Our rockstar team thrives on solving complex challenges with innovative end-user solutions for the world's top consumer brands. Cirrus Logic is also known for its award-winning culture, which was built on a foundation of inclusion and fairness, meaningful community engagement, and delivering enjoyable employee experiences at every turn. But we couldn’t do it without our extraordinary workforce – and that’s where you come in. Join our team and help us continue to make Cirrus Logic an exceptional place to grow your career!
This role focuses on pioneering research and innovative design for next-generation software systems and platforms. You’ll work on rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept experimentation, turning bold ideas into reality.
Expect hands-on involvement with laboratory data collection and advanced MATLAB processing to develop systems and algorithms for real-time DSP processors—both fixed- and floating-point—across diverse signal processing domains such as audio, acoustics, and power.
We’re looking for someone who thrives in both independent projects and collaborative environments, with a strong creative drive and a proven track record of innovation through publications, patents, or commercial designs. Clear, impactful communication and the ability to translate complex ideas into actionable solutions are essential.
