Introduction: A Career at HARMAN Automotive We’re a global, multi-disciplinary team that’s putting the innovative power of technology to work and transforming tomorrow. At HARMAN Automotive, we give you the keys to fast-track your career. Engineer audio systems and integrated technology platforms that augment the driving experience Combine ingenuity, in-depth research, and a spirit of collaboration with design and engineering excellence Advance in-vehicle infotainment, safety, efficiency, and enjoyment What You’ll Be Part Of As a Advanced Engineer, Audio System Validation, you are responsible for safeguarding system trust across the technology development lifecycle. You apply deep DSP and system-level expertise to validate algorithmic correctness, detect regression risks, and ensure that measurable performance standards are met throughout development and prior to release. Operating within the EPIC Validation Team, you contribute primarily by embedding technical validation and automated guardrails directly into development workflows. How You’ll Make An Impact Perform white-box validation of DSP algorithms and system-level audio processing. Design and execute structured signal-based validation scenarios. Detect artifacts, performance regression, latency issues, and algorithmic instability. Define measurable validation criteria aligned with System Trust standards. Collaborate with developers to integrate repeatable validation checks into CI environments. Analyze complex technical findings and translate them into actionable engineering feedback. Support final validation by providing technical root-cause analysis when required. Contribute to the evolution of automated guardrails and regression protection strategies What Makes You A Strong Fit Strong background (5+ years) in Digital Signal Processing (DSP), audio algorithms, or embedded audio systems Academic background with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Sound Engineering / Electrical Engineering / Signal Processing or equivalent Solid understanding of software development workflows and integration environments Experience performing white-box technical validation and root-cause analysis. Ability to independently solve moderately complex technical problems. Strong analytical thinking and structured documentation skills Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to cross-functional teams Bonus Points if You Have Experience integrating automated validation into CI/CD pipelines. Familiarity with performance testing in embedded systems Exposure to perceptual audio implications of DSP decisions Experience in automotive or resource-constrained systems. Knowledge of measurement tools and signal analysis environments Valid driver's license Proficiency in on site native language Things To Know 10% travel might require. Willingness to work in a HARMAN office located in Bengaluru, India Successfully completing a background investigation and drug screen as a condition of employment What You Can Expect A hybrid work environment that balances flexibility with in-person collaboration, with most office-based roles onsite three days a week.
