Research Associate / Fellow (AI for Audio/Acoustic Transcription)

About the role

The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University is looking for a Research Fellow or Research Associate to continue existing work on applying AI for audio/acoustic transcription and signal processing. The role focuses on developing new models and algorithms to make the project more industry-ready, moving from a single platform to a cross-platform approach.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the effort to translate high-level audio algorithms implemented in other audio prototyping software into high-performance, architecture-specific code.
• Work closely with other researchers to design and implement DSP algorithms that meet system-level constraints.
• Define and implement the software architecture for real-time audio systems on prototype hardware containing many co-processors.
• Develop key AI models that are efficient and suited to acoustic/audio transcription, requiring deep knowledge of interdisciplinary domains.

Required profile

• PhD (for Research Fellow) or Master's degree (for Research Associate equivalent) in an acoustic/audio or AI-related field.
• At least 4 years of relevant research experience in AI-assisted acoustic/audio work, including hands-on embedded processor/GPU programming.
• Experience on a noise control project aimed at improving detectability.
• Ability to work independently, with deep analysis, attention to detail and good time management.

Required skills

• Proficiency in building embedded systems for AI-assisted audio applications.
• Strong proficiency in Python, MATLAB and C programming, with strong numerical and analytical skills.
• Good written and oral communication skills.
