The European Voice Technology Development
organisation at IBM is responsible for the development of current and future
speech technologies (covering speech recognition, speech synthesis, speech
understanding). These technologies are used within IBM’s telephony and embedded
solution offerings (IBM WebSphere Voice Server, embedded ViaVoice). To
strengthen our teams we are looking for university hires or professionals for
several temporary and permanent positions as Software Engineers in Speech Technology
Processing at IBM German Development.
Please
apply through this web-link (http://www-5.ibm.com/employment/de/jobs/e1404.html) or by mail to Dr.
Jochen Friedrich (jochen@de.ibm.com) or
Dr. Siegfried (Jimmy) Kunzmann (kunzmann@de.ibm.com).
The major
tasks in our team are:
·
Development
of newest, advanced speech
technologies
·
Development
of speech processing technologies for research
and product prototypes (Large Vocabulary Speech Recognition, Telephony/Embedded
Acoustic Systems, Natural Language
Understanding, Speech Synthesis, Multilingual Speech Recognition)
·
Execution
of experiments for evaluation and optimisation of recognition accuracy
·
Architecture,
design and development of speech technology tools to simplify the training and
analysis of speech processing
systems
·
Fast
and efficient implementation and use of newest speech technologies on different
OS platforms based on early findings
from IBM Research and/or the scientific community
·
Development
of language specific acoustic & linguistic data & parameter sets for
various usage scenarios (Desktop,
Telephony,
Embedded)
·
Adaptation
and solving of language problems specifically for European languages
It is of
advantage that you have a degree in computer science or electrical engineering
as well as profound and applied (algorithmic) knowledge in one or several of the
following areas:
·
Pattern
recognition
·
Speech processing (recognition,
synthesis, natural language understanding dialog system)
·
Multi-dimensional speech signal
processing
·
Architecture / system-design /
implementation of stochastic algorithms of speech processing systems (HMM,
statistical parser)
·
acoustic
& linguistic speech processing speech processing
·
broad
theoretical and applied knowledge (statistic, acoustic, phonetic, linguistic) in
development and research
of speech recognition, synthesis and understanding systems
·
PhD or comparable experience
preferred
In
addition you should have profound, applied knowledge and experience with
one/several operating systems (Linux, Windows, cluster)
and modern programming languages (C++, XML, scripting languages)
Languages:
fluent German
& English,
more
European
languages
are of benefit.
