Senior Data Researcher

Job Description

Job Description

Job Summary: We are interested in a variety of topics including big data management, self-service data cleaning and transformation at scale, data quality, search and discovery of structured data, information extraction, time-series and heterogenous data analytics, metadata management, applied AI, machine learning and data mining, data visualization, natural language processing and big data systems including systems' concerns such as: resource management, storage, caching, query processing, query optimization, security, and privacy.
Key Responsibilities:

• Investigate heterogenous data management techniques and polystore systems, including the application of AI & machine learning techniques to foundational data management problems including data quality, data profiling, data integration and schema matching.
• Develop tools and frameworks to enable scalable development of machine learning models and data science algorithms across heterogenous data domains, including tabular, time series, text, audio and video.
• Create distributed data processing architectures that leverage "compute at the edge to enable novel use cases and applications such as predictive routing, data-driven experiences, and adaptive environments.
• Work with researchers to understand data-related opportunities in peer researchers' domains such as applied AI and machine learning in Audio / Video domains.

What You Need To Succeed:

• Technical depth: Necessary technical knowledge to create new SW architecture needed for real time just in time processing for audio/video algorithms running on distributed fashion between cloud and edge devices. Basic knowledge on Audio/Video streaming formats.
• Explore new technologies: Openness to learn new areas and innovate in the new areas.
• Invent & Innovate: Develop short and long-term technologies, algorithms and software tools that will help make Dolby a world leader in enhancing the sight and sound associated with digital content consumption. Then influence and collaborate with BG partners put the technology into production.
