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.

Deep Learning Engineers form the core of our team at Audatic. If you are excited to develop novel algorithms for customizable sound environments, we have a fantastic job opportunity for you!

• Train state-of-the-art deep learning models that provide optimal quality and efficiency on our embedded device platforms.
