In
order to strengthen Nuance’s Embedded ASR Research team, we have created an
opening for a:
RESEARCH
ENGINEER NATURAL LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY
As
part of our team, you will be creating speech technologies for embedded
applications varying from simple command and control up to natural speech
dialogue on mobile and automotive platforms.
Overview:
- You will work in the Embedded ASR research and
production team, developing technology, tools and runtime software to enable
our customers develop and test embedded speech applications.
- You will work at Nuance’s International
Headquarters in Merelbeke, a small town just 5km away from the heart of the
picturesque city of
- You will work in an international company and cooperate with people on
various locations such as Burlington (USA), Tel Aviv (
- You will work on the development of cutting edge speech recognition prototypes
on PCs as well as embedded platforms, and products for automotive platforms and
mobile devices. You will help the engine process multi-lingual natural and
spontaneous speech in various noise conditions, given the challenging memory
and processing power constraints of the embedded world.
Responsibilities:
- Design, implementation, evaluation,
optimization and testing of new algorithms and tools for our speech recognition
systems, both for research prototypes and products, with a strong focus on
natural language processing.
Qualifications:
- You have a university degree in computer
science, engineering, mathematics, physics, computational linguistics, or a related
field.
- Very strong software and programming skills are required. Especially
in C/C++, ideally for embedded applications. Knowledge of Python is a
plus. GUI programming experience is a plus.
- Experience with XML processing is a plus.
- A good understanding of statistics and machine
learning techniques is an asset.
- A background in (computational) linguistics, speech
recognition, grammars, and parsing techniques is an asset, especially as
related to natural language processing, semantics, and representation of
meaning.
- Knowledge of dialogue systems design is a
plus.
- You are a team player, willing to take
initiative, and are goal oriented.
- You have a strong desire to make things really work in practice, on hardware
platforms with limited memory and processing power.
- You are fluent in English and you can write high quality documentation.
- Knowledge of other languages is a plus.
