Continental, Deer Park, IL

Embedded Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Maintain fixed-point and floating-point implementation for various features of echo cancellation/noise reduction (ECNR) module used for hands-free telephony automotive environment. The module is commonly known as Voice Signal Processing (VSP) library
• Extend frequency range of narrow-band signal sampled at 24 kHz and processed by VSP in low-band and high-band direction - the project based on existing bandwidth extension algorithms utilized for 16 kHz sampling rate and assumed improvement of intelligibility of degraded and band-limited (300 - 3400 Hz ) speech signal tiize
• Enhance communication protocol between VSP and its Tuning Tool application (VSPTT) through the verification of payload for existing messages - project introduced robust method of verification of existing messages and elimination of erroneous messages sent by VSPTT
• Design and implement audio mixing feature for VSP channels - component developed for the purpose of remote tuning of library’s parameters to the acoustic specification of vehicle cabin. The feature allows VSP to perform audio mixing process for a given VSP channel or set of channels, based on the information and audio data received from VSPTT
• Define set of new messages to handle communication between VSP library and VSPTT
• Outline strategy for memory allocation for audio data transferred to the target
• Implement verification for “out of order” data chunks received by the target
• Apply smoothing technique for the infinite playback routine associated with audio mixing
• Introduce mixing control mechanism for real time data processed through VSP channels (Network Access Device input/output, vehicle speakers output, microphones inputs, external reference input) and audio data received from VSPTT
• Control phase, gain and noise level of signal processed for selected channel or set of channels to achieve expected condition of audio data processed by VSP
• Resolve coding issues associated with utilization of different compilers (GCC, MS Visual Studio)
• Create Matlab scripts to support C code data analysis
• Write Perl scripts to elaborate on files produced/utilized by VSP
• Design simulation tests scripts for the purpose of white-box testing and code coverage of implemented feature
• Utilize common quality tools (Lint, QAC, Bullseye) to deliver secure and reliable solution
• Develop modular application of VSP simulator - an executable that simulates either car-to-landline or car-to-car closed loop scenario and allows Voice Solutions team members testing new or existing features introduced to the library
• Apply reverse engineering method to existing simulation
• Specify main components of the application
• Remove redundant code and flag options for the build
• Improve product quality and traceability through the modular approach to the project
