Applications will be collected, reviewed, and selected candidates will be contacted in late fall/early winter.

The Shure Strategic Technology Team is looking for a rapid prototyping engineer to help research, prototype, and demonstrate forward-leaning use cases with next generation technologies for future product opportunities.

As intern for Spatial Audio and AR Prototyping, you will work on projects that relate to spatial audio and the audio side of Augmented Reality. Goal for this internship is to create fully functional prototypes which, for example, may augment human hearing through advanced ML techniques, applying principles of AR to the auditory domain using spatial audio.

We are a diverse group of engineers, designers, and people with other backgrounds who invent useful, playful, and beautiful things. Our vision is to make life easier, more connected, more entertaining, more personal, and more productive. This is your opportunity to join our talented professionals as an intern to work on cutting-edge technologies and cool projects.

This Internship can be Onsite or Hybrid.

Responsibilities

• Research the most efficient, effective, and practical methods for real-time audio augmentation using blind-source separation, denoising, speech enhancement, and the like.
• Develop an understanding of technical risks and opportunities, articulating trade-offs between multiple methods towards this goal.
• Implement a method to achieve the desired augmented hearing function.
• Create a prototype of the system that showcases the experience.
• Add a user interface which allows for intuitive interaction (based on existing dev kits).
• Keep a focus on the holistic system throughout the internship.
  
  

Qualifications

• On track for M.S. in Computer Science, Audio Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), or related field; alternatively, having completed 3 years toward bachelor plus previous internship experience.
• Coding skills in at least one low level language (e.g., C/C++) and one high-level language (e.g., Python) is required.
• Experience with common audio processing related tools and SDKs is required.
• Creativity and curiosity for future technologies and a passion for realizing new capabilities is required.
• Experience with spatial audio methods and algorithms is a plus.
• Prior work in audio source separation, speech enhancement, or related ML audio applications is a plus.
