The team

The department of Signal Processing in Lynge consist of +20 enthusiastic and highly skilled specialists working on a multitude of different topics all around Audio Signal Processing.

The culture in the department is focused on teamwork, creativity, agile teams, as well as being able to be creative and continuously come up with new ideas. The team is creative with diverse backgrounds, and we enjoy working in an informal, yet professional, atmosphere. We are enthusiastic about signal processing aspects including the processing of the microphone signals in the hearing aids to generate an output signal which allows people to communicate in noisy situations and we work every day to ensure excellent sound for our users to ensure them wonderful sound.

As a department, we are working in an agile way across a wide range of areas such as developing new algorithms, neural networks, detection algorithms, and much more. Our hearing aids are renowned for their quality with emphasis on delivering clear and natural sound as well as pushing the envelope by being first movers and bringing new innovations to the market.

The role

You will be part of one of our cross-functional development workgroups following Agile work principles, meaning that you can expect a highly collaborative and ever-changing work life. Your primary goal will be to design, implement, and test & verify signal processing solutions for our future generations of advanced hearing aids.

Your daily tasks could look like the following: Developing, inventing, verifying, and prototyping of innovative audio digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, such as beamforming, noise reduction, acoustic source localization. Implementing and integrating the algorithms into the development of hearing aid features in a joined collaboration with other R&D departments and marketing requirements. Porting and optimizing DSP algorithms towards embedded firmware with high focus on performance and power efficiency. Driving best practices for Software Development to ensure high quality, re-usability and modularity of code. Provide technical guidance and coaching in areas of expertise for team members. Technology forecasting, monitoring, scouting and integration of new technologies into WS Audiology solutions. Breaking down complex tasks and planning your daily work with your agile team. Understanding hearing-aid user needs and keeping update with the daily situations of them.

Your profile
