Role

The Speech & Language Scientist is a specialized role that focuses on advancing the understanding and application of speech and language technologies. This role bridges research and development, enabling cutting-edge innovations in areas such as automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language understanding (NLU), speech synthesis (TTS), and conversational AI.

Responsibilities

• Conduct cutting-edge research in speech and audio technologies, including areas such as speech recognition, speech synthesis, audio enhancement, speaker identification, and spatial audio
• Research, model, design, develop and test novel audio and speech processing algorithms using machine learning, signal processing, and computer vision
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., software engineers, product managers, and designers) to implement research into real-world applications.
• Improve accuracy of models/algorithms to solve problems encountered during the model/algorithm implementation. Coordinate various teams to solve these problems in an efficient, and effective way.
• Propose scenarios where AI techniques could improve the efficiency of target clients’ businesses.
• Invent, analyze, design, develop and optimize algorithms and models in AUDIO areas such as Speech Recognition, Text to Speech, Speaker Recognition, etc.
  
  

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with a focus on speech and audio processing, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven track record of research in speech or audio processing, demonstrated by publications in peer- reviewed journals or conferences.
• Expertise in machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and proficiency in programming languages like Python, C++, or similar.
• Strong knowledge of signal processing techniques and deep learning models for speech and audio tasks.
• Experience working with large-scale datasets and distributed computing systems.
• Proven track record of research in speech or audio processing, demonstrated by publications in peer- reviewed journals or conferences such as CVPR, ECCV, NIPS, ICASSP, InterSpeech etc
  
  

• Experience with real-time audio systems or applications in AR/VR, accessibility, or social interaction platforms.
• Familiarity with techniques for multilingual or low-resource speech recognition.
• Background in self-supervised or unsupervised learning for speech/audio representation.
• Knowledge of privacy-preserving techniques in audio data processing.
• Experience mentoring junior researchers or managing collaborative projects.
  
  

• Culture: A collaborative, globally minded team building the future of physical intelligence. We value curiosity, courage, and creativity, and we’re united by a belief that technology should amplify human potential rather than replace it.
• Impact: The opportunity to work on projects with national and global significance, from adaptive cities and resilient infrastructure to next generation sports, entertainment, healthcare, and energy. Every product you help build contributes to shaping a safer, smarter, more human centered world.
• Growth: Outstanding opportunities for learning and career development. You’ll collaborate with leaders across AI, robotics, mixed reality, and systems engineering, while working on industry first, frontier scale solutions.
• Rewards: A competitive compensation package with healthcare, education support, and generous leave benefits, reflecting the high value we place on our people and their families.
