It has multiple competencies that innovate on technologies in audio, video, AR/VR, multimodal applied to gaming, music, professional, broadcast and user-generated content. Many areas of expertise related to computer science and electrical engineering, such as AI/ML, computer vision, image processing, algorithms, digital signal processing, audio engineering, data science & analytics, distributed systems, cloud, edge & mobile computing, natural language processing, knowledge engineering and management, social network analysis, computer graphics, image & signal compression, computer networking, IoT are highly relevant to our research.
What you'll do As a senior researcher, you will invent and develop the next generation of image and video analysis, enhancement, and processing technologies. Jointly with Dolby's world-class global research teams, you will set directions, identify projects, and build the next wave of image technologies driving Dolby's cloud and licensing business. With a solid understanding of both traditional image processing and newer AI technologies, you will not only perform research using signal processing based only solutions, but you will also work at the intersection of classical image processing and new AI algorithms. You will apply these insights to the research of image delivery, analysis, and content creation technologies. As a senior leader, you will manage and mentor a small group of researchers working in image processing, computer graphics, computer science, and content enhancement. Being a senior researcher, you will work with your team as a coach and mentor. You are passionate about developing junior, highly talented staff into researchers that work fully independently in a corporate environment. You work with ATG technology leaders to co-define projects and assign your staff to global R&D initiatives led by other technology initiative leads.
