Job description

Overview

Analog works across a wide range of sectors as a force for transformation, including large enterprises, government, healthcare, and ecology. Its AI philosophy is centered on creating technology that improves human experiences and supports a more connected, blended world rather than focusing only on efficiency. The company’s goal is to make technology feel seamlessly present in daily life while helping people reconnect with a more human way of living.

Role

The Speech & Language Scientist position is a specialist research role dedicated to advancing speech and language technologies. It connects research with practical development and supports innovation in areas such as automatic speech recognition, natural language understanding, text-to-speech, and conversational AI.

Responsibilities

  • Carry out advanced research in speech and audio technologies, covering speech recognition, speech synthesis, audio enhancement, speaker identification, and spatial audio.
  • Investigate, design, build, and validate new speech and audio processing methods using machine learning, signal processing, and computer vision techniques.
  • Work closely with software engineers, product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to turn research outputs into usable products.
  • Raise the performance and reliability of models and algorithms, and coordinate with different teams to resolve implementation issues efficiently.
  • Identify business use cases where AI can improve client operations and overall efficiency.
  • Create, assess, refine, and optimize algorithms and models for audio applications such as speech recognition, text-to-speech, and speaker recognition.

Qualifications

  • A Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a similar field with a strong emphasis on speech and audio processing, or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • A demonstrated history of research work in speech or audio processing, backed by publications in respected peer-reviewed journals or conferences.
  • Strong command of machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, along with programming skills in Python, C++, or comparable languages.
  • Deep understanding of signal processing methods and deep learning approaches used in speech and audio problems.
  • Experience handling large datasets and working with distributed computing environments.
  • Publication record in venues such as CVPR, ECCV, NIPS, ICASSP, and Interspeech, among others.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with real-time audio systems or products used in AR/VR, accessibility, or social interaction platforms.
  • Exposure to multilingual or low-resource speech recognition methods.
  • Background in self-supervised or unsupervised learning for speech and audio representations.
  • Knowledge of privacy-preserving methods for audio data processing.
  • Prior experience mentoring junior researchers or coordinating collaborative research projects.

What Working at Analog Offers

  • Culture: You will join a collaborative, globally aware team focused on building the future of physical intelligence. The environment values curiosity, courage, and creativity, with a shared belief that technology should enhance human potential rather than replace it.
  • Impact: The role offers the chance to contribute to projects with national and international importance, spanning adaptive cities, resilient infrastructure, sports, entertainment, healthcare, and energy. Your work will help shape a safer, smarter, and more human-centered world.
  • Growth: The company provides strong learning and career development opportunities. You will work alongside leaders in AI, robotics, mixed reality, and systems engineering on frontier-scale solutions.
