Overview:
Join the leader in entertainment innovation and help us design the future. At Dolby, science meets art, and high tech means more than computer code. As a member of the Dolby team, you’ll see and hear the results of your work everywhere, from movie theaters to smartphones. We continue to revolutionize how people create, deliver, and enjoy entertainment worldwide. To do that, we need the absolute best talent, including experts in evolving broadcast technology.

As a Systems Engineer for the Home Theatre Product Development and Licensing group, you will create and maintain development materials used by Dolby licensees to integrate and test Dolby technologies in home entertainment products (such as audio/video receivers, Blu-ray Disc players, or soundbars). In this position, you will work closely with other engineers, product management, and marketing to define next generation technologies within the home entertainment ecosystem. Your detailed understanding of product design, chip architectures, and middleware will be essential to develop effective solutions to technical problems in the market. You will also participate with prototyping home entertainment products that incorporate Dolby technologies and you will stay abreast of the latest technology by interfacing with licensees and by seeking out relevant information from other sources such as industry whitepapers, data sheets, etc.
Responsibilities:
- Develop understanding of home entertainment product architectures.

- Develop product prototypes to better understand how Dolby technologies are used in home entertainment products and how they interact with other technologies. This activity includes modeling of the following:
- Pre-processing (signal conditioning, analog-to-digital conversion, demultiplexing);
- Core processing (Dolby codec technologies);
- Post-processing (Dolby post-processing technologies, bass management, time delays, audio/video synchronization);
- Inputs and outputs (line-level analog, HDMI, AES, S/PDIF);
- Typical and atypical use-cases of Dolby technologies (multi-screen, multiple encoding or other processes);
Qualifications:
- BS/MS in EE or CS (or equivalent) and ideally 3-5 years industry experience.
- Experience in debugging complex systems and issues; follow up on bug reports and resolves problems.
