<h2><span><span><span><span><span>Part of a highly motivated team</span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<p><span><span><span>In your new position at Demant, you will join Foundation Software group, which is a part of the R&D unit Device SW. </span></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><span><span>The group consists of about 20 highly skilled colleagues, working in four scrum teams with a focus on delivering embedded SW functionalities that form a foundation of all hearing device SW platforms. The atmosphere in the teams is informal and friendly, but at the same time highly engaged. </span></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><span><span>We believe that the best results come from a fruitful team effort. We support each other, we provide feedback and share knowledge and ideas to continuously improve our solutions. </span></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><span><span>We have an informal, collaborative and creative atmosphere where respect is central, and where we work together towards common goals.</span></span></span></p>

<h2><span><span><span><span><span>Loads of advanced features packed into a resource constrained platform</span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<p><span><span><span>Our group is involved in all phases of product development, from IC specification, early wakeup, development, verification, to market releasing. This makes our work very diverse in terms of both pace and content. </span></span></span></p>
<h2></h2>
<p><span><span><span>Depending on the phase of the project, we work in simulations, FPGAs or on the actual chipset. Our chipsets are advanced multi-core network-on-chip solutions, and, as they are developed internally, our delivery starts with the boot ROM and extends all the way up to the application layer. We use a number of specialized in-house tools and procedures that assist our development at every stage.</span></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><span><span>Our goal is to deliver the most advanced low-power audio-enabled device, living up to medical device standards. This entails designing safe C code that provides advanced functionality with real-time guarantees for the audio system, while at the same time balancing memory consumption, compute cycles and power efficiency. </span></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><span><span>The firmware platform includes hardware drivers, real-time operating system, power management, file system, communication stacks, firmware update functionality, security and more.</span></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><span><span>As a senior member of our team your main responsibilities would be to:</span></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li><span><span><span><span><b>Act as a subject matter expert and contribute to specifying functionalities and architectural aspects required for new releases and products.</b></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span><span><span><span><b>Contribute to initiatives to improve efficiency and quality of internal deliveries, processes and tools.</b></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span><span><span><span><b>Design, develop, test and release firmware for our chipset.</b></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span><span><span><span><b>Enable hardware and production to calibrate and verify the final product.</b></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span><span><span><span><b>Contribute to the definition and development of our internally developed ICs.</b></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span><span><span><span><b>Develop and verify efficient firmware on a custom IC while it is under development.</b></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span><span><span><span><b>Provide guidance and coach junior colleagues, share knowledge and ideas.</b></span></span></span></span></li>
