8 years of experience developing machine learning algorithms specifically for audio applications (e.g., neural noise suppression, acoustic modeling, or speech enhancement). Lead algorithm feasibility research for "moonshot" audio initiatives—specifically Superhuman Hearing—operating outside the gravitational pull of immediate product timelines.

Applicants in the County of Los Angeles: Qualified applications with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers and the California Fair Chance Act.<h3>Minimum qualifications:</h3><ul><li>Bachelor’s degree in Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.</li><li>8 years of experience developing machine learning algorithms specifically for audio applications (e.g., neural noise suppression, acoustic modeling, or speech enhancement).</li><li>Experience in algorithm implementation and prototyping using C++ and Python.</li><li>Experience with deep learning frameworks such as JAX, TensorFlow, or PyTorch applied to signal processing challenges.</li></ul><h3>Preferred qualifications:</h3><ul><li>PhD in Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, Acoustics, or a related field.</li><li>Experience navigating high-ambiguity research environments where the priority is delivering massive user differentiation over a specific method.</li><li>Experience in developing foundational elements for agentic audio, such as Open Ear ANC or Superhuman Hearing/Perception.</li><li>Ability to operate as the fourth founding member in a lean, high-velocity team, maintaining a "shielded but connected" partnership with core engineering to guide future product execution.</li><li>A proven track record of moving theoretical ML-audio research into hardware-validated prototypes or real-world product proofs-of-concept.</li></ul><div><h2>About the job</h2><p>Join a new, high-velocity "startup-style" Applied Research team within TechEng dedicated to transformational audio bets for the next decade of Pixel and Buds. As the fourth founding member of this group, you will lead exploratory, non-timeline-based research into Open Ear ANC and Superhuman Hearing.</p><p>We operate under a "shielded but connected" model—protected from the gravitational pull of daily product cycles to focus on pure feasibility and first-principles innovation. You will adopt an impact-first philosophy, ruthlessly prioritizing massive user differentiation to prove the "impossible" and define the foundational elements of agentic audio experiences.</p>The US base salary range for this full-time position is $237,000-$329,000 + bonus + equity + benefits.
