Audio DSP Deployment Engineer
About Hark
Hark is an artificial intelligence company building advanced, personalized intelligence. One that is proactive, multimodal, and capable of interacting with the world through speech, text, vision, and persistent memory.
We're pairing that intelligence with next-generation hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines. While today's AI largely operates through chat boxes and decade-old devices, Hark is focused on what comes next: agentic systems that interact naturally with people and the real world.
To get there, we're developing multimodal models and next-generation AI hardware together - designed from the ground up as a single, unified interface for a new era of intelligent systems.
About the Role
We're looking for an experienced Audio DSP Deployment Engineer to own how our audio algorithms work on device. Our algorithm team prototypes and validates new audio processing on the desktop in MaxMSP, JUCE, Python, and MATLAB, but the on-device implementation is its own design problem: what runs where, at what precision, in what block size, and within what compute, memory, and latency budget. You will own that design, reworking and extending algorithms so they hold up in real time on the embedded DSP cores inside our products, tuning them against real hardware an
