familiar with quantisation, pruning and knowledge distillation, and with measuring model size, MACs and real-time factor. 6. Familiar with audio understanding models: speech recognition (CTC, transducer, and attention or LLM-based decoders), sound event detection and audio classification, audio captioning, and pretrained audio encoders such as Whisper, BEATs or CLAP. 7. Familiar with large audio models: audio-language models, fine-tuning them (including parameter-efficient methods such as LoRA), and connecting audio models to LLMs for question answering, summarisation or dialogue. 8. Experience in speech is highly valued, especially multilingual speech recognition (including WER and CER scoring with text normalisation, for languages with and without spaces between words) and voice interaction (end-of-turn detection and turn-taking). 9. Experience with audio data and evaluation: augmentation and synthetic mixing (noise, room impulse responses,speed perturbation, SpecAugment), test sets split by speaker, device and room rather than only by clip, and the right metric for each task. Strong programming skill in Python and PyTorch; familiar with Linux, multi-GPU training, experiment tracking and git. 10. Experience with far-field audio (for example the CHiME, DNS or AEC challenges) or on-device deployment (quantisation-aware training, ONNX / TFLite, sherpa-onnx or vendor NPU toolchains) is a plus. 11. Experience with voice agents (ASR, LLM and TTS cascades, or full-duplex speech models such as Moshi) or audiovisual models is a plus
