Internship - Near Field Sound

At Sonos we want to create the ultimate listening experience for our customers and know that it starts by listening to each other. As part of the Sonos team, you’ll collaborate with people of all styles, skill sets, and backgrounds to realize our vision while fostering a community where everyone feels included and empowered to do the best work of their lives.The Role: In this project you will be doing research on solving several challenges related to how sound is being rendered by speakers in an ultra near field listening space. In this domain we’re trying to minimize the quality loss that is caused by sensitivity to the room, the audience’s position, and external noise factors. We’re planning to mitigate the problems through hardware, software algorithms and artificial intelligence. You will be focusing on the Algorithm and AI part, analyzing first the magnitude and cause of the issues related to ultra-near field listening, and then solving these issues. What You Will Do - Program ScheduleTotal duration: 6 months, full-timeMonth 1,2 - Analysis issues and report thereofMonth 3 - Development of a paper exercise solutionMonth 4 - First iteration experiments, and report thereofMonth 5 - Second iteration experiments, and report thereofMonth 6 - Third iteration experiments, and final reportWhat You’ll Need:Basic Qualifications:Fluent in Java, Ruby on Rails, C++ or other programming languagesExperience with test-driven developmentProficiency in software engineering toolsAbility to document requirements and specificationsBSc degree in Computer Science, Engineering or relevant fieldPro: Experience developing web applications using at least one popular web framework (JSF, Wicket, GWT, Spring MVC)Able to learn and apply new knowledge quicklyYou will learn basic acoustics and audio engineering skills in the internship programYour profile will be reviewed and you'll hear from us once we have an update.
