Jobs in Germany
Omnisent is pioneering scalable acoustic sensing powered by AI — transforming audio into real-time intelligence.
We build hardware + software tailored for acoustic data, designed to extract insights from complex acoustic signals. Our proprietary ultra-low-power sonic devices capture and process acoustic signals in real-time, training what we call a Large Acoustic Model (LAM) — our foundation model built to decode the rich, messy, and untapped world of non-speech audio.
We’re starting with the manufacturing industry, applying our tech to compressed air systems — one of the most overlooked sources of energy waste. From there, we’re expanding into energy, defense, space, and smart cities — sectors where sound is the next frontier.
Tasks
Embedded Systems Design & Development
- Architect, develop, and test embedded firmware to translate detection algorithms and operating procedures for our sensor platform (sensor + gateway) for embedded microcontrollers.
- Design and implement software drivers, communication protocols (e.g., SPI, I²C, UART, CAN), and peripheral interfaces (including GPS, data storage, ADC) to ensure efficient device operation.
- Optimize code for performance, data-compression, power efficiency, and reliability across various operating conditions and harsh environmental conditions.
Hardware & System Integration
- Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, and signal processing teams to integrate embedded systems with PCBs, sensor interfaces, and communication modules.
- Design and implement test routines to validate the reliability and responsiveness of the sensors in-field at our pilots facilities.
- Support the prototyping process by refining hardware/software integration during rapid product iterations.
Debugging, Testing & Documentation
- Lead debugging efforts using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-circuit debuggers; identify and resolve integration issues to ensure robust performance.
- Prepare and document test procedures, results, and revisions during the system lifecycle.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
- Work closely with electronic, AI, and mechanical teams to iterate on system improvements and adapt to evolving project requirements.
- Contribute to developing best practices and design documentation, ensuring that knowledge is continuously shared among teams.
- Assist in coordinating with research labs and third-party test facilities to validate findings and translate research into practical embedded solutions.
Requirements
