Position Available:
Senior DSP Software Engineer
The Company
BDTI works closely with major players in the semiconductor, intellectual property (IP) licensing, development tools, and electronic systems industries to evaluate and develop a variety of processing engines optimized for signal processing applications. We also develop highly optimized software applications for embedded systems based on these processing engines. Check out the BDTI customer list and you will see many leading-edge companies developing next generation video, audio, multimedia and other DSP-centric technologies where squeezing the maximum performance from a processor is critical.
BDTI uses its proprietary benchmarks to evaluate and compare processors and FPGAs for digital signal processing applications. BDTI's benchmark results and analysis are published in BDTI's highly regarded analysis reports, such as "Buyer's Guide to DSP Processors," and are widely used throughout the industry. Increasingly, we also evaluate software, hardware, and system development tools.
The company was founded in 1992 by U.C. Berkeley faculty and researchers.
The Job
We are seeking an experienced self-starter and team player with a successful industry track record in most of the following areas:
- In-depth knowledge of the architecture and instruction set of one or more processors
- Outstanding coding and optimization skills in both C and assembly.
- In-depth knowledge of one or more DSP application areas (e.g., video, audio.)
- Strong understanding of how signal-processing algorithms, software, and processor architectures are interrelated
- Understanding of FPGAs
- Strong analytical skills
- Strong written and oral communications skills
- Strong organizational skills
- An ability and willingness to juggle multiple assignments, adapt to fast-changing circumstances, and do what it takes to get the job done.
In this position, your responsibilities will include the definition, implementation, optimization, and review of a variety of signal processing algorithms; these may be applications used in products or benchmarks used to compare and analyze DSP-oriented processors. The types of algorithms include
- Video coding algorithms (including proprietary and standards such as H.264)
- Audio coding algorithms (including proprietary and standards such as MP3)
- DSP kernel algorithms (FIR/IIR filters, FFTs, DCTs, etc.)
- Communications receivers (such as OFDM)
- A variety of other DSP-intensive algorithms
In addition to design, implementation, and testing of algorithms, you will perform analysis to explain processor or tool performance results, and identify advantages and disadvantages. Additionally you will advise our clients on how to improve their architectures, instruction sets, tools, and software.
This position affords many unique opportunities, such as:
- Becoming an expert on a wide range of signal-processing architectures, tools, and applications
- Working on a variety of assignments—not just the same project month after month
- Being exposed to a range of new technologies, often months or even years before they are publicly introduced
- Influencing the direction of future products by providing product designers with feedback on their products' strengths and weaknesses and by helping technology users make good choices
- Interacting with senior technical and business people (such as chief architects and marketing directors) at many of the most important technology companies worldwide
- Working with top-notch colleagues
To be successful in this position, you must be able to manage multiple concurrent assignments, with multiple deadlines.
Applicants must have or be able to obtain the legal right to work in the U.S. BDTI will assist qualified candidates with the visa application process.
