We are looking for a highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic Software engineer to help solve complex problems across a variety of audio processing projects. You will be both creating new solutions, as well as evaluating and improving existing processes. .

To ensure success in this role you should be able to demonstrate solid data science knowledge and experience in a related role, involving Signal Processing, Algorithm development or related fields, as well as providing a positive and professional addition to an innovative team.

This role will be part of a small, new, team of engineers, meaning that you will be involved in all parts of the solutions, through from design to deployment (and everything in-between). Each member is expected to have strengths in certain areas and share these to improve the functionality and performance of the team.

To this end, we also run Innovate Fridays, where the team is not expected to be working on direct projects, and can do research or side-projects in any technical field which they wish, either at home or in the office. This knowledge is then shared through talks with the rest of the team, and applications to current problems are discussed.

Due to the size of the company and Employment law in Taiwan, this position is only open to engineers who have the right to live & work in Taiwan. Syncopate Innovations will be unable to sponsor VISA or ARC at this time. 

The office language is English, so please do not apply if you are not comfortable consulting, documenting and conversing in English.
