Senior Deep Learning Engineer

At Audatic, we build systems to render speech from any sound scenario clear and free of noise using state-of-the-art deep learning technology. Our mission is to empower millions of people with hearing loss to enjoy interactions in demanding social settings like bars or restaurants.

As a part of the Sonova Group, our team developed the speech enhancement neural network for the Phonak Infinio Sphere - the world’s first hearing aid to run a deep neural network (DNN) for real-time speech enhancement on a custom-built, low-power, embedded neural accelerator. Since then, numerous clinical studies and extensive market feedback have confirmed the significant, life-changing benefits of this breakthrough technology.

As a small, supportive team within a global leader, we pair startup agility with Sonova’s scale, audiological expertise, and world-class resources. Everyone here has the chance to shape how we work, contribute their ideas and have a direct impact on the products we deliver - creating technology that can transform lives.

Please note that the role outlined below is an on-site opportunity with a hybrid setup requiring at least 60% office attendance. Fully remote work is not possible. You should ideally be located in Berlin or close enough for an easy commute, or be open to relocating.
